Substance Use Counseling

Pathways from harmful dependence on a substance to wellness are as varied and unique as the people suffering from them.

We’ll work together to discover yours. Generally speaking, we tend to emphasize mindfulness and acceptance-based philosophies and support the use of medication assisted treatment approaches.

Those experiencing suffering and loss caused by drug and alcohol use, abuse and dependence (which, by the way, aren’t synonymous) may take different paths to recovery. The use of medications for some is key to sustained change and those who speak in derogatory and/or pejorative sorts of ways about medication (assisted treatments) are confused.

Change is a process,
not an event.

Here’s the thing… it’s difficult to imagine that anyone would be thrilled to find themselves seeking professional help for an addiction, whether it be for themselves or a loved one. Still others have run the gamut of addiction treatment services and providers and, perhaps, have become jaded with the process and promises.

We offer thoughtful, compassionate and research-supported addiction treatment and the same kind of care that we’d want for our own loved ones.

It’s been said that insanity is doing the same thing again and again, and expecting different results. This axiom stands true for addiction treatment as well as addictive behaviors.

If you struggle with addiction, substance abuse, or alcoholism, we can help. The first step is to schedule a brief discovery call, so that we can learn more about your needs. 973-813-5049
