Dual Diagnosis Care
Sierra Health + Wellness centers provide dual diagnosis care, which is a treatment approach that addresses both mental health disorders and substance use disorders simultaneously. This integrated treatment is crucial because these conditions often occur together, and treating one without the other can be ineffective. Our dual diagnosis care typically involves a combination of therapy, medication management, counseling, and support groups, tailored to meet the individual’s specific needs. This holistic approach improves overall well-being, reduces the risk of relapse, and promotes long-term recovery. -
Medication Assisted Treatment
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) at Sierra Health + Wellness Centers involves the use of FDA-approved medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to treat substance use disorders. This approach is primarily used to manage addiction to opioids, such as heroin and prescription pain relievers, but it may also be used for alcohol use disorders. The medications used in MAT help to normalize brain chemistry, block the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids, relieve physiological cravings, and stabilize body functions without the negative effects of the abused drugs. Our MAT programs are designed to provide a comprehensive, individualized approach to recovery, supporting both physical and mental health. -
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
At Sierra Health + Wellness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed as a core therapeutic approach. CBT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thoughts and behavior patterns. The goal is to help individuals develop more positive thinking that can lead to healthier behaviors and coping strategies. During our programs, CBT is used to treat a range of issues including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and other mental health disorders. Therapy sessions typically involve working with a therapist to recognize dysfunctional thoughts, understand their effects on emotions and behavior, and learn practical skills to change these thought patterns. This approach helps patients gain better control over their behaviors and emotions, promoting recovery and improving overall mental health -
Brainspotting in California
Brainspotting at Sierra Health and Wellness is a therapeutic method used to help patients process and recover from emotional and psychological trauma. Brainspotting is based on the premise that where you look affects how you feel, and it utilizes the patient’s visual field to find spots that help access unprocessed trauma in the brain. During a Brainspotting session, therapists guide patients to focus on specific eye positions that correlate with these emotional experiences. This process is believed to tap into the body’s natural self-scanning capacity to heal itself, facilitating the identification and processing of underlying trauma. This therapy is often integrated with other treatment modalities to support recovery in individuals dealing with a wide range of psychological issues, including stress, anxiety, and PTSD. -
Trauma Informed Care
Our trauma informed care is about recognizing and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. This approach integrates a thorough understanding of the prevalence and impact of trauma in the lives of individuals seeking help. The core principles of trauma informed care include safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. At Sierra Health + Wellness, our staff is trained to recognize signs of trauma in our clients and to provide care in a way that avoids re-traumatization. The treatment strategies are designed to be sensitive to the trauma experiences of individuals, providing a supportive environment that promotes healing and recovery. This approach ensures that the care plans are not only tailored to treat the symptoms but also address the root causes of distress, facilitating a more effective and comprehensive healing process. -
Relapse Prevention
Relapse prevention at Sierra Health + Wellness is an integral part of our treatment programs, especially for clients recovering from substance use disorders. This strategy involves educating individuals about the dynamics of relapse, helping them to identify and manage triggers, and developing coping skills to maintain sobriety. The approach typically includes cognitive-behavioral techniques to change harmful thought patterns, stress management skills, and lifestyle changes to support recovery. Group therapy and individual counseling are also crucial components, providing a support network and a safe space to discuss challenges and successes. We may also incorporate other supportive measures such as mindfulness, physical wellness activities, and aftercare planning to strengthen each individual’s resilience and ability to live a sober life.
