CAYA Clinic offers individual and
group therapy, moderation management, and access to harm reduction supplies. Their therapeutic approaches include dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy,
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), prolonged exposure (PE), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic approaches to trauma. Additionally, CAYA offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with Journey Clinical, targeting conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, chronic pain, and substance use disorders.
CAYA, short for "Come As You Are," emphasizes a non-judgmental, client-centered approach that prioritizes individual autonomy. They welcome all individuals, regardless of health insurance status, and emphasize serving historically marginalized communities through a sliding fee scale. CAYA’s mission focuses on reducing drug-related harms, preventing overdose, and empowering clients through evidence-based harm reduction therapy techniques.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like CAYA Clinic provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
