Ashburn Psychological Services has therapists and doctors available to assist in your recovery from addiction. Addiction to alcohol, substances, sex and pornography, gambling, computers and media and foods are some of the areas that can be addressed in treatment. A bio-psycho-social model to addiction treatment is widely seen as being a successful approach. With this approach, a client's addiction is understood and treated in the context of his or her biology, psychology and social reality.
