Why Our Addiction Therapy Approach Is Different

Every person’s recovery journey is different, which is why we use multiple therapeutic approaches instead of relying on a single method. By combining evidence-based therapy, personalized treatment planning, and supportive recovery programs, we help clients develop skills that reduce cravings, improve emotional resilience, and support long-term sobriety.

Here’s what makes our therapy approach so effective:

✔ Personalized, Whole-Person Care: Your therapy plan is designed around your history, needs, and goals — not a one-size-fits-all model.

✔ Evidence-Based Clinical Modalities: We use proven therapies like CBT, DBT, EMDR, REBT, ACT, and more.

✔ Dual Diagnosis Expertise: Most clients struggle with underlying anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, trauma, or other mental-health concerns. We treat these directly — not after addressing addiction.

✔ Trauma-Informed Care: Addiction often begins as a response to trauma. Our clinicians are trained to recognize and treat trauma without re-traumatizing clients.

✔ Holistic & Wellness Therapies: Yoga, meditation, sauna detox, nutrition support, breathwork, mindfulness training — each supports physical and emotional healing.

✔ Luxury Care in a Private Environment: Our boutique setting allows for deeper therapeutic focus, confidentiality, and comfort.

Core Addiction Therapy Modalities

No two clients heal the same way, so we offer a wide range of therapy techniques to address the emotional, behavioral, and psychological factors that drive addiction. These modalities help clients build insight, regulate emotions, manage stress, and strengthen coping skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps clients understand how thoughts and behaviors shape cravings, stress, and substance use.

Change Patterns, Change Life

Safe Haven uses CBT to break addictive thinking, build coping skills, and support long-term emotional stability. Start creating healthier habits today.
Learn More

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT strengthens emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and impulse control—common challenges in addiction.

Stability Through Skills

Clients learn practical tools to manage triggers, reduce reactivity, and navigate high-emotion moments without turning to substances. Find balance and resilience.
Learn More

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR helps process traumatic memories that often underlie substance use or co-occurring conditions like PTSD.

Heal Trauma at the Source

Our EMDR-trained clinicians guide clients through trauma resolution while supporting nervous system healing. Recover with clarity and safety.
Learn More

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

REBT helps clients identify irrational beliefs, self-defeating thought patterns, and emotional reactions that contribute to substance use and mental-health struggles.

Shift Beliefs, Strengthen Recovery

REBT helps clients replace harmful beliefs with empowering, realistic ones—reducing shame, emotional distress, and relapse triggers.
Learn More

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps clients accept difficult emotions instead of fighting them, reduce avoidance behaviors, and commit to actions aligned with their values—an important skill in overcoming addiction.

Live in Alignment Again

Safe Haven Recovery uses ACT to help clients build psychological flexibility, reduce relapse-linked avoidance, and reconnect with purpose. Create a life guided by values, not cravings.
Learn More

Motivational Interviewing & MET

Therapies that help clients explore ambivalence, build confidence, and strengthen the motivation to change.

Empowering Internal Motivation

Heal All Parts of You

Our IFS-informed approach helps clients understand internal conflicts, soothe wounded parts, and reduce the pull toward self-destructive behaviors. Find inner harmony and safer coping strategies.

12-Step Programs VS Non-12-Step Programs

Ongoing support is an essential part of long-term sobriety. We introduce clients to several proven recovery pathways so they can choose what best aligns with their beliefs and goals. Whether you prefer a spiritual, community-based model or a secular, skills-focused approach, you’ll have access to programs that help you stay grounded and connected.

A Proven Path to Lasting Recovery
