Over time, disorders such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and more can develop as a result of these cognitive distortions. Below are four examples of cognitive distortions identified in CBT.

  • Individual Therapy
    In most teen treatment centers, individual sessions are offered only once a week. At Innova Joy, teens attend multiple weekly sessions with licensed clinicians. We create specialized treatment plans tailored to the specific constellation of behaviors and co-occurring issues.
  • Parent Support
    You desire a deeper bond and understanding with your teen, but may just not know how to get there. Innova Joy offers coaching and support groups for parents to redefine their relationships with their teens, allowing for improved communication, understanding and trust.
  • Academics
    The academic component of your teen's life is critical to establishing a structured environment. Your child will attend classes daily with a certified teacher to help regain school credits and ensure they are well prepared academically post graduation from our program.
  • Trauma-Focused Treatment
    Trauma is often stored in the body as well as the mind; therefore, we believe in treating the whole person. From animal-assisted therapy to EMDR, we ensure that every aspect of your teen's experience promotes healing and wellness.

For Group Healing From Substance Abuse:

One individual’s addiction can have a significant effect on the entire family. Addiction can take an incredible toll on family members. The anger, worry, and fear oftentimes paralyze families who feel helpless to effectively intervene.

The Family Program at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch is designed to support the family while their loved one is in treatment. Research shows improved long-term recovery and sobriety when families also receive the support they need.

Our Goals:

  • Education about the disease model of addiction
  • Understanding the dynamics of codependency,
    enabling behaviors and setting healthy boundaries
  • Improving communication skills
  • Group and individual therapy sessions
  • Information and exposure to Al-Anon
  • Importance of self-care

Adults: 18+.

The Family Program is by invitation only from the resident.

The cost of the family program is included in the cost of treatment.

La Hacienda enhances the relapsed patient’s potential for long-term sobriety through the specialized and focused treatment of our Relapse Program.

Our experience teaches us that relapse is a process – recognizable, preventable, and treatable. Before the recovering person starts to use alcohol or other drugs again, there is a pattern of behavior that starts with the return of denial and is marked by symptoms of isolation, depression, high levels of stress, and impaired judgment.

La Hacienda’s Relapse Program provides specialized education and process groups that focus on the specific problematic issues the patient is presenting.

Those who have relapsed can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contributed to their relapse and identify future threats to recovery. Patients learn to identify mistaken beliefs about relapse and their justifications and relapse warning signs. They also work through the shame, guilt, and fear associated with having been on the road to recovery and then relapsing.

We have found that many of our patients who have relapsed have lost their focus on the 12 Steps. La Hacienda emphasizes step work and offers assistance to these patients in moving beyond their previous “stuck points”. Patients help develop their own continuing care plans and are encouraged to find counselors and 12-step sponsors who are compatible with relapse prevention concepts.
