Are you going through a tough time? Are you so full of anxiety that you find it challenging to navigate through the day? Parents, do you have a child that is struggling to focus at school or control their emotions? Are you hesitant to talk to somebody for fear of being judged? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Starting a journey in therapy can be scary, however it might just be the best decision of your life. Through experience, I've come to learn that there is nothing more comforting than hearing the words “I understand, I’ve been there or I can relate.”

“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going" (Shpancer, Ph.D.). Each of us is on a personal journey striving to be our best selves. Sometimes, these journeys can leave us feeling unequipped to navigate their rough terrain. For most, this is the human experience. While we can't escape the realities and emotions of this experience, we can certainly learn more effective ways to cope. We can find ways to be gentler, more loving, and kinder to ourselves so that we may share this with our loved ones and our community.

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.
