Substance Use & Recovery
We offer outpatient substance use counseling for people who are questioning their relationship with alcohol or another substance. We also work with people in recovery who want help with the feelings and patterns behind their substance use. You don't need a label to start, and you can come in at whatever stage you're at.
Who It's For
Our substance use counseling is outpatient psychotherapy, and we don't provide detox, medical withdrawal management, medication-assisted treatment or an intensive outpatient program. Withdrawal from alcohol and some other substances can be medically dangerous and needs a physician's care.
When a higher level of care is the safer choice, we'll be upfront about it and help you weigh your options.
We start by looking at what the substance does for you and what could take its place. From there, sessions may draw on DBT skills for distress and urges and CBT for the moments when you decide whether to use. ACT helps you build a life that fits your values, and we add trauma therapy when trauma is what the substance has been helping you cope with.
We work with whatever recovery framework you're using, whether that's a twelve-step program, SMART Recovery or no program at all.
