You don’t feel like a badass. You don’t feel empowered, free, inspired, joyful, or aligned. It all feels “off.” You can’t seem to do anything “right” or be “enough” for yourself or anyone for that matter. You feel “weird,” “different,” and like you give more than you get. You feel like you need to change everything, but don’t have the energy to change anything. So you’ve stayed stuck. You're a good friend, but when it's time to get your needs met, others fall short. You've gotten bitter, resentful, and isolated often thinking "what's the point?" You try so hard, so why are your relationships suffering?

Living life on life’s terms with our own unique experiences can bring on different levels of stress at any given time. If it has come to a point where the quality of your relationships, school and/or work performance has suffered or declined it might be time to get some outside help. Sometimes it’s a matter of not understanding how our past experiences have affected us, not being able to define what ‘safe’ is, or what a healthy relationship even looks like. This can certainly contribute to our unhealthy habits and behaviors and leave us feeling hopeless and helpless.

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.
