Sometimes we find ourselves going through the motions, not truly engaging with all that life has to offer. Many of us struggle to embrace who we are, or feel unsure of what we want our lives to mean. We may have endured painful experiences that make it difficult to enjoy our life presently. Many of my clients are folks experiencing grief, anxiety, folks who are exploring and embracing aspects of identity, adult children of alcoholics, and folks navigating recovery.

Do you want to stop drinking or using drugs? Do you have a loved one struggling with substance use? Giving up something that has been used as a coping skill can be very difficult and present many challenges. Recovering from a substance use disorder will be a journey and one that I can help you with! It can also be difficult to know how to best support a loved one who is in active addiction or just beginning the recovery process. I have been working with adults of all ages with substance use disorders since 2009 helping them navigate the process of change with an open mind, empathy and compassion.

Alcohol Use Therapists
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
