Substance Abuse Counselling

When the quantity and frequency of substance abuse increase, drug addiction or dependence develop, and addicts to drugs or alcohol feel powerless to resist the need to use. They frequently go through severe withdrawal symptoms when the drug or alcohol is suddenly taken away.

For instance, physiological dependence on alcohol leads to alcoholism, and people who are addicted run the risk of getting sick if they abruptly quit drinking. Additionally, people may become psychologically addicted to substances and keep using them, especially in stressful situations or to treat other psychological issues.

Some people refuse to acknowledge or are ignorant that they have an addiction issue, and occasionally a person’s drug misuse and addiction are kept a secret.

The main factors that contribute to addiction are genetics and environmental agents. Individuals’ genetic make-up may predispose them to compulsive behaviour, sensation-seeking behaviour, and addiction. Life compelled by trauma, stress, and early contact with addictive drugs all have an impact on a person’s susceptibility to addiction.

Addiction treatment has to be handled individually. It must be customized to meet your demands. As your substance abuse counsellor, I will develop a specialized treatment strategy that may involve medication-assisted treatment, group therapy, or individual therapy.

I provide security settings intended to assist you in cleansing your body. Detox, however, is not the end of therapy. I will instruct other constructive coping mechanisms, stress-relieving methods, and success-oriented abilities.

Remember that it takes time to recover from substance addiction and dependence, but with my help, everything will appear simple. By working with you in the transition process, you will get ready for addiction-free life within the shortest time possible. Using psychology, we delve into how to comprehend the origin of addictions, face them, overcome them, and heal from them.
