Alcohol and Drug Addiction

If you’re seeking treatment for an addiction to drugs or alcohol I want you to know that you are not alone. Seeking treatment can be intimidating, but is an important step towards recovery.

Here are a few of the ways I will help you:

• Help you understand why you turned to drugs or alcohol. In some cases, problems stem from unresolved childhood issues or traumatic experience.
• Create confidence and encouragement in helping you through nervousness, shame, or uncertainty about discussing personal issues.
• Help you learn and practice coping techniques and problem-solving skills that help navigate difficult situations without turning to drugs or alcohol.
• Suggest ways to change aspects of life that are no longer effective or useful, and replace them with positive life changes.
• Discuss, help repair, or discontinue dysfunctional personal relationships that may stand in the way of recovery.
• Identify underlying issues such as trauma or abuse, which might influence emotions and behaviour on a subconscious level.
• Use various techniques to enhance self-discovery, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among many others, which will help you understand and change destructive thought patterns and help you replace them with constructive ones.
• Assist you with navigating the 12 steps, and discuss AA, and other effective resources.
• First and foremost, I will help you rediscover and rebuild your own intrinsic self-worth, self-esteem and self-love.
