Addiction Therapists in Saint Georges de Clarenceville, QC.

As an addiction counselor, I approach each client with empathy, understanding, and a non-judgmental attitude. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore the root causes of their addiction and work towards lasting recovery. I use evidence-based practices and work collaboratively with clients to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and challenges. Through counseling, clients can gain insight into their addictive behaviors, develop coping strategies for triggers and cravings, and learn skills to manage and maintain their recovery over time.

Addiction is a debilitating condition that typically interferes with everyday function. In theory, anything pleasurable can be addictive. Examples include drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, sex, gambling, gaming, etc. Addiction takes place when you build tolerance to the effects of a pleasurable activity. In turn, you will have to increase the amount used to achieve the same effect, but then weaning off becomes increasingly difficult, and hence, you are said to be addicted.
