Top addiction therapists in 21638: Grasonville, MD.

Are you wondering if your use of alcohol and/or other chemical substances is beginning to take control of your life? Chances are you started drinking or using so that you could cope with life, but now you're finding that it's getting harder and harder to cope. It can be overwhelming to think about quitting and staying quit. I can help you to assess your chemical use and decide what, if any, changes you need to make. I also offer an ear acupuncture treatment that lessens cravings and withdrawal symptoms while also helping to manage depression and anxiety.

Addiction treatment is often as much about cessation or reduction of usage as it is the "why" of the usage. I do my best to balance both sides while keeping the perspective of what ultimately the client wants and needs. Often this involves finding ways to get what is meaningful and reduce what isn't, such as substances. Accountability and insight are extremely important in this treatment. But if you have the desire to actually make the changes, that goes a long way.

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.
