Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy

Integrative Harm Reduction Therapy (IHRT) is a modern, evidence-based approach that supports individuals struggling with substance use by focusing on reducing harm rather than enforcing abstinence. It combines psychotherapy, mindfulness, and practical tools to empower people to make safer, healthier choices at their own pace. Rise Above The Risk has witnessed a painfully slow adoption of this model of recovery in the US, but the tides are finally starting to turn as it continually proves to be one of the most effective methods in reducing the negative effects of drug use on both the user and society while working to address the underlying psychological and sociological factors driving the problematic aspects of use without placing the unrealistic burden of abstinence on drug users new to treatment.
