In 12-step facilitation, individuals participate in meetings modeled after the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous or similar fellowships. These meetings provide a supportive environment where individuals share their experiences, receive encouragement, and work through the steps of recovery with the guidance of a facilitator. Sessions typically involve group discussions, readings from recovery literature, and sharing personal stories of addiction and recovery. The focus is on surrendering to the addiction, seeking support from a higher power or fellowship, and making amends to oneself and others.

Motivational interviewing is a client-centered approach that focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence toward change. In motivational interviewing sessions, therapists use open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations to help individuals clarify their goals, values, and reasons for change. The therapist collaborates with the client to identify potential barriers to change and develop a plan for achieving their goals. Motivational interviewing sessions are typically structured around four key principles: expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, rolling with resistance, and supporting self-efficacy. The therapist works to evoke the client’s motivation for change rather than imposing it from the outside.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with addiction. In CBT sessions, individuals learn to recognize triggers for substance use, challenge irrational beliefs about addiction, and develop coping strategies to manage cravings and avoid relapse. Therapists may use various techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, and role-playing to help clients develop more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving. CBT sessions are typically structured, goal-oriented, and involve homework assignments to practice skills learned in therapy.

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) incorporates mindfulness meditation and awareness practices to help individuals cultivate present-moment awareness and cope with stressors without turning to substances. In MBSR sessions, individuals learn mindfulness techniques such as meditation, body scanning, and mindful movement to develop a non-judgmental awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Therapists guide participants through various mindfulness exercises and encourage them to apply mindfulness principles to everyday life, including managing cravings and coping with difficult emotions. MBSR can be delivered in a group format or individually and is often integrated into comprehensive addiction treatment programs.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness techniques with strategies for promoting psychological flexibility and values-based living. In ACT sessions, individuals learn to accept difficult thoughts and emotions without judgment while committing to actions aligned with their values and goals. Therapists help clients identify their core values and develop strategies for taking meaningful action in line with those values, even in the face of discomfort or uncertainty. ACT sessions may involve mindfulness exercises, experiential activities, metaphors, and role-playing to facilitate acceptance and commitment to change. ACT emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, acceptance, and willingness to experience discomfort as part of the journey to recovery.

Individual and group therapy are common modalities used in addiction treatment to provide support, education, and skill-building. In individual therapy, clients work one-on-one with a therapist to explore personal issues, set goals, and develop strategies for coping with addiction. Therapy sessions may focus on topics such as trauma, family dynamics, co-occurring mental health disorders, and relapse prevention.

Group therapy brings together individuals with similar experiences to share support, insights, and encouragement in a structured setting facilitated by a therapist. Group therapy sessions may include psychoeducation, skill-building exercises, process-oriented discussions, and peer support. Both individual and group therapy offer valuable opportunities for self-reflection, interpersonal connection, and personal growth in the context of alcohol treatment and addiction recovery.
