substance abuse
Addiction to alcohol or other drugs can be very disruptive to a person’s life and family. Much research has been done in recent years on the brain and how addiction develops. This has enabled us as therapists to utilize useful techniques when it comes to substance abuse and chemical addiction. Addicts do not have to suffer if they are only willing to get help. Anyone can get sober with the right direction and the willingness to make changes in life. Sometimes sobriety can be accomplished with outpatient therapy, but other times it requires going to detox or inpatient temporarily. Whatever your circumstances are, we can help give you direction. If you are not sure what the next step is, call us to set up a substance abuse assessments.
Research studies have shown that a person is more likely to stay sober if they incorporate recovery into every part of their life. It is not just about quitting the self-destructive behavior. It is also about working on relationship problems, learning better self-care habits, getting good quality sleep, eating right, taking care of your body, connecting with others, identifying mental or emotional problems, addressing any health issues that are present, learning how to manage your money well, and working on yourself spiritually within your belief system. Technically you could call it a whole life makeover. This is the treatment approach used at Tensegrity. Of course, this cannot all happen at once. You need to pace yourself and work on it little by little. Therapy is a great way to have guidance in this process and receive coaching along the way.
