The pressures and realities of adult life often trigger substance use disorders. Whether to relieve anxiety or depression brought on or exacerbated by work, school, domestic life, finances, marital issues, social problems or other life circumstances, the self-medicating powers of alcohol and drugs are undeniably effective, until a problem develops. As they progress, substance use disorders not only make the problems being self-medicated worse, they begin to impact other areas of life, health and functionality.
Our clients represent persons of all ages, races, genders and walks of life. They’re everyday people, business executives, housewives, students, professionals, moms, dads and grandparents. While the reasons and circumstances that lead them to us are invariably different, our clients share a common desire to get their lives back on track, and they need practical, effective strategies to accomplish that.
We utilize a flexible, innovative mix of treatment strategies that may include motivational therapy, education, group therapy, family and peer support, social and relationship skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy, with our primary goal being to help our clients find the means they need to overcome their substance use disorder and maintain long term recovery.
We do everything we can to help our clients prepare for life after treatment, and the challenges of long-term recovery. This requires addressing not only the fundamental causes of the problem, but also the addictive patterns and behaviors that are developed and honed over time. We help our clients explore the behavioral and learned aspects of their problem, and help them develop strategies to avoid their old rituals, routines and triggers. We also provide aftercare treatment, where clients can share their struggles with long-term recovery, and get continuing support and feedback.
