ADDICTION CENTERS - BEST
PLACE TO BEAT ADDICTION
 One-on-one counseling
 A client focused approach is employed. This means that a therapist sits with
a single individual, learns his/her weaknesses and they work out a recovery
plan together.
 Group counseling
 This is where more than one client is attended to at the same time. Clients
can be grouped in terms of their challenges or stage of treatment.
 Mentor talks
 This involves discussions with people who have either been addicts or lived
with addicts. They offer practical advice and suggestions on how to beat the
habit.
 Family counselling sessions
 An addiction center may also involve the addict’s family and find ways to
work together to support the individual. The family is encouraged to look
out for emotional stress and other signs of relapse; with this knowledge,
they are able to remind their loved ones of the benefits of staying clean.
