Drug and Alcohol Counselling

Addiction counselling offers a confidential environment for addressing the root causes of dependency and cultivating healthy coping mechanisms. Dependency may originate from early adaptive behaviours that become maladaptive over time. Therapeutic modalities such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotional freedom techniques (EFT), and the development of inner strengths empower individuals to build resilience and overcome addictive behaviours supporting long term recovery.

Practicing patience, restraint, and awareness contributes to the development of mental strength, fosters new neural pathways and promotes a broader outlook that supports lasting change.

Drug addiction symptoms and behaviors include, among others:

  • Feeling the need to use the drug regularly, which can be daily or multiple times a day
  • Having intense urges for the drug
  • Over time, needing more of the drug to get the same effect
  • Making certain that you maintain a supply of the drug
  • Not meeting obligations and work responsibilities
  • Doing things you wouldn’t normally do to get the drug, such as stealing
  • Focusing more and more time and energy on getting and using the drug
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using the drug
  • Failed attempts to quit using the drug

If you can relate to any of the above symptoms or behaviors, it may be time to consider addiction counseling.

As an addiction counselor, I will address the symptoms of your addiction and the related areas of impaired functioning, and together we’ll structure the time and content of your ongoing recovery.

I believe that there are many paths to successful recovery that will work with your goals and desires, and ensure you can make the life changes you want to make. Contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
