At NuLife Behavioral Health Illinois, we understand that everyone’s journey toward mental health recovery is unique. Our trained therapists use evidence-based strategies like psychotherapy and medication management to help you understand your condition, develop coping mechanisms, and work toward recovery.

Evidence-based Approaches in Mental Health Treatment

Among the proven therapeutic methods we use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Extensive research has found that these techniques effectively manage certain psychological conditions. Our skilled clinicians use these strategies to help clients navigate their healing process.

One-on-One Individual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions with a qualified mental health professional help explore the psychological factors contributing to your addiction. Techniques such as mindfulness and stress management are often employed to help you gain better control over your impulses and reactions.

Group Support Sessions

In group therapy, you can share experiences and coping strategies with others who are going through similar struggles. Peer support is a crucial element in long-term recovery. Topics covered often include life skills training, emotional well-being, and strategies for maintaining sobriety.

Family Involvement

Including family members in the recovery process can offer a robust support network. The focus is often on enhancing interpersonal skills and fostering a supportive home environment.

Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders

We offer specialized treatment plans for those grappling with additional mental health issues alongside addiction. This holistic approach treats both the addiction and any accompanying mental health challenges, offering a more comprehensive recovery path.

Intensive Outpatient Options

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is an option for those who have completed more intensive treatment, such as partial hospitalization or require a more flexible schedule. The intensive outpatient program combines individual and group therapy sessions, educational groups, and relapse prevention modules. IOP lasts 2-3 hours a day, 2 to 3 days a week.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

NuLife Behavioral Health’s partial hospitalization program is an excellent option for those who have completed an inpatient rehab or detox but still need the daily support and structure of treatment. PHP requires more time than our other outpatient services—approximately 4 to 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Like intensive outpatient participants, persons in partial hospitalization will go home in the evening.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). TMS is a non-invasive, research-supported treatment approved by the FDA for use with depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and several other mental health disorders. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses powerful, focused magnetic fields to stimulate groups of nerves within the brain that are underactive or inactive. TMS sessions take place on an outpatient basis and require no downtime. A person can have a TMS session and return to their daily routine immediately.

Strategies for Preventing Relapse

We integrate various techniques to prevent a return to substance use into every aspect of our treatment regimen. Methods often include relaxation techniques, coping skills for handling triggers, and strategies for maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

Evidence-Based Therapies

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Cognitive behavioral therapy is instrumental in helping you recognize and change harmful thoughts and actions that fuel your addiction. Practical coping mechanisms for handling stressors and temptations are a key focus.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) excels in aiding those with co-occurring disorders by honing emotional management and social skills. It blends cognitive techniques with mindfulness practices, enabling you to navigate emotional challenges and make wiser choices.
  • Experiential Therapy. Through activities like dramatization, guided visualization, and artistic expression, this therapy allows you to confront hidden feelings and past traumas. It complements other scientifically supported techniques to offer a well-rounded treatment experience.
  • Motivational Interviewing. This technique bolsters your innate desire for positive change. It’s especially beneficial for those who are hesitant or unsure about treatment, helping to clarify uncertainties and set the stage for transformation.
  • 12-Step Facilitation. This model encourages active participation in 12-step programs, known for their effectiveness in sustaining long-term sobriety. Although not a conventional therapy, its foundational principles mesh well with other proven therapeutic approaches, offering community support and a systematic path to recovery.

Outpatient Mental Health Treatment

Outpatient counseling’s main advantage is flexibility. You can schedule sessions at times that work best for you. This approach promotes independence and allows clients to practice the coping strategies they learn in individual therapy in the real world. Along with individual treatment, clients can also benefit from group therapy with a supportive community. Outpatient counseling can also be more affordable than residential treatment programs.
