ART Therapy for Mental Health Treatment in Atlanta, GA

Introducing Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a cutting-edge option available for those looking to address difficult memories and emotions. ART provides a supportive and structured environment where individuals can work through issues like post-traumatic stress, phobias, and substance use, paving the way for lasting mental wellness.

How Accelerated Resolution Therapy Works

ART is a form of psychotherapy that blends several proven therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement methods. Its unique features include:

• The use of rapid eye movements to process memories
• A focus on changing how distressing memories are stored in the brain
• The ability to work through trauma without sharing every detail of past events

This approach allows people to process emotional distress efficiently and effectively, often leading to noticeable improvements in a short period of time.

Core Techniques of ART

ART relies on several structured methods to help individuals heal from psychological trauma and emotional pain:

These techniques are often combined with motivational interviewing and other therapy tools, making ART a time-efficient and effective option for those seeking recovery from trauma and related issues.

The Benefits of Accelerated Resolution Therapy

ART offers several key advantages for those seeking mental health support:

• Faster Symptom Relief: Many guests experience positive changes after just a few sessions.
• Privacy and Control: Clients can process memories without sharing every detail.
• Versatility: ART is effective for trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and more.
• Complementary Care: ART can be used alongside other therapies for comprehensive healing.

By targeting the emotional roots of distress, ART helps guests achieve greater emotional stability, improved self-esteem, and relief from troubling symptoms.

What to Expect During ART Sessions

A typical ART session at Thoroughbred Wellness and Recovery includes:

• Assessment: Therapist learns about the guest’s background and goals
• Preparation: ART techniques are explained and questions are answered
• Eye Movements: Client recalls troubling events while following guided eye movements
• Image Replacement: Therapist helps guest replace negative images with positive ones
• Integration: Client practices holding onto new, positive images
• Follow-Up: Therapist checks in to monitor progress and provide ongoing support

Clients benefit from the expertise of licensed professionals and the option for family therapy and medication support, ensuring a comprehensive approach to healing.

ART vs. Other Therapy Approaches

ART stands out from traditional therapies because it focuses on rapid symptom relief and privacy. Unlike talk therapies that require detailed discussion of traumatic events, ART enables guests to process memories internally, with the therapist guiding the process. 

This collaborative and guest-centered approach makes ART accessible for those who may find it difficult to talk about their trauma.

ART is also available for trauma survivors and those living with other mental health conditions, providing a safe and effective path to recovery.

Our Treatment Programs

Medical Detoxification: Recovery usually kicks off with medical detox. Here, people can manage withdrawal symptoms safely, with round-the-clock medical supervision.

We help you move smoothly into your program once detox wraps up. This step tackles the physical side of alcohol dependence and gets you ready for the next phase—therapy.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) gives structured, intensive care during the day. Think of it as a bridge between inpatient treatment and lighter outpatient options.

PHP lays down a solid recovery foundation while letting guests start stepping back into daily life. It’s a good fit for folks coming out of residential treatment or anyone who needs strong support but doesn’t need to stay overnight.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Thoroughbred is built for flexibility. It’s for people juggling work, school, or family while still needing treatment.

IOP usually means several therapy sessions each week. Clients build coping skills and resilience for long-term recovery. It’s a great next step after PHP, or a starting point if that’s what your assessment calls for.

Outpatient Treatment: If you need ongoing support but not as much intensity, Thoroughbred’s outpatient treatment is there. Clients get therapy and counseling to help maintain sobriety and work through early recovery challenges.

This outpatient alcohol rehab lets people fully weave recovery practices into everyday life, all while staying connected to professional support.
