The Clinical Toolkit

Six therapies, one integrated program.

Each modality is delivered by licensed clinicians within a structured daily program. Patients typically engage with three to five of these during a single episode of care — selected by clinical indication, not menu.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Individual · Skills-Based

The most-studied psychotherapy for substance use disorder. Targets the thought patterns that fuel relapse and builds the cognitive flexibility needed to navigate triggers.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy Individual + Group · Emotion Regulation

Developed for high-distress, high-reactivity presentations. Teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness — four skills directly relevant to recovery.

Group Therapy Process · Psycho-Ed · Skills

Four structured groups daily. Process groups for lived experience, psycho-educational groups for addiction science, skills groups for coping practice.

Family Therapy Family Systems · Structured Weekends

Substance use is a family condition. Structured family sessions repair communication, clarify boundaries, and rebuild trust — with interventionist Jake Kiernan available as a resource.

Complementary practices that support clinical therapy — never replace it. Daily movement, nutrition work, meditation, and mindfulness to rebuild the body that substance use depleted.

How Therapies Integrate

Therapy is the program, not an add-on.

At Pines, therapy isn’t scheduled around treatment — therapy is treatment. The clinical day is built around it: individual sessions in the morning, group blocks through the afternoon, family programming on weekends, MAT titration woven through by our medical team.

Modality selection is clinical, not menu-driven. Your therapist and psychiatrist choose the combination that fits the diagnosis, history, and stage of recovery in front of them.

Therapies — FAQ

Common questions, answered plainly.

Do I get to choose which therapies I receive?+
Therapy selection is a clinical decision made by your therapist and psychiatrist based on diagnosis, history, and presentation. Patients are active partners in that decision — but we don’t hand out a menu. Evidence-based matching produces better outcomes than patient-directed selection.
How many therapy hours per week?+
Residential patients typically engage in 25–30 hours of structured clinical programming per week: individual therapy, group therapy, family programming, psycho-education, and wellness. Detox patients have a lighter load because the priority is medical stabilization.
Is EMDR or trauma therapy offered?+
Trauma is addressed within CBT and DBT frameworks by clinicians with trauma training — including our lead therapist Travis Gray (LMHC, CAP, LPC). Deep trauma processing is typically sequenced for after acute stabilization; attempting it during withdrawal is contraindicated.
Are therapists licensed?+
Yes. Our clinical team holds Florida licensure and credentials including LMHC, LCSW, LPN, CAP, and LPC. Our medical director, Sergey Litvinov, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist. Staff bios are on our team page.
Does insurance cover all these therapies?+
Yes — therapies delivered within medically necessary detox and residential care are covered by every major carrier we accept (BCBS, UHC, Aetna, Cigna, Tricare, Humana Military, VA CCN). Under Mental Health Parity, behavioral health benefits must match medical/surgical benefits.
