Substance Use + Abuse
Lean into wellness + away from dependence
Finding it hard to cope with stressful events or situations without the aid of substances can lead down a path of physical, mental and sometimes legal consequences. It’s difficult to admit that you need help. Especially if you feel that others are not having the same difficulties from substance use as you are. Seeking therapy to address your substance use or abuse is nothing to be ashamed about. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. To know you can’t do it alone and ask for help is a sure indication of the courage within you.
The proliferation of advertisements, legalization, and entertainment-based discussions of substance use or abuse can inaccurately normalize the crushing impact it can have on your life. According to recent data, over 20 million people were diagnosed with a substance use disorder in 2022. Sadly, only 10% of those individuals received treatment. You may have an increased need to acquire, use, or recover from substance use. The people who care about you are voicing concern. Difficulty completing daily tasks or focusing at work or school. These are some common signs that it’s time to take action.
Our trained therapist will use evidence based interventions to help you understand the root of your substance use, develop coping strategies to manage daily or difficult situations. Finally, you’ll create a plan that you can lean into as you step into sobriety, seeing the restoration of your 4 pillars of wellness!
I’m concerned my substance use will be shared with others, like my boss or loved ones
