Therapy creates a safe place to explore
ADDICTION THERAPY
There are many reasons why people may struggle with addiction or drinking and why addiction therapy can help. Sometimes it’s a perfect storm of social and emotional factors, disconnection to others, family history, stress, social norms, anxiety, depression, or biology.
Therapy is a place that you can talk with a supportive, unbiased, and nonjudgemental person. Which helps!
You will learn skills to understand how you are feeling, as well as how to effectively communicate and connect with people in your life. Things may feel hard right now, but with the right support they can get better!

DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ALCOHOL OR DRUGS?
Even a few signs or symptoms can be the beginning of a problem. Here are some to look for:
- drinking, or using more, or for longer than you intended
- have wanted to cut down on drinking or use but couldn’t
- have to drink or use more to get the effect you want
- spend a lot of time drinking or using
- continued to drink or use when it caused trouble in your relationships
- affects your energy, your health, or how you felt about yourself
- drinking or use interfers with job, or taking care of home or family
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
