Life can be hard, especially when what used to make it bearable just doesn't cut it anymore. The fact is that addiction is complicated. It is messy, tricky, and heavily stigmatized. I'm here to provide you with empathy, suggestions, and stability. In short, counseling. You've come this far, so consider taking that leap and giving something else a try. Recovery doesn't start with stopping. Recovery starts when you wonder if there's another way. I provide drug and alcohol addiction counseling as well as Department of Transportation SAP services. Call me for a free consultation and see if I'm a good fit for you.

You are overwhelmed with all the responsibilities on your place. You love your family but you seem to be impatient with them all the time. You don't spend as much time with them as you'd like, and when you are together, you feel disconnected. Work is a drag. You don't love it like you used to. You miss having time with friends. You're trying to take steps to care for yourself, but it seems like whenever you do something good for you, it takes away from your other responsibilities in a way that makes everything worse. You want change in your life, you just don't know where to start. And you're ready for help.

Alcohol Use Therapists

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?

There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
