Specialty Areas of Focus

Drug and Alcohol Addiction Therapy

Substance use disorder often begins as a way to cope with stress, trauma, or difficult emotions but can quickly spiral into dependence. At Portland Treatment, our drug and alcohol addiction therapy programs help clients address the root causes of substance use while building tools for long-term recovery.

Key components include:

• Detox Integration – Therapy begins during or immediately after medical detox, ensuring that clients have emotional support as their bodies stabilize.
• Evidence-Based Approaches – Our clinicians use therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help clients identify triggers and change harmful thought patterns.
  Relapse Prevention – Clients learn to anticipate high-risk situations and practice coping strategies to reduce the risk of relapse.
• Dual Diagnosis Treatment – For those with co-occurring mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, therapy integrates both conditions into one treatment plan.
• Family Support – Drug and alcohol misuse can deeply affect loved ones. Family therapy helps rebuild trust and fosters accountability.

Drug and alcohol therapy at Portland Treatment is not one-size-fits-all—it is personalized, trauma-informed, and designed to guide individuals through the emotional, psychological, and relational layers of recovery.

Sex Addiction Therapy

Unhealthy sexual behaviors can be both a cause and effect of substance use disorder. Our sex addiction therapy program addresses compulsive behaviors, shame cycles, and relational harm in a safe, nonjudgmental environment.

Porn Addiction Therapy

Porn addiction can disrupt relationships, concentration, and emotional health. We provide targeted therapy to help individuals retrain thought patterns, rebuild intimacy, and learn healthier coping strategies.

Gambling Addiction Therapy

Many clients battling alcohol or drug addiction also struggle with gambling. We use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and financial counseling support to address the impulse control issues and high relapse risks of gambling addiction.

Couples Addiction Therapy

Substance use impacts not only individuals but also their partners. Couples therapy at Portland Treatment helps repair relationships through:

• Rebuilding trust
• Learning healthy communication
• Setting boundaries that support recovery
