Our Philosophy on Recovery
At Alternative Counseling – Kent, we believe that successful recovery hinges on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Our programs integrate evidence-based therapeutic modalities with holistic practices.

This comprehensive approach ensures clients develop robust coping mechanisms and a strong foundation for a life free from dependency.
Key Program Components
Our treatment structure includes several tiers of care, allowing clients to transition smoothly as they progress in their recovery. Services are delivered by licensed professionals who specialize in addiction and behavioral health.
- Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): Designed for individuals who require structured therapy and accountability but can live at home and maintain work or family commitments. Sessions typically occur several days a week for a few hours.
- Outpatient Counseling: Provides ongoing support through weekly individual and group therapy sessions, ideal for those transitioning from IOP or those with less severe dependency issues.
- Individual Therapy: Personalized sessions utilizing modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to explore personal triggers and develop tailored relapse prevention plans.
- Group Counseling: Offers a supportive community setting where clients can share experiences, practice new social skills, and receive peer feedback in a safe environment.
