Addiction

Usually, when someone looks for help with addiction, it is because some facet of their life is not functioning easily whether it be a relationship, employment, living situation, law, or health issues.  Having over 20 years of sobriety myself helps potential clients feel understood.  To be free of addiction, total abstinence is recommended.  This concept often causes a reaction in the user because addiction has provided a sufficient way to cope up until now.  Imagining life without it seems incomprehensible.  Here is where I can help you understand what addiction is if you suffer from it, and what hopeful alternatives there are.  Addiction is a family disease and can be treated individually or as a group.  There is a genetic component to it and/or an increased tolerance over time that may signal physical withdrawal if abruptly stopped.  I recommend you go to the nearest Emergency Room if you are experiencing symptoms of shaking, delirium, bleeding, or seizures.  Sometimes it is not the best choice to stop without medical assistance, especially if you are dual-addicted (pills and alcohol for instance.)  Severe addiction is like being in prison.  Freedoms have over time been removed.

Perhaps your use has only recently increased due to difficult circumstances and you CAN adjust your habits or stop altogether without any discomfort.  Let’s find out.

I have worked with many addicts, alcoholics, and eating disorder sufferers resulting in success starting with education about addiction.  Some of my clients have gone back to school, get much better jobs, and have fun now!

The good news is there is help available and a more fulfilling way to live.  ANYONE can start on a journey to living a HAPPY and successful life regardless of how awful it has gotten.
