Addiction Counseling
What is Addiction?
Substance abuse disorders and addictions are chronic conditions that cause you to use drugs and alcohol compulsively. During addiction, you can continue to seek out and abuse drugs and alcohol even if you want to quit or experience negative consequences.
Signs and symptoms of addiction include:
- Spending the majority of your time and money using or acquiring drugs or alcohol
- Inability to stop or control your drug or alcohol use
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you stop using
- Isolating from friends or family to drink or use
- Neglecting responsibilities, such as work, to use or drink
- Feeling guilt or shame about your drug or alcohol use.
Our Addiction counseling helps you set goals and plans, such as employment or education goals. Another important part of addiction treatment is developing useful and healthy coping strategies. Stressors like negative emotions or significant life changes can put you at risk of relapsing. Acquiring tools and skills to handle stressors can help you maintain sobriety and abstinence.
