Substance Abuse Treatment

All over the world, people of differing ages and backgrounds feel caught in the trap of addiction. Substance abuse treatment is a viable option. If you are suffering with alcohol and/or drug use, you are more than familiar with this trap. It can make you feel alone in your battle, even if you are surrounded by people. It’s a trap that works to ensnare every part of your life, your money, your relationships, your work, even your own view of self. Even the strongest of people struggle every day against this trap. Whether you have been facing this battle for weeks, months, or even years, you don’t have to keep doing it alone.

Help for Substance Abuse

Our counselors are here to provide a safe and supportive environment for you as you begin to face the destruction that addiction has caused in your life. We will be here to listen and offer encouragement as well as challenge the beliefs you may have about your addiction and your own capabilities. Your time in therapy will push you, but from this challenge comes growth and change.

We will help teach you how to recognize truths versus lies with the practice of different tools and therapeutic modalities. Together with your therapist, you will uncover lies you have been telling yourself since your addiction began. We will also teach you how to avoid, resist, and redirect thoughts leading to poor choices, taking the control away from your addiction and placing it back in your own hands. Our counselors will also help you begin the process of healing relationships that were damaged by addictive behaviors. Having a safe unbiased space to unload your burdens can be the very place for healing to begin even while the road to recovery and peace may be bumpy.

Underlying Issues of Substance Abuse

You may feel that your situation is a little more complex, as often addiction can mask other mental disorders. Mental disorders commonly found with substance abuse are Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, and ADHD. There are also mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, that can be triggered by the overuse of substances. Seeing a counselor would help you to not only work on your addiction, but also to process any other mental health needs you may have. Each person facing addiction, especially when other disorders are present, needs a specialized treatment plan to ensure that all of their needs are being met. We will be able to evaluate you to determine what treatment should be implemented to produce the most beneficial therapeutic experience.
