What is the goal of substance abuse counseling?

Overcoming substance abuse can feel like trying to climb a mountain in a thick fog, but the goal of counseling is to give you a guide and a clear path forward. We work together to help you understand the root of your reliance on substances, develop new coping skills, and find a sense of purpose that doesn’t depend on them. We believe in your capacity for change and are here to help you not just get sober, but to build a new life that is more rewarding than you can imagine.

Can counseling help me stay sober long-term?

Staying sober is not a one-time thing; it’s a long-term commitment. Counseling helps you build a strong foundation for your recovery, like reinforcing the base of a house. We’ll help you develop skills to manage cravings, avoid relapse triggers, and navigate the daily stresses of life without turning to substances. We’ll also help you create a network of support so you can continue to feel seen and heard on your journey. We believe in your capacity to lead a life of lasting recovery.

What's the difference between substance abuse and addiction?

Think of substance abuse like playing with fire and addiction as getting burned. Substance abuse is the behavior of using substances in a way that’s harmful, such as missing work or engaging in risky behavior. Addiction is a disease that causes a powerful, uncontrollable craving for substances. It's a progressive, chronic condition that can have a devastating impact on your life. We can work together to help you understand your unique experience and develop a plan to take control.

What are the most effective treatments for substance abuse?

The most effective treatment for substance abuse is a comprehensive approach that addresses both your physical and emotional needs. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution; it's a personalized plan that helps you get to the root of your challenges. We'll provide a safe and supportive space to work through your mental health challenges while also giving you the tools to manage your substance use. You can get your life back, and we're here to help you every step of the way.
