Addictions can take over your life and the lives of your loved ones. Addictions counseling can help you to beat the addiction and prevent relapses. It will help you treat the underlying mental health conditions that contribute to the addiction. Addictions are often used as a way to escape or as a way to cope with pre-existing issues such as unresolved trauma, dysfunctional childhood (I.e. abuse, neglect, etc.) low self-esteem, troubles in tolerating certain life circumstances or factors, understanding and expressing emotions and so on.

We’ll help you live your life free from barriers

Addictions Counseling Can Help with:

- Alcohol
- Drugs (prescription and other)
- Smoking

Addictions are often tied to coping with intolerable feelings such as anxiety, stress, pain and loneliness. Addictions are usually a way to escape from all of these things and life in general. There are lots of feelings of shame and loneliness connected to addictions. This can perpetuate the abuse cycle causing individuals to further desire to numb out these additional feelings. Even if temporarily, as addictions provide only unsustainable and “dangerous relief”.

Factors that Could Precipitate a Relapse:

- Stress
- Environmental cues, for example everyone at work going for a smoke break,
- Social groups, Friends, family, acquaintances or people who are still addicted
