Addiction Treatment 
Relapse Prevention

Are you questioning whether or not  you have a problem with alcohol or drugs? Are you hearing from others that care that they are worried about you?  Have you told yourself you can stop anytime but find it not possible? Are you drinking more than you should and afraid to admit it ?  If so, you are not alone. Abuse and dependence happens to about 8 to 10 percent of the population.

 

Addiction does not discriminate. It can happen to the best and smartest of people .

2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) collected information on past month alcohol use, binge alcohol use, and heavy alcohol use. For men, binge alcohol use is defined in NSDUH as drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past 30 days. For women, binge drinking is defined as drinking four or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past 30 days. Heavy alcohol use is defined as binge drinking on 5 or more days in the past 30 days. In 2016, 136.7 million Americans aged 12 or older reported current use of alcohol, including 65.3 million who reported binge alcohol use in the past month and 16.3 million who reported heavy alcohol use in the past month.

In 2016, 28.6 million people aged 12 or older used an illicit drug in the past 30 days, which corresponds to about 1 in 10 Americans overall (10.6 percent) but ranges as high as 1 in 4 for young adults aged 18 to 25. 

 

 

Do you or someone you know have a problem and not know where to start? Is your life unmanageable and are you ready to get help? Maybe you have made a decision to stop using ? Are you newly sober and finding it  difficult to manage your cravings? Do you have a support system ? I will help you develop an individualized recovery and relapse prevention plan.

The more support you have increases your success and ability to have long term sobriety . I am supportive of any additional tools including non addictive medication assistance, 12 steps support groups or CBT support groups such as Smart Recovery.
