Addiction Therapy Services

Addiction therapy services will introduce you to some of the emotional issues that are tied up in a successful recovery. You may have been addicted for a long time or a short time; you may already have hit rock bottom or you may still be on your way down.

No two addicts are alike, and no one is promising that your recovery will happen overnight, along a neat, straight line. But there are patterns, and knowing what you can expect will help you move in the right direction, toward health and a better life, free of drugs and alcohol.

The first step to recovery is to accept that you are an alcohol or drug abuser. This admission brings with it a new identity: you are no longer someone who drinks or takes drugs, you are a person who has made a decision to take hold of your life and turn it around.

Be proud of yourself, even if you think you haven’t done much else to be proud of lately. Once you have accepted your position of addiction, you can begin the healing work to recover.

You are now a recovering person, not that other person who was mired in helplessness and hopelessness. But in exchange for using alcohol or drugs to ward off depression, guilt, and shame, and all the other genuine emotions without feeling like a “bad person”—at least that will come in time.

Welcome the feelings of pride in your recovery as a gift; they may give you some rough moments, but they are part of the rich new life you’ve just begun. Recovery is a process.
