Therapy programs in Louisville, KY
Therapy at Cedar Grove Recovery
Therapy is where the lasting work of recovery happens. Our programs are built around you rather than a template — your therapy might sit inside residential treatment, run alongside outpatient care, or continue as aftercare.
Every approach below is evidence-based and delivered by licensed clinicians. Which combination fits is a clinical decision made with you, not handed to you.
Therapy programs
-
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
CBT works on the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. In addiction treatment it's used to identify the thought patterns that drive use and build practical alternatives.

Addiction affects everyone around it. Family therapy brings the people closest to you into the work — repairing communication and building the support that recovery depends on.

Group therapy
Structured sessions with people working through the same thing. Group work is where a lot of the real change happens: shared accountability, and the recognition that you aren't the only one.

One-to-one sessions with a clinician, focused on your history, your triggers, and your goals. It's where the private work gets done.
