Top addiction therapists in 34217: Bradenton Beach, FL.

My approach toward addiction is to discover, with the client, what it has been accomplishing for him or her. In other words, what the purpose of the addiction is, its specific cause. The factor or factors that have been keeping it in place. I also tend to use cognitive-semantic processing and skills training because, very often, a person's unexamined thoughts and beliefs about self, life, and addiction may be an obstacle to his or her recovery. Examining these from a new and fresh perspective can bring about renewed insight, opportunity, and motivation.

Whether you've recently decided to seek treatment, or your loved ones are insisting on it, you can be assured you won't encounter any judgment or blame here. If alcohol or drug abuse is causing you problems like declining job performance or joblessness, arrests, accidents, withdrawal symptoms, broken relationships, and associated medical and/or psychiatric illnesses, it may be time to consider treatment. If your problem drinking or using is causing marital discord, financial problems, depression or anxiety, you'd be wise to see me for a comprehensive Substance Abuse Evaluation. Together we can discuss your treatment options & get you started on your journey towards wellness & RECOVERY!

I started my work in this field primarily focusing on addictive disorders. In the last 30 years the magnitude of addictive behaviors have exploded. What used to be primarily drug and alcohol addiction now covers many different types of addictive behaviors including sex, spending, shopping, food, gambling and the internet, just to name a few of the more common ones. My approach when working with people who are struggling with addiction is first help them maintain a level of sobriety or abstinence from their addictive behaviors. We create an individualized treatment plan with an emphasis on relapse prevention that often includes support groups and family or couples therapy.

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. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161.

Overcoming addiction is a unique struggle. I utilize several forms of therapy including Motivational Interviewing techniques and behavioral techniques to help people with this issue. Addiction recovery requires a holistic style. If one focusses only on the behavioral aspect or only on the support aspect, or only on any one or two aspects, it is not likely to have lasting results. Often people with addiction also have depression, anxiety or trauma related issues to work on. These need to be worked on simultaneously to addiction recovery.

All addictions are the result of a "hole" or void in your soul (mind and emotions). What are you trying to replace by using alcohol, drugs, gambling, complulsive internet, sex? This ministry is able to help you identify what is lacking in your life, the "hole" that you are filling with a dangerous addiction. Once identified, we can do the work of bringing healing and wholeness to your soul. Every addiction will cripple you, destroy the life and destiny you were born to have and has the power to cause you an early death. Don't wait to deal with your addiction. Face it, come out of denial and contact me today!!

I've had a 40 year career at the Department of Veteran's Affairs working in Mental Health units. Many of those patients had a primary problem with Substance Abuse. I have completed substance abuse assessments, facilitated outpatient and inpatient therapy groups for substance abusers, and extensively worked with their families. I have a deep understanding of the issues surrounding substance abuse and am aware of the community resources required to fully treat substance abuse. Addictions can also include gambling, food, work, and sex. Often we get one under control and another one emerges. I am here to help.
