Top addiction therapists in 70757: Maringouin, LA.

We treat the symptoms and not the root. I'm sure you've heard it all too often. Most addictions, I have come to believe are what are called traumaddictions. that is, they are rooted in traumas throughout our life, primarily our childhood developmental years. We often have no one to feel safe to find comfort when something "bad" happens, be it an accident by car, word, or deed. Few of us have had childhoods without some form or even pattern of trauma, including being bullied regularly. Addictions often come from these wounds, which is why we call many addictive patterns forms of self medication. Working through and resolving the traumas help immensely in diminishing the addictive patterns.

I love working with addicts. Most don't realize that they are looking for a core need in their addiction. Of course addiction is a disease, however, discovering the core need and using an emotional release technique often gets to the root of the "illness." Also, processing repressed emotions of shame, and fear and other unpleasant emotions and beliefs greatly reduce drug cravings. Let me help you get out of the trap of addiction.

We will work tirelessly to help you feel supported and encouraged throughout your stay with us while you work through your addiction, the problems it has caused you, and address any underlying issues that you may be coping with. We’ll work hard to teach you coping skills and help you see the strength that you have within you, empowering you to grow, learn, and heal on your road to recovery. When you’re ready to leave us, we’ll work with you to make sure you have an aftercare plan in place to ensure your continued health and sobriety.
