Drugs and alcohol can become very problematic in people's life and can be extremely hard to stop.  Whether you're addicted or just need help cutting down or stopping, therapy can help you to identify why you're using and help you or your loved one find new ways of coping.  Also, we understand that many people have different experiences and feelings about their use. Some feel that they are addicted and can never use again while others may not feel that they have an addiction and are trying to cut down.  We encourage family and friend involvement in helping to deal with problematic drug or alcohol use.  Drug and alcohol problems can be hard on the person using, the partners, their children, their parents, their siblings, and other important people in their life. 

 

The most important thing is to know that you are not alone.  Therapy can help you deal with the problem and make and maintain the changes you desire.  Through therapy we can begin to identify triggers for use, develop alternative means of coping with difficult feelings and cravings, and develop support systems that will encourage the goals you desire.  We can help you regain your life and rebuild your relationships.  Don't give up, its never too late.
