I've had the pleasure of working with some of the world's leading names in various traumas, addictions, depression, and anxiety.
You feel worthless. No matter what you do, you can't shake what happened to you. You feel that what has happened is your fault. If only you had done something different or if only you weren't who you are. You feel completely alone and that no one understands you. You feel like there is something inherently wrong with you. You keep striving for perfection, trying to please everyone, and you try so hard to pretend that everything is okay, but you just can't hold it together anymore. It has finally caught up to you. You don't know how you got to this place but you know you want so much more.

Let's face it, life is stressful. Sometimes emotions, thoughts, or behaviors can get in the way between where we are and where we want to be. Maybe your child is acting out and you've run out of ideas on how to make peace in your home again. Maybe you feel alone and overwhelmed because your partner is using again and you’re barely holding it together. Maybe you’re being bullied online and wonder if what they’re saying is true. Maybe you have trouble connecting with others in relationships because of memories and hurts inflicted by others. Maybe you feel confused and misunderstood and are struggling to find your own identity.

What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
