If you are looking for help for a family member, you can make a huge difference in your loved one's substance use and treatment.
Do you or a loved one struggle with drinking or drug use? Are you living day-to-day with no real hope for the future? Have you turned to other unhealthy habits- food, gambling, toxic relationships? Have you tried therapy or treatment in the past and walked away feeling worse than when you started?

Relationships are hard and heartbreak is even harder. Every day you feel like you are drifting further and further away from your partner. You avoid conversation at times because you don't know what to say, and when you do talk you both seem irritated at each other or end up in an argument. You no longer feel seen or heard and at the same time have difficulty being there for your partner. You miss the joy, laughter and physical connection you had in the beginning. .

Substance Use Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
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 substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
