Addictions take many forms, but the core issue is a life style that looks to activities or substances in order to escape the pain of living in the present and dealing with everyday issues as they come. For awhile it can seem like a really good solution, but in time addictions take up more and more time and space in ones life. As they take up more space, they begin to destroy relationships, goals, dreams and even a sense that life is in control. Freedom from addiction is possible, and then the reverse can happen: relationships can be restored, goals can be set, and dreams can again push us toward becoming a better and more productive person.

There are many benefits of drug addiction counseling. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, behavioral therapies like drug addiction counseling are the most commonly used forms of drug abuse treatment. Counseling can help those who are addicted to drugs in a number of ways and can be used alone or with another type of drug addiction treatment, such as medication. If you are someone who is currently addicted to drugs and wants to stop using drugs because your life is unmanageable, it is important for you to understand that drug addiction counseling is going to be a part of your recovery.

Many approaches to addiction emphasize willpower and deprivation, but this only works temporarily. Alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours like gambling and gaming offer short-term relief of underlying issues at a long-term cost to one's relationships and health. As an addiction counsellor, I can help you resolve underlying issues, regain control, and build a sense of meaning and purpose, so you can start living the life you want. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery. I meet each client where they are at, tailoring my approach to each person's unique needs. Send me a message and we can connect for a quick call to discuss next steps.
