I have had much success working to help those wanting to change their relationship with substances; though my approach is rather challenging and not what you will typically find. I push individuals to confront themselves and to take full responsibility for their choices and the consequences.
Addiction is something which I have several years of experience treating. People are often surprised to learn that treatment for substance abuse is not at all what they thought it would be. Typically, those with severe addictions will require a lifetime goal of sobriety while those with more mild addictions may acquire the ability to practice “controlled use” of chemicals. We will do a careful assessment of your symptoms so that effective goals for treatment can be established.
Emerging adulthood can be a difficult and distressing time.

Hence, it’s no coincidence that there are high numbers of young adults using drugs and suffering from mental health challenges.
