* AVAILABLE EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS* The life you envisioned for yourself is not the life that you are living. You feel anxious at work/school, and you are struggling with finding your meaning in life. You wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety that life is "passing you by," or you struggle to find your own meaning in your life instead of living the life that others want. When you come home from work you watch TV or game until you fall asleep.

You don't have to continue feeling overwhelmed and drowning. Don't give up, give yourself permission to seek help. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but know that it's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength and courage.

Life is full of challenges and opportunities to grow. When we feel safe and secure enough to be honest with ourselves and others about what we are experiencing and what we truly value, we are more likely to be able to overcome challenges and live a more fulfilling and peaceful life. Most of us want authentic meaningful relationships, to embrace all that life has to offer, to be able to manage and learn from mistakes and difficult times, and to live a life that we can one day look back on and feel content and proud. However, often we find ourselves feeling stuck or lost along that journey and in need of some support and connection.

Substance Use 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.
