Substance Use Treatment
Is your substance use getting out of control?
It can be difficult to admit that your substance use is a problem, and it may seem easier to continue to pretend that it’s not. You may be realizing that no matter how much you want to deny it, things are getting worse, and it’s getting harder and harder to hold it together. You may be avoiding talking to your friends and family about your substance use because you feel embarrassed or ashamed to admit that you have a problem, or maybe you feel that they just won’t understand your struggle with substance use. Trying and failing to control your use is frustrating, and repeatedly promising yourself that you’ll stop using leaves you feeling guilty and ashamed when you continue to use.

Acknowledging that you have a substance use problem can be incredibly difficult to admit, even to yourself. Or maybe you don’t think you have a problem but your family does.

However, the reality is that most people with substance use problems can hide their substance use and be fully functional, until they are not.
What does substance use treatment look like?
In therapy, you’ll learn to identify and heal past emotional wounds that have continued to cause you pain.
