Frequently Answered Questions: (FAQs)

  • What is One to One Therapy?
    One-on-one therapy, also known as psychotherapy or talk therapy, is a type of treatment where a client works with a trained therapist to address issues in a safe, confidential environment. It can help people with a variety of challenges, such as: Alcohol or drug addiction, Stress, Bereavement, and Other life-related stressors. 
    One-on-one therapy can help break down barriers that interfere with mental and emotional well-being. The therapy process usually involves several stages, including: Relationship building, Problem assessment, Goal setting, Counseling intervention, and Evaluation, termination, or referral. 
    One-on-one therapy sessions can take place in person or on-line.
  • What is Group Therapy?
    Group psychotherapy is an effective form of therapy in which a small number of people meet together under the guidance of a professionally trained therapist to help themselves and one another. There are many different approaches to group therapy but they share in common creating a safe, supportive, and cohesive space to address personal, relationship and societal issues.
  • What is an Addiction IOP?
    While the specifics of each intensive outpatient program (IOP) differ, every IOP provides a highly structured treatment program that addresses substance use disorder (SUD) issues and relapse prevention for individuals who do not require medical detoxification or 24-hour supervision. Individuals participating in IOPs are able to maintain responsibilities at home, school, or work since they can return home or to a sober living environment at the end of each day.
    Though they may involve the same or very similar therapeutic approaches as other levels of care for addiction treatment—such as individual and group therpy, medication (if necessary), behavioural therapies, psychoeducation, case management, and more—IOPs offer a higher level of intensity than standard outpatient programs but a lower level than inpatient rehab. Individuals may transition to an IOP from withdrawal management or inpatient programs, or they may begin treatment in an IOP. While programs vary, IOPs generally require participants to attend treatment at least 9 hours per week, which is often delivered in 3, 3-hour sessions over a period of 8 weeks.
  • What are support groups?
    A support group provides an opportunity for people to share personal experiences and feelings, coping strategies, or first-hand information about diseases or treatments. For many people, a health-related support group may fill a gap between medical treatment and the need for emotional support. A person's relationship with doctor or other medical personnel may not provide adequate emotional support, and a person's family and friends may not understand the impact of a disease or treatment. A support group among people with shared experiences may function as a bridge between medical and emotional needs. These groups are provided free of charge, and can be used in conjunction with structured therapy sessions or groups.
