Substance Abuse and Behavioral Addiction Counseling Orlando

Substance Abuse and Behavioral Addiction Counseling Orlando. For many freedom from substance and behavioral abuse and addiction seems hopeless. You feel like your drowning and cannot save yourself from your own self.

Alcohol and drugs are most often used as a coping mechanism and a way to avoid painful feelings. Many clients coping with substance abuse issues are unwilling or do not have the skill set to understand the driving factors for their ongoing use. There are hundreds of reasons why a person might be abusing substances. These are also influences for behavioral addiction.

As your therapist I will work with you to get to the core issues of why you feel the need to “numb out” and avoid your feelings. It’s important for me to help educate you and those affected by your addiction as it relates to aiding and supporting the addict. Real change will occur when everyone recognizes the driving factors of the addiction. I will equip you with the tools you need to cope with stress, cravings, triggers, depression, or trauma without turning to drugs or alcohol.
