Moral Reconation therapy, or MRT therapy, is the most foolproof relapse prevention treatment you could undergo. This embeds relapse prevention techniques into your natural impulses. These newly-acquired habits help you maintain your focus on sobriety, and fend off old negative behaviors with good behavior practices. Consult the following information to better understand everything you need to know about moral reconation therapy.

What is MRT Therapy?

MRT treatment, much like cognitive-behavioral therapy, focuses on altering negative impulsive thought patterns tied to addictive behaviors. However, MRT does even more than untrain your thoughts and replace them with positive thought processes. MRT goes the extra mile to ensure these thought processes are implemented practically through moral reasoning. In the next section, we’ll cover how the process is run.

Is MRT Similar to Any Other Kinds of Treatment Practices?

Moral reconation treatment bears a stark resemblance to cognitive-behavioral therapy. Both types of therapy practices center around untraining bad mental habits that have embedded themselves into your behavioral practices due to the addictive personality. Both of these effectively counter this by utilizing highly effective positive behavior implementation practices to replace these former habits. Before long, these newly acquired practices become second nature. However, there is a key distinguishable focus in which MRT specializes.

What Separates MRT from Other Types of Treatment?

a-group-of-hands-in-moral-reconation-therapyMoral reconation treatment distinguishes itself from other treatments through its detailed focus on therapist-taught moral and consequential implications. By honing your focus on how the consequences affect you and your loved ones, it alters and improves your decision-making process. Considering decision-making’s key role in behavioral rectification, MRT separates itself from others by altering its optional discretion at the source.

How Does MRT Work?

There is a series of highly-effective practices that your specialist will conduct in moral reconation therapy to make certain treatment is working. Here are some of the morally based actions and practices MRT treatment implements in no particular order.

The first step of all MRT programs to ensure maximum efficacy is to establish an open and honest relationship with you early on. We achieve this through establishing complete transparency through honest speech in all that we say and do. For MRT to work, it requires the same level of honesty to be reciprocated. This means being fully transparent about all that is asked from you regarding medical and behavioral history and any potential triggers of your struggle.

Many people mistake breaking down one’s ego as tearing down confidence. It’s important to understand that confidence and ego are two separate entities. Egotistical characteristics interfere with rehab progress and positive behavioral habits. Confidence reinforces these positive habits and furthers recovery progress. Therefore, MRT’s breakdown of addiction’s egotistical impulses helps you remain humble and teachable throughout your treatment.

There’s a big difference between ego and having healthy pride and confidence in the person you are. That’s the amazing thing about moral reconation treatment programs as they help you humble yourself while understanding your important place in the world. This produces high self-esteem through a very healthy self-outlook and the confidence to maximize your life potential.

The purpose of relationship assessment in MRT is to discuss your closest bonds and determine whether these relationships are healthy. This helps your doctor identify any recovery hindrances, addiction accelerants, and other potential red flags or aids based on your relationships. This phase serves the dualfold purpose of rooting out negative associations while tightening important bonds. This includes incorporating training practices for loved ones.

In line with our open-ended dedication to transparency, we help you face the source of your negative behavioral patterns directly. This means discussing and confronting behavioral triggers, habits, and other factors you find difficult to break related to your battle. Rest assured, you’ll face no judgment and nothing but encouragement and motivation throughout this personalized process.

Healthy practice necessities vary per individual. That is to say, what one individual needs in MRT may not be what another needs. That’s why each MRT program is personalized to your needs. These healthy practices range from healthy emotional and mental responses to trauma to having a healthy balanced diet. All of which are key components to building positive mental practices. Your physician may outline a specific dietary plan to help this process.

MRT treatment practices involve mental and behavioral training that promotes mental and physical discipline. This means instituting repetitive healthy behaviors that become your normal routines. These healthy repetition implementations by your therapist are what eventually make these new positive behaviors an impulsive reaction. This means greater mental fortitude and tolerance to unexpected life occurrences and disciplined responses to such events. This helps you adopt healthy habits such as diet and exercise which support mind and body health.

Who is MRT Treatment For?

a-therapist-comforting-a-man-in-moral-reconation-therapyThough MRT is recommended for most recovery cases, certain individual classifications make MRT more of a necessity than a recommendation. If any of the following classifications describe you, MRT treatment is for you.

If you’ve completed rehab and find difficulty refraining from old habits, moral reconation therapy is the best follow-up choice for you. That’s because most people who relapse after completing rehab don’t know how to implement the tools they’ve learned independently. That’s where our highly trained team comes in to help you apply these relapse prevention tools to your daily life.

Even after you’ve grown and learned so much from rehab, former habits from the addicted personality can rear its head. This is especially more likely in individuals with an extensive addiction history. Therefore, MRT is the safety net needed to make certain those former impulses don’t make a return. Or at least know how to utilize relapse prevention techniques when those former thoughts come to mind.

Criminal behavior is more similar to addiction than people realize. These behaviors, much like addiction disorders, are impulsive and seemingly irrepressible. That’s why it is extremely common for people who are released from prison to eventually return to criminal activities. When you don’t have any other habits to replace these criminal impulses, as is the case for addiction habits, “relapse” occurs.

Put simply, moral reconation therapy is recommended for everyone to establish well-rounded rehab. Completing rehab and MRT in conjunction with sober living programs firmly grounds your recovery, increasing your likelihood of sustaining long-term sobriety. Speak to our devoted treatment team to learn how we can integrate MRT into your individualized recovery plan.

If you feel stuck in a rut in rehab, moral reasoning-based training tactics are your key to overcoming rehab obstacles. These teachings help you establish a new outlook on recovery, life, and addiction in general. In turn, this newfound outlook reinforces your rehab confidence while maximizing your determination to get the most out of treatment. Thanks to our state-of-the-art treatment approaches, you’ll finally have the tools you need to get out of the ruts that have hindered your progress.

Individuals who are against seeking personal treatment would benefit most from MRT. Why? Because this type of therapy is meticulously designed for anybody who is naturally resistant to treatment. By encouraging transparent, open-minded communication from both doctor and patient, we can effectively reach treatment-resistant individuals. This goes directly in line with our core values of building a meaningful relationship with our patients. This helps otherwise anti-treatment advocates not only warm up to rehab but help them embrace it wholeheartedly.

Veterans and trauma victims, including those who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, benefit tremendously from moral reconation treatment. This helps veterans deal with survivors’ guilt and other exposed traumas by helping them deal with trauma head-on through trauma-informed therapy. The decision-making-centered aspect of this therapy also helps them come to terms with the decisions they’ve made or had to make in the line of duty. These same decision-making processes aid other trauma victims in coping with and overcoming their traumatic experiences.
