Upon admission in Seaglass at Royal Life Centers, each guest completes an in-depth clinical assessment that gives our team of addiction specialists a better understanding of the unique biological, social, and psychological factors that influence the individual’s substance use. Our clinical staff then collaborate with each guest to develop an individualized treatment plan (ISP) designed to make the recovery process as uncomplicated and effective as possible. 

We provide a range of holistic and evidence-based therapies, which we then tailor to the unique needs of our guests within their ISP. Our therapies are meant to be intensive by nature, given the subject matter and duration of therapy sessions— we seek to uncover the root causes, core beliefs, and internal dialogues that keep our guests from reaching their full-potential in a life of sobriety.

Our women’s program at Seaglass offers therapeutic sessions on both an individual and small-group level.

Therapies offered at Seaglass include:

• Individual Therapy
• Group Therapy
• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy
• Trauma Therapy
• Activity Therapy
• Adventure Therapy
• Equine Therapy

At Seaglass, we’re committed to providing the highest quality treatment for all of the women in our care. With these treatments, our guests receive the tools that they need to grow and thrive in recovery.

Group Therapy

How do a woman’s beliefs and behaviors contribute to her dependence on drugs and alcohol? More importantly, what beliefs and behaviors would create a life of freedom, community, joy and peace? At Seaglass, group therapy is where recovering women collaborate to examine, explore and ultimately change their perceptions and patterns of behavior.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

In CBT therapy, the women in our care learn to identify, challenge, and change unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. Female guests work with their therapist to recognize false narratives that clutter their thoughts, leading them down a rabbit hole of  irrational thoughts, overwhelming emotions, and unwanted behaviors. Together, the guest and her therapist brainstorm alternative, positive thought patterns and practice healthy coping skills to bring about change.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Women often face rejection and barriers that may drain them of energy to fight back against their pain. DBT therapists provide the validation and acceptance many women need to rebuild their sense of self-motivation during early recovery. Our guests also learn how to challenge rigid thinking patterns that have been beaten into the minds of women by society, allowing them to reject irrational expectations and embrace realistic, beneficial goals for recovery.

Trauma Therapy

To help lessen the impact of untreated trauma on our female guests as they enter early recovery, Seaglass provides trauma therapy sessions. Our licensed trauma therapists guide our female guests as they work through past traumatic events, helping them instill healthy coping skills to help them overcome feelings of fear and doubt if and when triggers occur.

Activity Therapy

Activity therapies are geared toward to act of self-expression, teaching our female guests healthy ways to communicate their feelings and challenge their emotions through healthy, creative activities. Within our programs, guests are offer creative arts courses such as writing, drawing, music and dance that encourage them to showcase their true self – their story, thoughts, and emotions.

Adventure Therapy

While participating in adventure therapy, women work together as a team to conquer the wilderness and take back their power in recovery. Adventure activities are structured so that our guests are immersed in nature as they participate in outdoor group games and wilderness expeditions, leaning on each other and taking the initiative to power through challenges until they reach their goals, ultimately cultivating self-pride, trust, and motivation. As they work through experiences that engage their problem solving skills, the women in adventure therapy naturally regain their physical, social, and psychological health.

Equine Therapy

As part of our aftercare program, we encourage all of our guests to participate in equine-assisted therapy (EAT). Guests in equine therapy interact with horses as a form of animal-assisted therapy. These sessions can include petting, grooming, feeding, caring for, or leading horses. While caring for their horses, guests to be more in tune with their actions and emotions through the horses responses. In fact, equine therapy has been shown to promote emotional growth due to the horses ability to mirror human emotion— guests learn to gauge the impact of their demeanor, making them more in tune with their actions and emotions.
