Substance Abuse Counseling
The key to overcoming addiction.
REACHING RECOVERY THROUGH COUNSELING
Counseling is an integral part of treatment. Through the guidance of a professional counselor, individuals participate in different types of counseling as part of the program, including:
-
One-on-one counseling
-
Group counseling
-
Family counseling
There are many benefits to counseling and it is key to achieving long-lasting success.
Counseling helps clients understand the nature of addiction as a disease and the effects of the disease on the brain and their behaviors. Through counseling, individuals explore why they became addicted, what triggers are associated with addiction and ways to develop long-lasting plans that will make improvements across all areas of their lives.
Counselors help patients learn how to better cope with stress, handle setbacks and loss and find new ways of making progress.
Clients who invest time in counseling reap great benefits. Similar to exercise in combination with diet delivers the best results for weight loss, patients see better results for long term success when they dedicate the appropriate amount of time to counseling in addition to medication-assisted treatment.
