Addiction Therapists in Centreville, MD.

We can provide supportive therapy to the recovery process, by identifying activity in the brain that have been affected by substance use (or that perhaps even caused it!), and then treating to fortify against relapse. For example, many of the superior recovery programs around the country provide alpha brainwave training, since this has proven effective at deterring recidivism; we use this extensively with the recovering population, to effect much greater outcomes. We will work collaboratively with your therapist, or provide the therapy ourselves, and encourage 12 step work, meetings (where beneficial), and brain rehabilitation, towards maximal chances of full recovery and success.

To help you manage addictive behaviors and dependence on any mood altering substances, we will start with reviewing the history of your addictive behavior and the impact it has on your relationships, health, employment, and functioning. Sometimes addictive substances or behaviors have served to mask underlying sources of pain, such as mood instability, anxiety, relationship stressors, or emptiness and loss of meaning. These underlying factors can be addressed in psychotherapy along with learning new resources for managing addictive behaviors, such as educational lectures, family therapy, 12 step groups, and/or referral to a medical doctor for medication that aids your overall recovery.
