Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) at Banyan Treatment Centers
Each client receives a customized treatment plan that includes a custom therapy approach that best suits that individual. We provide interpersonal therapy for those who suffer from a mental health disorder or even those with a dual-diagnosis. While interpersonal therapy is most widely known to treat depression, this approach has also been proven to effectively treat addiction as well as an eating disorder.
For those who suffer from depression or other mood disorders, IPT effectively reduces common symptoms of that disorder through treatment. This approach is centered on the idea that relationships with people and how we interact with others considerably impact our mental health. During treatment, an individual has the opportunity to build their social skills to enhance interpersonal relationships in their life. You will be able to get to the root of your emotions during therapy and find the necessary skills needed to solve problems. Helping individuals understand the underlying issues behind certain depression symptoms really allows people to heal and to increase their happiness. At Banyan's Nationwide Treatment Centers, our clients learn how to resolve and repair relationships so that their mental health can increase.
What to Expect During Treatment
A therapist works with an individual to help identify the interpersonal factors that may be associated with their disorder and they find ways to overcome the issue. By assessing the symptoms of a mental health disorder alongside the relationships in that person’s life, a therapist can help that individual strengthen the interpersonal skills needed to successfully lessen the symptoms of their disorder. Many people may not realize that their mental health can be affected by the relationships surrounding them and the conflicts that arise from negative ones. There are many benefits to interpersonal therapy that include building a client’s confidence, strengthening communication skills, and identifying ways to solve current and future problems.
This approach focuses on improving current relationships as well as giving individuals the tools needed to solve conflicts with friends and family members. IPT has been known to decrease depression symptoms once treatment is completed and at Banyan Detox Center, we teach our clients how to handle certain future situations that they may not have known how to react in the past. It’s important to not dwell on past failed relationships. Rather, our therapists work on strengthening current ones to improve an individual’s social skills and this is a great way to move past any negativity. Treating a mental health disorder or addiction requires a treatment plan that can include many different treatment methods and the interpersonal therapy approach may be right for you.
If you or a loved one is suffering from a mental health disorder or a substance abuse disorder, entering a treatment program that is truly customized will increase the chances of a successful recovery. Banyan offers unique therapy methods as well as detox programs for all who suffer. Contact our detox center today to learn how we can help.
