When you are addicted to a substance or specific action, it can take over your life. When this happens, your addiction becomes your first concern. Everyone and everything else goes by the wayside and all you can think about is your next “fix.” As your personal matters and work-life suffer, you feel more out of control.
While alcohol, tobacco, and drugs are three of the most common addictions, one can become addicted to other things as well. People need help overcoming destructive behaviors like gambling, shopping, eating, exercising, using the internet, playing video games, and more. Addiction can also be connected to interpersonal interactions like love, sex, and relationships.
Counseling can help intervene when you are struggling and at your lowest. You can also benefit from counseling throughout the healing process as you continue to overcome dependence.
Addiction counseling works by identifying the social and psychological triggers that increase your addictive urges. Counseling also teaches you the skills necessary to cope with these triggers. This helps you resolve your addiction for the long-term.
We can help with a variety of counseling services:
