We recognize that addiction is not just a chronic brain disease or a habit of destructive behaviors – it is both. That is why we offer truly integrated, multi-specialty, team-based care which is able to address the physical, medical and emotional dimensions of addiction. We incorporate evidence-based practices that include medication to treat specific substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions, a wide range of behavioral therapies, and wellness coaching.
Through advances in brain imaging and genetic analysis, we now know that addiction has a strong biological basis. We also know that, as with other chronic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension (HTN), patient choices often contribute significantly to the development and severity of their illness. Just as patients can make choices that worsen their diabetes or HTN, they can also make choices that drastically improve or reverse the course of their disease. The same is true of addiction.
We view the process of recovery as providing clients with the tools, resources, and support to both accept where they are and take responsibility for making the positive changes that will enable them to live their best life.
The single biggest predictor of maintaining recovery and preventing substance-related illness and death is continued engagement in treatment. However, most treatment programs are structured in such a way to make access to treatment incompatible to meet work, family, and community responsibilities. With flexible hours of service, a conveniently located office in Cary, and telemedicine/teletherapy options, we are able to design your individualized treatment plan to fit into the other important activities of your life. We believe that clients should not have to choose between receiving effective addiction treatment and living their lives.
We are dedicated to helping our clients develop the skills and insight to lead satisfying, productive, and healthy lives. Rebuilding life after addiction can be overwhelming, and it is easy for people to slip back into destructive patterns of thought and behavior. Relapse doesn’t undo all of the progress our clients have made throughout their recovery; instead, it is an opportunity to re-evaluate and adjust treatment plans.
We have expertise in working with clients who are at different stages of change and may be ambivalent about making a long term commitment to sobriety. We believe that harm reduction can be a critical component of addiction treatment.
Unlike a traditional recovery program, Triangle Wellness & Recovery treatment plans are highly individualized based on client’s goals, treatment priorities, work and family schedules, clinical needs, and personal interests. Our holistic approach to recovery and addiction is research based and is found to be the most effective form of treatment for substance use and behavioral health disorders. Our sessions are available in-person or via telemedicine/tele-therapy, in addition to options for evening and early morning appointments.
"I would like to highly recommend Triangle Wellness & Recovery and Dr. Sara Koenig to everyone who is looking for a place of real healing and wholeness. Having been on a journey of looking for help for my family only to find limited results, I quickly recognized the difference as we began to receive care. Dr Koenig's knowledge, commitment and understanding has been invaluable to my family's road to wholeness. We have since met several members of the Triangle Wellness & Recovery team and the environment is unlike any other. Everyone is truly committed to assist in our road to a healthier life. We are forever grateful!" - Anonymous
"Triangle Wellness & Recovery is different because they actually care about people and not just numbers and checklists. They helped me tremendously when I began treatment and went over and beyond what I thought anyone would do to get me feeling better. After I started treatment, I started couple’s counseling here too and it helped us understand each other better and strengthened my thinking and ability to talk about it, our relationship as a couple." - Anonymous
“Cameron relates to me. I believe that he understands me and I understand him. This has been very helpful to me.” - R.L.
“By the time I met Dr. Koenig and Cameron, I barely felt human. I struggled with addiction, PTSD and social anxiety and all 3 were out of control. The help Dr. Koenig and Cameron gave me helped me return to a place I feel whole and confident again. I used to only leave my house for drugs. Now, I am traveling and performing again. I will always be grateful for the kindness, wisdom and support I received at Triangle Wellness & Recovery.” - J.B.R.
