Therapy For Addictions

Therapy For Addictions

What is Addiction?

Addiction is more than a habit — it’s when something begins to feel out of your control and takes over parts of your life. Whether it’s alcohol, drugs, gambling, or even things like food, shopping, or technology, addiction can leave you feeling stuck in a cycle that’s hard to break. It’s not about weakness — it’s about how our brains and bodies become wired to seek relief or comfort, even when it comes at a cost.

Are You Struggling With…

 

  • Using alcohol, substances, or behaviors to cope with stress or emotions

  • Feeling out of control or unable to stop, even when you want to

  • Hiding or lying about your habits to loved ones

  • Strained relationships due to your use or behavior

  • Guilt, shame, or isolation tied to your addiction

  • Feeling like your addiction has taken away your sense of self, stability, or freedom

“Take back your life from addiction.”

Who is Addiction Treatment For?

 

  • Teens, adults, and seniors who feel their substance use or behaviors are taking over their lives

  • Individuals struggling with co-occurring issues, like anxiety, depression, or trauma, that fuel addictive patterns

  • Couples or families impacted by addiction, who want to heal together and rebuild trust

  • Anyone feeling trapped in a cycle of using substances or behaviors to cope, and ready to seek support

 

“It’s not about willpower, it’s about support.”

Addictions Therapy FAQs

What does addiction treatment look like?

Treatment often combines talking through the root causes of your addiction, learning new coping skills, and building healthier patterns. Therapy gives you a supportive space to process what you’re going through and develop tools that help you feel more in control.

Do I have to quit completely to start therapy?

No. You don’t have to have all the answers or be ready for major change on day one. Therapy can help you explore your relationship with your addiction, clarify your goals, and support you whether you want to reduce, stop, or better understand your behavior.

How long does treatment take?

Everyone’s journey is different. Some people benefit from short-term support, while others work with a therapist long-term as part of their recovery process. Together, we’ll create a plan that matches your needs.

What if I’ve tried to quit before and it didn’t work?

Relapse and setbacks are part of many people’s recovery journeys — they don’t mean failure. Therapy can help you understand what led to past struggles and build new strategies for moving forward.
