Impulse Control Disorders can feel like you are constantly acting before you have time to think. These conditions involve repeated struggles to resist urges or temptations that can cause harm to yourself or others. Whether it is aggressive outbursts, compulsive stealing, gambling, or other behaviors that happen “in the moment,” the results often bring regret, guilt, and negative consequences that seem impossible to avoid.
At R&R Health, we understand that these actions are not simply a matter of poor judgment or lack of willpower. They often stem from deeper issues such as trauma, stress, mood disorders, or imbalances in brain functioning. With the right treatment, it is possible to slow down the cycle, gain control over impulses, and make choices that align with your goals and values.
Comprehensive and Compassionate Assessment
We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand the specific type of impulse control disorder you are facing, the situations that trigger it, and any co-occurring mental health concerns.
Evidence-Based Therapies
We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thought patterns that drive impulsive behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills, while mindfulness-based approaches help clients develop the ability to pause and choose their response rather than reacting automatically.
Holistic and Experiential Care
Our treatment includes activities that promote self-awareness, reduce stress, and build confidence, such as surf therapy, yoga, breathwork, art therapy, music therapy, reiki, equine-assisted activities, and outdoor adventures. These experiences allow clients to practice new coping skills in real-world settings.
Skill-Building for Long-Term Change
We focus on developing practical strategies for managing triggers, creating structure in daily routines, and building accountability systems. Family involvement is encouraged when appropriate to strengthen support networks and promote lasting progress.
Our goal is to help you regain control over your actions, make decisions that serve your long-term well-being, and feel proud of the way you handle challenges. You will learn to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively, building trust in yourself and in your relationships.
Clients who commit to treatment often discover that the same traits once linked to impulsivity, such as energy, spontaneity, and quick thinking, can be redirected toward positive goals and meaningful experiences.
You do not have to face this alone. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or a loved one, our admissions team will guide you every step of the way.
