Is Recovery Possible?

Navigating the journey of substance use and addiction can be challenging, but with the right support, recovery is possible. Our therapy services are tailored to help adults struggling with substance use and addiction to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. We offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach that addresses the unique needs and circumstances of each individual.

Symptoms of Addiction

Recognizing the signs of addiction is crucial for seeking help early. Symptoms can vary, but common indicators include:

• Increased Tolerance: Needing more of the substance to achieve the same effects as before.
• Withdrawal Symptoms: Experiencing physical or emotional symptoms when not using the substance, such as anxiety, sweating, shaking, nausea, or irritability.
• Loss of Control: Using more of the substance or for longer periods than intended, or being unable to cut down or stop despite efforts.
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Failing to meet obligations at work, home, or school due to substance use.
• Continued Use Despite Problems: Persisting in substance use despite knowing it's causing physical, emotional, or relational issues.
• Social Withdrawal: Isolating yourself from friends, family, or activities that were once important to you.
• Risky Behaviors: Engaging in dangerous activities while under the influence.
• Preoccupation with Substance Use: Spending a significant amount of time obtaining, using, or recovering from the effects of the substance.
• Cravings: Experiencing strong urges or cravings to use the substance.
• Physical Changes: Notable changes in appearance, such as weight loss or gain, poor hygiene, or unusual body odor.
