Addiction COUNSELING

---

 Addiction is everywhere in our society. It’s time to break the stigma and take shame out of the equation.

Whether it's drugs or alcohol, gambling, or other risky behaviors, working with a skilled counselor can empower you to see the impact of your addiction and regain control of your life.

Drugs or alcohol dependency can manifest in many forms, in ways you might never suspect. 

Drug and/or alcohol addiction symptoms and behaviors include, among others:

• Feeling the need to use the drug regularly, which can be daily or multiple times a day
• Having intense urges for the drug
• Over time, needing more of the drug to get the same effect
• Making certain that you maintain a supply of the drug
• Not meeting obligations and work responsibilities
• Doing things you wouldn’t normally do to get the drug, such as stealing
• Focusing more and more time and energy on getting and using the drug
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using the drug
• Failed attempts to quit using the drug

If you can relate to any of the above symptoms or behaviors, it may 

be time to consider addiction counseling.

More often than not, drug addictions start with experimental use of a drug in social situations. And for some people, drug use becomes more frequent. As time passes, a person may feel the need to use more of a drug to get their desired high, and soon a person may need the drug to simply feel “good.”

When we see this happen to a loved one, we do everything we can to help. But sometimes, our unconditional love simply isn’t enough.

Signs and symptoms of recent use include:

• Feeling of exhilaration and excess confidence
• Increased alertness
• Increased energy and restlessness
• Behavior changes or aggression
• Rapid or rambling speech
• Dilated pupils
• Delusions and hallucinations
• Irritability or changes in mood

If your loved one comes to mind with any of the above symptoms and behaviors, it may be time to consider addiction counseling.
