Top addiction therapists in 49021: Bellevue, MI.

Addictions are an attempt to fill an emptiness. An important step in treating addictions is discovering where the emptiness exists. Many times,the emptiness originates in thought processes formed in childhood. Sometimes we may not even be aware. Learn where the emptiness originated and how to fill it without depending on substances, activities, or people. Cognitive restructuring works well in the treatment of additions. A medical referral will made if/when appropriate.

I have been a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor for nearly 20 years. I have worked with clients who were addicted to a wide variety of substances and often to more than one substance. I believe in the effectiveness of the 12 Step programs but sometimes more individualized interventions are needed to help a client achieve and maintain recovery for life.
