Drug & Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Your strength is not measured by your ability to handle addiction alone, but by your courage to reach out and ask for help.

What is addiction assessment & treatment?

Has alcoholism or addiction trapped you or a loved one? A psychotherapist is not here to judge you but to support you and help you understand your struggles and identify the path to lasting wellness.

Addiction changes the brain and can destroy families, careers, and financial stability if not caught early. It can be heartbreaking.

Like diabetes, cancer and heart disease, complex factors can lead to addiction. Genetics, untreated mental health disorders, relationship conflict, and trauma can be sinister contributors. If left untreated, addiction can become more severe, disabling and potentially life-threatening.

Based on research from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 3 out 4 people recover from addiction. However, treatment and recovery can vary from person to person.

This is why it is critical that an assessment or examination of the problem occur before treatment can begin. This assessment is done by a licensed, experienced and highly skilled psychotherapist who uses a clinical interview and assessment tools to determine how care should be administered.
