Top addiction therapists in 83716: Boise, ID.

Addictions can come in many forms, but generally the shape it takes in peoples lives is one of pain and dis-empowerment. I help to understand the traps of addiction, why they keep finding themselves stuck, as well as giving the tools and motivation to get them out of its grasp. I believe that the 12 Step approach is effective for some people and not for others. I approach treating addiction from the method that fits each person individually.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified addictions counselor. I support the idea that sobriety is possible with treatment and a desire to change. I treat substance abuse and addiction, along with the family issues that commonly accompany these maladies. I am able to assist individuals with dual diagnoses and the associated mental health concerns. I believe strongly that long term sobriety is based on personal awareness and friendly support. I integrate twelve step philosophy as part of a larger perspective related to what it takes to remain sober. I have access to inpatient or outpatient treatment resources both locally and nationally.

Have you tried and failed at the twelve step programs? I utilize SMART Recovery's 4-Point Program® helps people recover from all types of addictive behaviors, including: alcoholism, drug abuse, substance abuse, drug addiction, alcohol abuse, gambling addiction, cocaine addiction, and addiction to other substances and activities. SMART Recovery (Self Management And Recovery Training) helps individuals gain independence from addiction (substances or activities). Efforts are based on scientific knowledge and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves.

If you believe you are, or if you're uncertain if you're ready to be done with your addiction, I believe I may be able to help you. I believe in helping you discover the power of self-efficacy. SMART Recovery is a program founded in the evidence based treatment of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. I believe in helping you learn tools that can help with motivation and coping with urges. Give it a try! You won't be sorry!!
