Rebuilding trust and closeness after substance abuse is a pivotal part of recovery for married couples. At Trinity Behavioral Health, our specialized program ensures that partners not only heal individually but also rekindle the bonds that may have frayed during addiction. Below, we outline how our approach fosters renewed intimacy through shared experiences, targeted therapies, and comprehensive support.
Together in Recovery: Couples Stay Together, Room Together, Heal Together
One of the hallmarks of our program is that we do not separate our couples. From the moment you arrive at Trinity Behavioral Health, you and your spouse share accommodations designed to feel comforting and private. This setting allows you to:
-
Support each other through early withdrawal stages, offering emotional reassurance when cravings and discomfort arise.
-
Share daily routines, from meals to group activities, so that each partner witnesses the other’s journey and growth.
-
Practice communication skills in real time—whether it’s expressing fears at night or celebrating small victories in the morning.
By rooming together, couples find that the simple act of holding hands during challenging moments can be profoundly healing. Our facilities are also pet friendly, allowing approved emotional support animals to join you. This shared responsibility further cements teamwork and provides additional comfort.
Dedicated Couples Therapy: Socially Designated Couples Therapist
Addiction impacts relationships on many levels—emotional, physical, and spiritual. Recognizing this, each couple is paired with a socially designated couples therapist, distinct from individual counselors. This therapist:
-
Guides joint sessions focused on communication breakdowns, unmet needs, and rebuilding trust.
-
Designs exercises such as role-reversal dialogues, where each partner articulates the other’s struggles and feelings.
-
Teaches healthy intimacy by helping couples set boundaries, express affection safely, and reintroduce physical closeness in a respectful, consensual manner.
While individual therapy remains crucial—addressing personal trauma, triggers, and coping mechanisms—the couples therapist ensures that both partners learn to navigate their shared recovery path. This dual-therapist model—one for the individual and one for the relationship—provides tailored support without overlap or confusion.
Insurance Coverage Made Simple
Many couples worry about the financial burden of comprehensive treatment. At Trinity Behavioral Health, PPO insurance plans typically cover most, if not all, of your treatment, including:
-
Accommodations for shared rooms and private living spaces
-
Meals, designed by nutritionists to support physical healing
-
Medications, overseen by our medical team for safe withdrawal management
-
Therapy services, from individual counseling to couples sessions and group workshops
-
Medical visits, including routine check-ups and specialized consultations
-
Fun sober activities, such as art therapy, nature walks, and yoga—essential for rebuilding joy and connection
Our intake coordinators work directly with your insurer to verify benefits and handle prior authorizations. This streamlined process means you can focus on recovery rather than paperwork.
