Mariners Inn addresses addiction by providing a comprehensive and holistic approach. Their treatment includes a combination of individual counseling,
group therapy, and evidence-based practices like
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT). They focus on long-term recovery by addressing the root causes of addiction, including trauma, mental health disorders, and homelessness. The programs also emphasize life skills training, job readiness, and family reunification, helping men rebuild their lives and re-enter society.
In addition to substance use disorders, Mariners Inn offers specialized treatment for gambling addiction. This program involves individual therapy sessions, group support, and education on gambling behaviors and triggers. Therapy is centered on helping individuals understand the emotional and psychological aspects of their gambling addiction, while also teaching coping strategies to prevent relapse. The program is integrated into their broader addiction treatment services to ensure comprehensive care for those affected by multiple forms of addiction.
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 Mariners Inn provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
