Addiction Therapists in Wakefield, MA.

People abuse substances such as drugs and alcohol for varied and complicated reasons. Substance abuse may begin in childhood or the teen years. Early recognition of drug or alcohol addiction increases chances for successful treatment. Substance abuse treatment consists of different parts and methods. Detoxification and medication treatment are used to address the physical elements of substance dependence. But detox is only the start of a long battle against relapse. Even after physical dependence has settled, addicts are at high risk for relapse. Social and psychological factors such as cues in surroundings, stress, and being around friends who continue to use, can trigger renewed usage.

I have helped those that have a dual diagnosis of some substance use and perhaps Depression, some use and how it has negatively impacted your life,relationships, job etc. I do not work with severe alcoholism or addictions as this is a specialty that you need to find a credentialed professional for. Let's talk and be real honest so we can work,together to help,lead you out of bondage or lead you to someone who can.

Addictions can involve substances, like alcohol or drugs, or behaviors, such as gambling or sex//pornography. Addictions destroy the quality of life of the addict's friends, family and work colleagues, and lead to the emotional, spiritual, even physical, death of the addict him/herself. They are very widespread and very serious. The good news: once addictive behavior ends, improvement starts almost immediately. An experienced addictions counselor will assess whether an addict needs detox, an intensive rehab /recovery group, a 12-step group, or individual counseling. Counseling can also help the families of addicts recover from the damage of living with addiction.

I have specialized in the field of substance abuse and addiction for over three decades. For several years I ran groups for alcohol/opioid dependent adults who were newly sober. I am familiar with both 12-Step Programs and Smart Recovery and I remain a firm believer that it takes a village to get and remain clean and sober. In my private practice today, I work with quite a number of people in recovery. I ONLY work with people who are in recovery to aid and assist them to live fuller and richer spiritual lives. Helping people to rediscover or discover their spirituality is a joy (albeit it sometimes challenging) and is a delight to bear witness to!

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161.
