New Answers to Old Problems

Addiction is a disease. Like any other disease, our understanding of its workings and the best treatment continues to evolve. At Acqua, we are dedicated to utilizing the most current technology and treatment modalities to work towards consistent positive outcomes.

We track client progress using best-in-class technologies, and adjust our treatment offerings based on what the data tells us. We are not afraid to adjust our approach if it means our clients have a better chance at a life in recovery.

What is Trauma-Informed Care?

Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an approach to healthcare that starts from this core assumption: A person is more likely to have a history of trauma than not.

When trauma occurs, it affects a person’s sense of self, their sense of others, and their beliefs about the world. TIC therefore strives to understand the whole of a person by recognizing the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledging the role trauma may play in a person’s life.

This is achieved through the Five Guiding Principles of TIC: safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness and empowerment. In trauma-informed care, those principles apply to both patients and staff.

Trauma-Informed Care in Addiction Treatment

Acqua Recovery embraces the TIC model in addiction treatment. Our holistic approach treats the whole person — mind, body, and soul — through individual and group therapy, exercise, a pro-recovery diet, psychiatry, and access to a variety of spiritual and self-help tools.

Within therapy settings, we focus on a person’s core beliefs — those deeply-held beliefs about themselves and the world they occupy. We explore how those beliefs were formulated, and whether any of those beliefs has had a negative impact on the person and their life. If so, we work to shift their thinking to a belief that will be more helpful.

Of course, such work can be intense, and we respect the agency of the individual every step of the way. Each patient has the option to do this kind of trauma exploration on their own terms — or not at all. When a person experiences trauma, their choice and their freedom is taken away. Part of our work is ensuring that we do not perpetuate that experience or re-traumatize an individual pursuing health and healing.

Overall, Acqua Recovery strives to create a true sanctuary for healing. Safety is at the foundation of building collaboration, empowerment, and trust in your peers and treatment team. When a person feels safe, they can do the work that it takes to find freedom from trauma and addiction.

Treatment Types

Each client receives individual sessions with a Master’s-level clinician twice a week. Our multi-disciplinary team creates a customized treatment plan and may utilize a variety of the most innovative and effective approaches to treatment, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

A type of psychotherapy in which negative patterns of thought about the self and the world are challenged in order to alter unwanted behavior patterns or treat mood disorders such as depression.

Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)

REBT is an action-oriented approach focused on helping people deal with irrational beliefs and learn how to manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in a healthier way.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical behavior therapy's main goals are to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.

Internal Family Systems & Inner Child Work

Inner Child Work is a trauma-informed approach to working with people who have experienced various forms of trauma, abuse, and neglect (either within the family or outside the family) earlier on in life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.

Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.
