Addiction cannot be overcome simply by knowing what it is or acknowledging its presence in your life. Nor can it be squashed by sheer will power. Many of our clients say they have felt that they could "just handle this by themselves," but once they reached out to us and got the help they needed, they realized that even if you can "just handle this alone," no one, including you, should ever have to. By reaching out to us, you are stating you are ready to bring balance back to your life.

It isn't just the addict that is affected and needs help. The family, spouse or partner of the addict are naturally and deeply affected. At Mindful Centers, we are trained to understand the needs of the family members, and to identify and treat coexisting issues of trauma and neglect.

We offer Individual counseling, couple's counseling, group counseling, partner support, recovery coaching, intensive workshops and our individualized Mandala Program (intensive treatment for sex and drug addiction)
