Addiction Therapists in Posen, IL.

Addiction is problem that affects individuals, their families, and friends. However, many addicts deny that they have a problem and refuse to seek help. In some cases, the family finds itself unable to help. In our sessions we first assist the addict and then when possible, the family. Individual counseling is confidential and personal and involves the counselor meeting face to face with the addict to discuss recovery.

Struggling with addiction and substance abuse is not only difficult but it is exhausting. As a drug and alcohol counselor, I have worked with many individuals who have began questioning their use, struggled with sobriety, and have relapsed or barely holding onto their sobriety. I provide a judgement free environment for you to discuss your struggles with addiction, and provide education to help you understand the complexity of the disease of addiction. addiction can be isolating, lonely, and increase other mental health issues. As a drug and alcohol counselor I will help you to regain self acceptance and rebuild relationships.

This therapy treats substance abuse, sex addiction, overspending, overeating, gambling and internet shopping addictions. Working in collaboration with other 12-step programs in the community, together we will develop a plan to help you and your family through the difficult decisions and process of change of defining, understanding, and coping with addiction. We also offer toxicology screening, breathalyzer readings, and liaison services for those who are court mandated to treatment.

One of the most amazing things is witnessing people free themselves from the depths of addiction. I use multiple treatment approaches to first help an individual stabilize the addictive process. Then I help them work to fully understand the underlying reasons as to why they are addicted in the first place to help avoid relapse. Stopping is only one part of the process - understanding is another.
