What is addiction and substance abuse psychiatry?

Substance abuse therapy stands as a cornerstone in the journey toward recovery from addiction. This therapeutic approach unfolds in various forms, each uniquely tailored to support individuals grappling with addiction.

At the heart of addiction psychiatry are three primary modalities: group therapy, family counseling, and individual therapy. Each offers a distinct path to healing and empowerment.

Group therapy fosters a sense of community and shared experience, while family counseling aims to heal and strengthen familial bonds. Individual therapy, however, is where Carencia shines, offering personalized attention and care to address the unique challenges and needs of each person.

Embracing these diverse forms of substance abuse therapy can significantly enhance the effectiveness of any addiction rehabilitation program, providing a multifaceted approach to overcoming addiction.

What does addiction psychiatry look like in practice?

The licensed behavioral therapists at Carencia dedicate themselves to developing a deeper understanding of our patients’ mental health and well-being. We focus on the person’s whole mental health and not just certain aspects of it. Using their own beliefs, behavior, and biology we help craft a therapy plan to help the whole person and enhance their quality of life.

At Carencia we have dedicated ourselves to giving our patients the best mental health support possible. We accomplish this in two ways, with traditional in-office therapy and with online telehealth counseling.

As we mentioned above, there are three core modalities within addiction and substance abuse psychiatry:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

One-on-one therapy helps teach patients to find connections between their thoughts, feelings, and actions and how they can impact their recovery. This is the main therapeutic method utilized by Carencia.

Life Skills

We help you to develop life skills to manage cravings and triggers throughout your day. Our CBT sessions focus on your thoughts and feelings to recognize, avoid, and cope to help break the cycle of negative thoughts and behavior. This will help put you on the path to breaking free of addiction and start you on the path to recovery.

Medication Assistance

Carencia uses medication-assisted treatment for treating addiction. Our addiction recovery programs are a two-headed approach. We help treat the physical responses with medicine while working to help learn skills to overcome addiction in sessions with our nurse practitioners.

Our Success Stories

I started seeing Jesse back when they were under another name. It’s probably 6 or 7 years ago. Now that they’ve grown and have become CARENCIA, my treatment has never wavered. Though my addiction to opiates brought me to Carencia, my treatment extends beyond that. My treatment started with Jesse (..sometimes Joe), and now Sarah; what I’ve learned more than anything else is how committed the team is to their patients. Their drive for excellence in patient care and treatment is nothing short of honorable.
Thanks, Carencia!

Joseph has been a pleasure to work with and has provided me with the help I needed to get back on my feet. After working with him I feel like I am in a much better place and life has gotten easier. I would recommend Carencia for all their great work and couldn’t thank the team enough for the help they have provided me!

Christopher C.

I am a psychotherapist that has been working in the industry for 12 years, and Carencia is a standout! The level of collaboration and added consultation time, (with the clients I have referred to Jesse and team), has truly been phenomenal. When referring clients to providers for medication management, the process can often be tough, and communication between the psychiatrist/psychiatric provider and myself, can be very difficult (to say the least). With this practice, the personalized approach, and time spent with my clients to answer all questions, keep everyone informed, and provide the highest quality of care is very unique. Jesse Tucker and Carencia Mental Health are my #1 choice for referrals!!

Yancy Grimes

I would give more stars if I could. Their service is so easy to use, appointments, availability, communication, use of their virtual app. They make it simple. I have never had any issues. I have been a patient of Katie Kesterson for 2 years and she is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend them.
