Top addiction therapists in 61350: Ottawa, IL.

When we hear about addictions, substance abuse is generally the type of addition that comes to mind. However, addictions to sex, shopping, porn, internet, video games, work, exercise, and gambling are common examples. Addiction to any of these will have an impact on the way you live your life. My specialized training has been in the treatment of gambling. When I practiced in California, I was a certified provider through the California Problem Gambling Treatment Service Program, California Office of Problem Gambling. My initial training, plus follow up training and experience with individuals with gambling addictions, have helped to increase my effectiveness.

Are you suffering from a loved one's addiction to alcohol or drugs? Addictions are "cunning, baffling and powerful".

You can learn how to relate with your loved one in a healthy way , how to take care of yourself so your own needs can be met and how to help the other family members cope.
