Addiction Therapists in Fort Washington, MD.

At Counseling Solutions, LLC, I treat substance abuse utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and 12-Step Principles. Individuals who are experiencing life problems due to their alcohol or drug use are appropriate for these types of outpatient, weekly therapy. The substance use may be impairing relationships, job performance, health, or a general sense of well-being. For those who require detoxification due to withdrawal symptoms, it is essential that a period of closely monitored inpatient treatment and/or a period of residential treatment be completed prior to outpatient therapy

Life can present you with difficult situations which are hard to process and move past. These challenges are not on your timeline and affect everything.

Recovering from addiction requires support, commitment, motivation and time. Committing to sobriety involves changes in how you think about yourself, and how you deal with stress and relationships. I believe treatment should address your specific needs and focus on more than the addiction. Success also depends on addressing the reasons for the addiction. I use a comprehensive and holistic approach that also helps you: enhance your motivation to participate in treatment; develop strategies for coping with cravings; learn skills to avoid and prevent relapse; learn to develop a healthier life-style; and address other health problems such as depression or anxiety. I also provide and recommend additional services such as support groups and group therapy,...(view profile to read more)

Addiction is an intense yearning to again and again experience the effects of repeating a behavior or using a substance. Whether it is alcohol addiction or internet addiction, the loss of control and the constant cravings affect one’s physical health, emotional well-being, and social life. The goal of therapy is to help you break the current routine - to help you develop and practice strategies for impulse control and build a healthy, balanced, productive, and rewarding lifestyle.

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.

I started out 38 years ago working mainly with addictions. One of my highest success levels is in addictions. Of-course, addiction comes in many styles and forms, but they have a lot in common. Many addictions are a poor attempt to cover up something one is wanting to run or hide from. It does not take long to find that out by just listening to you. Then we go to work resolving that hang-up. I have learned the power of listening, it, in and of itself is a great healer.

I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.

If you have been trapped in alcoholism or addictions, I can help you. I have decades of experience, both personally and professionally, with addiction recovery. My first book, "FROM ADDICTION TO RECOVERY," (available at Amazon.com) is about how to navigate the recovery process and create a life that you love, and can be applied to any addiction. I will meet you where you are, help you to identify choices, and assist you in moving towards the best options for you. You will begin to experience more freedom in your life than ever before.

I work with a variety of addictions - work, food (binge eating), exercise, sex, drugs, and alcohol. My focus is combining compassion with realism. Addictions evolve because of a predisposition combined with a great need. Among other things, this need may be a powerful emptiness, sense of despair, crushing engulfment, desire to feel alive and powerful or a desire to disappear. By addressing the self-destructive behavior, the underlying purpose of the addiction , and the environment which reinforces the addiction, great changes may be made.

Many people attempt to avoid painful issues by taking pills, powders, or liquids and then waiting for the desired effect - an alteration of their consciousness. There are more positive ways to alter consciousness without turning to alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex, television, work, or any other activity that when used to excess, has a destructive impact on your life. Learning to change your mood by healthier more active methods involves some effort and motivation on your part but recovery from addiction is possible. We have experienced substance abuse professionals to help you make the changes you want to make

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.
