Clinical Services
Miramar Health provides superior evidence-based addiction treatment programs. Our staff can treat both the psychological and physical aspects of a substance use disorder (SUD). These services provide our patients with essential recovery tools and a new lease on life. Each one is tailored to meet a variety of lifestyles and circumstances. No two recovery journeys are the same, and our clinical services reflect that.
EMDR
EMDR therapy is a phased approach to treating trauma and other symptoms by reconnecting the traumatized person in a safe and measured way to images, self-thoughts, emotions, and body sensations that are associated with trauma.
This allows them to naturally heal and move towards
adaptive resolutions. At Miramar Health, EMDR is utilized to address a broad variety of challenges that
include, but are not limited to:
- Substance Abuse Disorders
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Bipolar
- PTSD
Relapse Prevention
Each veteran struggling with substance abuse and addiction is exposed to the goal of reducing and eliminating their substance abuse. This is done by implementing relapse prevention. This gradual process assists the veteran in:
- Identifying the early stages of change
- Process personal growth
- Identify triggers and risks associated with their substance abuse
- Recognize healthy coping tools they can begin to utilize towards maintaining their goal of sobriety
Trauma
Trauma can have a significant influence on the development of substance abuse. Sequentially, substance abuse also enhances the probability of a veteran being re-traumatized as they participate in high-risk behavior, reducing their ability to cope with thoughts connected to trauma. Through the implementation of Trauma-Informed Care, the veteran can apply principles of:
- Safety
- Choice
- Collaboration
- Trustworthiness
- Empowerment
The Social Model
The Social Model intends to address and eradicate barriers that prevent veterans from participating in society and living independently. Miramar Health’s Residential Program is built to help veterans:
- Become proactive toward building a safe network
- Identify healthy interests
- Prepare them to launch back into life absent of substance abuse and addiction.
