Our Approach to Therapy

Integrated Multimodal approach to addiction treatment

Here at SDR, we understand that therapy cannot be a “one size fits all” approach. Mental health and addiction are made up of multiple factors, so why should your treatment be any different? We combine different approaches and techniques into a customised, evidence-based blend to suit your concerns, personality, and communication style. You are our priority.

Daily Counselling

Daily counselling is a cornerstone of our approach. Understanding the origins of your mental health challenges or addiction is critical to understanding how to recover from and move past them. We work with you to uncover when and why it all began, how it developed, who and what feeds it, and what you can do to change and reclaim your life.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on the psychosocial aspects of treatment. It is used to treat severe and chronic disorders, including substance use disorder.

Family and Couples Therapy

Substance abuse doesn’t only affect the individual struggling with addiction, but also their family and partners. Involving family and significant others in therapy can help address relational issues related to the addiction and improve the effectiveness of the treatment.

Mindfulness-Based Therapies

Techniques such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them. This can be particularly useful for managing cravings, anxiety, ADHD, and reducing the risk of relapse.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT focuses on finding solutions in the present time and exploring one’s hope for the future to find quicker resolution of one’s problems. This approach assumes that the patient is the expert and helps them to construct a concrete vision of a preferred future for themselves.

For individuals seeking gambling help in Sydney, Sydney Detox and Rehab provides personalised counselling and practical therapeutic support to help clients identify achievable goals and build healthier pathways forward.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT uses strategies of mindfulness, acceptance of emotional experience, and commitment to personal values to help individuals overcome substance abuse.

Narrative Therapy

This approach helps individuals to reframe their life story in a more positive light, which can help them to overcome obstacles such as substance abuse.

Spiritual or existential questions
For some clients addressing spiritual or existential questions might be significant for their progress.

Adjunct Therapies

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training therapy that helps strengthen the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for executive functions such as decision making, self-control, and emotional regulation.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EDMR)

This is a form of exposure therapy that helps people to reduce and eliminate the distress they feel when recalling certain past experiences.

Clients move their eyes in a pattern that mimics REM sleep eye movements while reprocessing distressing or traumatic experiences with an EMDR practitioner. It has proven to be effective for people who experience various conditions such as PTSD and other trauma disorders, and disorders including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders (e.g. bulimia, anorexia and binge eating), and personality disorders.

Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy

involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room, which increases the amount of oxygen carried by the blood. This therapy can aid in the recovery of the prefrontal cortex and other sections of the brain damaged by substance abuse, promoting neurogenesis and improving cognitive function

Yoga

Yoga is a powerful adjunct therapy that can help balance the body and mind.

Massage

Massage therapy is a useful adjunct therapy that can help reduce stress, relieve physical discomfort, and promote relaxation

Personal Trainer

Regular physical activity is a critical aspect of recovery. It can help reduce cravings, improve mood, boost energy levels, and promote better sleep.

Sound Therapy

Sound therapy utilizes the healing power of sound frequencies to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
