Addiction Therapies at Lennox CMHC

At Lennox Comprehensive Mental Health Center (CMHC) in Van Nuys, we offer evidence-based and holistic addiction therapy programs to support individuals struggling with addiction, mental health challenges, and trauma. Personalized care provides the right support for long-term recovery, whether they’re in inpatient, partial hospitalization, outpatient, or intensive outpatient treatment.

Our addiction specialists use a variety of addiction therapies to help individuals build resilience, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and pursue sustainable recovery. We treat the whole person with a combination of evidence-based and alternative methods, from motivational interviewing (MI) to hypnotherapy.

Addiction Therapy Programs: Breaking the Cycle

Successful addiction recovery requires addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological parts of addiction. Our addiction therapy services help uncover the root causes of drug and alcohol use and teach individuals to cope without substances. For some, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is necessary for a well-rounded addiction therapy program.

Personalized Individual Therapy

One-on-one addiction therapy sessions provide a confidential space for clients to explore their personal struggles. Many individuals with addiction also experience anxiety, depression, or trauma symptoms, making individual therapy sessions essential for long-term healing.

Our California addiction therapists work closely with each client to create a personalized inpatient or outpatient treatment plan for trigger management, stress reduction, and relapse prevention. By addressing both mental health and addiction, individual counseling supports a holistic addiction therapy program.

The Power of Group Therapy

Recovery can feel isolating, but group therapy provides peer support and shared experiences, fostering motivation. Individuals learn from each other, gain accountability, and develop healthier social connections.

Group therapy is particularly beneficial for:

  • Building communication skills
  • Reducing feelings of shame
  • Reinforcing positive coping strategies

For many at our Van Nuys rehab, hearing others’ experiences helps them stay engaged in their own addiction therapy programs.

Family Therapy: Rebuilding Healthier Relationships

Substance abuse affects both individuals and family members.

In addiction treatment, family therapy helps loved ones:

  • Improve communication and trust
  • Understand addiction
  • Create a supportive home environment
  • Navigate the challenges of addiction recovery
  • Repair relationships

Through family counseling, clients and their families learn how to support one another throughout the addiction recovery process.

CBT: Changing Thought Patterns

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment that focuses on changing negative thought patterns that fuel addiction.

Clients at our Los Angeles treatment center learn how to:

  • Recognize self-destructive beliefs
  • Develop coping strategies for stress and cravings
  • Prevent relapse through self-awareness and emotional regulation

Cognitive behavioral therapy is highly effective for treating substance use, anxiety, and depression, making it a key part of addiction therapy programs.

DBT: Emotional Regulation for Recovery

While cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on thoughts, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on behaviors. DBT helps manage intense emotions and develop healthy coping skills. This type of addiction therapy is especially helpful for impulse control, emotional instability, and interpersonal conflicts.

DBT teaches essential skills for:

  • Handling stress without resorting to substance use
  • Regulating emotions and reducing self-destructive behaviors

Building stronger and healthier relationships

EMDR: Healing Trauma for Long-Term Recovery

For many individuals, unresolved trauma or PTSD plays a role in addiction. EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a guided eye-movement technique used in addiction treatment to process these memories.

EMDR helps to:

  • Reframe traumatic experiences
  • Reduce emotional triggers that lead to substance use
  • Strengthen clients’ overall mental health and resilience
