Being a young adult can feel overwhelming! You’re figuring out who you are, making big decisions about your future, and trying to balance work, relationships, and self-care. If you’re also dealing with anxiety, it can feel like your mind never stops running: constant worry, racing thoughts, trouble relaxing, or feeling pressure to always do more. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and therapy can help.

Engaging in psychotherapy asks an openness to both speak and listen - to share personal struggles, victories, history, needs, and concerns; and to receive feedback and support. Some patients come to therapy to work on specific issues, while others possess a broader interest in self-exploration - and ideally, therapy attends to both. It also makes and explores many and various connections: between specific issues and larger patterns; between self and others (i.e., relationships - including between therapist and patient!); between past, present, and future; between thinking, feeling, and behavior; between body, mind, and spirit.

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.
