Addiction Therapists in Dedham, MA.

Addictions can involve substances, like alcohol or drugs, or behaviors, such as gambling or sex//pornography. Addictions destroy the quality of life of the addict's friends, family and work colleagues, and lead to the emotional, spiritual, even physical, death of the addict him/herself. They are very widespread and very serious. The good news: once addictive behavior ends, improvement starts almost immediately. An experienced addictions counselor will assess whether an addict needs detox, an intensive rehab /recovery group, a 12-step group, or individual counseling. Counseling can also help the families of addicts recover from the damage of living with addiction.

In my addiction counseling practice, I use a combination of evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help clients understand the root causes of their substance use and develop effective strategies for recovery. My approach focuses on relapse prevention, coping skills development, and building a strong support network. By addressing both the psychological and physiological aspects of addiction, I help clients achieve long-term sobriety and a healthier lifestyle.

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161.

I work with clients to contemplate their sobriety from an addiction, build a daily structure and support network if sobriety is their goal, create a toolbox of coping skills to combat cravings, educate clients about the cycle of addiction, help them acknowledge their ambiguity or conflict about being sober, and recreating a new story of their lives as a person in recovery.
