High functioning but questioning your relationship with alcohol or drug use? Concerned friends, family, or employer? Checking into a program may create additional stress and even be unnecessary. Whether you're struggling with a recent event or an ongoing situation, I encourage a thoughtful personalized approach. I specialize in harm reduction and moderation management, so if your drinking is problematic but not "alcoholic", this may be right for you. Ambulatory opiate detox and out of state or criminal justice assessment services available. Confidentiality is assured with a discrete private office or secure video sessions.
Tough love and aggressive confrontation are outdated and ineffective. My strength based approach to relapse prevention is based on 25 years of personal and clinical experience with addiction focused treatment. Ask me about the difference between "Individualized" and "personalized" treatment", you deserve it. . "Recovery on your own terms".
Don't wait for a better time, delays in treating active Substance Use can have catastrophic results. The good news is that with the right plan, things should improve pretty quickly. Make this sobriety effort permanent instead of more wishful thinking. Call me for a free 20 minute consultation and we can design a plan for "Your Success".
