Therapies, Programs & Treatment Approaches at Forever Wellness and Recovery
12-Step Facilitation
At Forever Wellness and Recovery, we help people stop using drugs and alcohol by guiding them through a 12-step program. This program is a kind of help called 12-step facilitation therapy. It's a way to change behavior by encouraging people to join and stay active in the program. The idea is that addiction is a long-term sickness that affects a person's body, mind, and spirit. By following the 12 steps, someone can deal with all these parts of the illness.
In Shreveport, Louisiana, joining a 12-step program means you get to meet others who are also working hard to stay away from drugs and alcohol. Together, everyone supports each other to stay on the path to staying sober. At Forever Wellness and Recovery, we believe this support is an important part of getting better.
Anger Management
When you let anger go unchecked, it can affect every part of your life. You might find yourself having sudden outbursts, acting in ways that don't make sense, or even feeling violent or very sad. Some people even think about hurting themselves. But there’s good news: there are ways to get help with managing anger. You can talk to mental health experts who know a lot about this, and they can work with you either while you stay at a place for treatment or while you live at home and just go for visits. If anger is a big problem for you, finding the right kind of help and learning how to handle it better can really turn things around.
Group Counseling
At Forever Wellness and Recovery in Shreveport, Louisiana, group therapy is a way for people to get help from a therapist while sharing the experience with others. In these groups, which usually have 5 to 20 people, members often have similar issues they are working through. This could be a certain problem they all face or a tough event they have all gone through. Group therapy happens both where people stay for treatment and where they visit just for the therapy session.
In group therapy here in Shreveport, Louisiana, everyone talks together about a topic or a challenge they're dealing with. A trained therapist leads these talks. Sometimes the therapist will guide the conversation in a certain direction, and they might have a plan or topic ready for each time the group meets. This helps everyone in the group learn from each other and get better together.
Individual Counseling
Individual therapy is a kind of counseling where one person talks with a therapist by themselves. At Forever Wellness and Recovery in Shreveport, Louisiana, this kind of therapy uses different ways to help people who are trying to get better from addiction.

Relapse Prevention
Going back to using drugs or alcohol after you've finished treatment for addiction is called a relapse. Many people who are working to overcome addictions might relapse at some time. If this happens, it doesn't mean you've failed. It just means you might need more help to stay on the path to staying clean for your whole life. Here at Forever Wellness and Recovery in Shreveport, Louisiana, we have relapse prevention therapy. This will teach you about why relapse happens, what makes you want to use again, and how to keep it from happening.
