Addiction Therapists in Michigan
Sometimes we need help with how we our feeling, changing a behavior, or the thoughts running through our heads. Individuals and families can be helped by sorting through how their feelings and behaviors affect each other. Seeking therapy can be the answer to these and other concerns. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals with mental health and substance abuse issues and the affects on families. Entering therapy can be a big step and commitment but well worth the life investment.

I've been a therapist and addictions counselor for over 15 years.
Has your life been feeling overwhelming or discouraging? Maybe you've been feeling sad or pulled in too many directions. You might experience fear that seems to bubble up from nowhere. Maybe you're dealing with addiction or someone you love is using drugs or alcohol. You probably don't want to tell people close to you that you are struggling. These experiences can leave you feeling alone, scared and misunderstood.

Do you feel powerless over your thoughts & feelings but do not know where to begin to identify the reasons you feel this way? It can feel like you have been dealing with the same issues over & over with no solution. You may have even tried different coping skills but nothing seems to get to that root cause, which I believe must be addressed. As a psychotherapist who specializes in Addiction, Trauma and PTSD I understand that we avoid many memories from the past due to pain, fear, sadness, etc. However, these memories we avoid are the reason we are feeling stuck right now.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
