Addiction & Substance Abuse Counseling
Substance abuse /addiction are typically an indicator of something deeper. Our counselors are trained to work with you to determine what the underlying causes are and will work toward a holistic treatment plan with you. Substance abuse / addiction may include over-use of the following substances: alcohol, amphetamines, caffeine, cannabis, cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, nicotine, opioids, phencyclidine, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, or poly-substances.
Use the questions below as a self-reflective guide.
Do you…
- find yourself using something more often and in greater quantities than you intend to?
- need more and more of a substance to get the desired effect?
- have the desire to cut down but can’t seem to control the urges enough to change the habit?
- spend a great deal of time or energy to obtain a substance?
- give up or reduce important social occupational, or recreational activities because of the substance?
- feel the need to hide your use of a substance from your family, friends, and coworkers?
- use a substance to soothe or calm yourself, or to cope with emotions or stressors?
- find that using a substance causes harm or a negative impact on yourself and others?
