Mental well-being is absolutely essential to overall wellness! There are highs and lows in life, so conflict and troubles are inevitable. You may be trying to navigate dealing with difficult people, stopping the cycle of unhealthy relationships, or healing from unjust treatment, or growing up in a non-nurturing environment to name a few. In other cases, biological, environmental, or situational factors can contribute to common mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD which impair your ability to think and feel at your best. Being understood and given the necessary tools to navigate these challenges is imperative.

Are you feeling out of control or overwhelmed in your life? Are you experiencing stress from simply existing as a person of color in America? Maybe you’re having thoughts, feelings, or sensations of fear, panic, or dread. Maybe you’re struggling to cope with it all, and are questioning your use of substances. Maybe you aren’t sure if you even “need” therapy. You may have begun avoiding certain things, or begun isolating to hide your struggles from others, which are common reactions to feeling overwhelmed by stress. If any of this is true for you, you've come to the right place.

There is a solution. There is hope. And there is healing. Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, disruption in relationships, substance abuse, and on and on. These are curable, changeable, healable issues. When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any moment in our lives that we were unsafe in some way. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we aren't able to process it, we store it.

Drug Abuse Therapists

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.

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 substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.

Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?

There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
