Trauma & Substance Abuse Recovery in Stuart
We also understand how trauma often intersects with substance use, anxiety, or depression—so our programs offer holistic continuity of care without unnecessary overlap.
At Harmony Treatment and Wellness, your healing journey is supported every step of the way through personalized treatment, group sessions, and continuous aftercare planning. Let us help you break free from PTSD and addiction’s hold and rediscover emotional well-being.
Harmony Treatment and Wellness can help you reach sobriety by finding a level of care that matches the intensity of the challenges you are facing.
The levels of care we offer at our Stuart recovery center include:
- Detoxification
- Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
- Intensive Hospitalization Programs (IOP)
- Outpatient Programs (OP)
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
- Mental Health Treatment
Each program level lessens in intensity as you progress toward sobriety and learn how to address the emotional and psychological conditions that form the root of trauma and addiction.
At our drug detox center, the goal is to address intoxication or withdrawal by medically guiding you through the withdrawal process.
Detox is a process to remove toxins and manage uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms safely. Withdrawal symptoms can sometimes lead to serious complications, but a medical detox program can help you avoid these complications.
A detoxification program has three goals:
- Evaluation
- Stabilization
- Transition into treatment
When you arrive at Harmony’s drug detox center, we will evaluate you so we know how to best address your detox needs.
Often this starts with creating a treatment plan that will carry you through other levels of care once you are stabilized and ready to transition. Detox can last three to seven days.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the most intensive level of care you can receive at a drug and alcohol rehab program without participating in inpatient or residential treatment.
PHP includes a full day of clinical treatment and activities meant to address different aspects of recovery. You can expect to encounter group and individual therapy, 12-step groups, and a variety of alternative therapies that we use to craft a holistic approach.
At Harmony Treatment and Wellness recovery center, we also provide a living center, so you have a safe, supervised place to live and relax after the program has concluded for that day.
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a step down from a PHP in terms of intensity. Instead of spending all day in a highly structured routine, you will have a program for three hours in the morning or the evening, depending on your work or school schedule.
IOP is an appropriate level of care if you have completed residential or inpatient treatment or a PHP and you need to begin transitioning back into the responsibilities of work or school. It is also a good choice if a standard outpatient program isn’t helping you.
Just as with a PHP, IOPs at Harmony Treatment and Wellness take you through several therapeutic models, including alternative therapies, and gives you access to life skills training and case management.
Outpatient and aftercare services mark the final step of addiction treatment. While outpatient treatment does involve some counseling on group and individual levels, it also focuses on substance abuse education and relapse prevention.
As the level of care that finalizes your transition back into your community, the outpatient program at Harmony Treatment and Wellness continues life skills and motivational training and therapy for co-occurring mental health disorders.
It also offers practical services by helping you find a job and sort through legal issues that you may have encountered. In the outpatient program, you meet weekly as part of a group for an hour in the evening.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a feature of the Harmony Treatment and Wellness addiction rehab because, when prescribed and used safely, it is an effective treatment for opioid and alcohol addiction.
MAT is the use of medication to help people facing addiction cope with withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Medications used in this kind of treatment include:
- Naltrexone
- Vivitrol
- Suboxone
When used along with PHP, IOP, or OP levels of care, MAT gives you a break from cravings. This way, you can use that time to build up tools and strategies for when your MAT is finished.
Doctors prescribe these medications and monitor their use so you have the help you need in a safe and controlled environment. MAT at Harmony lasts between one and six months.
Dual diagnosis care is the treatment of both a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder. By addressing the mental health disorder through therapy, you have the opportunity to learn how to take care of mental and behavioral health issues in a healthy and positive way.
At our treatment facility, dual diagnosis treatment begins with PHP when you have a reliable routine in a safe, structured, and caring community to help you sort through these issues.
Types of Trauma & PTSD Treatment in Stuart
At Harmony in the Stuart and Port St. Lucie areas, therapy lays the foundation for recovery for you or a loved one.
Several different therapeutic models are available for PTSD treatments, many of which therapists will also use for addiction recovery if you have a co-occurring substance use disorder.
CBT is a common form of therapy that therapists can apply to a number of situations and disorders. PTSD is just one of those disorders. Others include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance use disorders
- Eating disorders
- ADHD
- Marital problems
- Severe mental illness
CBT addresses the unhelpful thought and behavior patterns of disorders like PTSD, teaching you to change those unhelpful patterns and learn positive ways to cope.
In individual therapy at Harmony Treatment and Wellness, you meet alone with a therapist and talk about the root of your trauma & PTSD and what you can do to overcome it.
Individual therapy is based on a relationship of trust with your therapist that you build in a safe and confidential setting. Your therapist uses principles based on CBT to help you uncover issues that you may not have addressed.
This kind of therapy will typically last through all levels of care at Harmony and involves “homework” where your therapist gives you things to practice when you are not in session.
The goal of family counseling at Harmony Treatment and Wellness is to work through conflict that may have developed in your family as a result of trauma & PTSD.
Family relationships can become strained when a family member is facing a trauma response resulting from PTSD. Whether it’s with your mom and dad or your wife and children, family therapy seeks to bring conflict out into the open and resolve it in positive ways.
In a safe setting, you have a chance to share what you have gone through in the course of your traumatic event or events. Family members also have the chance to share how your trauma responses have affected them. And everyone can learn to identify negative feelings and how to move forward.
Sometimes people can turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with past trauma. This is why rehab centers like Harmony take time to help you address past trauma and identify triggers that bring up feelings associated with it.
The techniques you learn in trauma therapy include how to:
- Re-evaluate beliefs that you have taken for granted
- Increase your confidence
- Decrease flashbacks
- Connect underlying memories to current feelings
- Recognize triggers
- Learn how to self-soothe
Group therapy connects you to a community of people who are also facing PTSD. As you share your story with others in a group setting, you gain motivation from their stories and contribute to their understanding.
At Harmony, we utilize group therapy to encourage healthy social interactions, help everyone address unhealthy habits and behaviors, and create accountability.
Alternative therapy describes experiential therapies that exist outside of clinical or evidence-based therapies.
Alternative therapy includes the following:
- Adventure therapy: helps you build higher self-esteem by participating in adventurous activities like kayaking or rock climbing.
- Mindfulness meditation: a practice that enables you to find peace through becoming aware of your feelings and accepting them without judgment.
- Yoga therapy: teaches you how to use guided imagery, meditation, and better breathing and posture to create a sense of groundedness.
- Wellness therapy: holistic approach to healthcare that includes relapse prevention, healthy eating, and developing good sleep routines.
- Music therapy: involves listening to music chosen by a trained music therapist that helps you reduce anxiety.
