Addiction Therapists in Calverton, MD.

I started out 38 years ago working mainly with addictions. One of my highest success levels is in addictions. Of-course, addiction comes in many styles and forms, but they have a lot in common. Many addictions are a poor attempt to cover up something one is wanting to run or hide from. It does not take long to find that out by just listening to you. Then we go to work resolving that hang-up. I have learned the power of listening, it, in and of itself is a great healer.

How do you use alcohol? Often people questioning addiction, binging or dependence need more information. I provide psycho-education and assessment to help you understand how drinking too much might be a problem in your life. Did you know drinking is often a way to escape and withdraw from feeling or coping with stress? Call me today if you would like to talk and learn more.

Addiction is an intense yearning to again and again experience the effects of repeating a behavior or using a substance. Whether it is alcohol addiction or internet addiction, the loss of control and the constant cravings affect one’s physical health, emotional well-being, and social life.

One of Robyn's areas of specialty is working with people with a history of trauma, both large and small. Trauma can result from many causes, including abandonment, experiences of violence, witnessed or perceived violence, chronic neglect, and emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Individuals who have experienced trauma may experience feeling anxious, panicky, or depressed, or develop relationship problems and alcohol and/or substance use problems. Robyn treats co-occurring disorders, as well as underlying causes. In treating trauma, Robyn emphasizes safety and boundaries and works at a pace that suits the client's needs. She believes in the fundamental importance of the mind-body connection in h....

To help you manage addictive behaviors and dependence on any mood altering substances, we will start with reviewing the history of your addictive behavior and the impact it has on your relationships, health, employment, and functioning. Sometimes addictive substances or behaviors have served to mask underlying sources of pain, such as mood instability, anxiety, relationship stressors, or emptiness and loss of meaning. These underlying factors can be addressed in psychotherapy along with learning new resources for managing addictive behaviors, such as educational lectures, family therapy, 12 step groups, and/or referral to a medical doctor for medication that aids your overall recovery.

Many people attempt to avoid painful issues by taking pills, powders, or liquids and then waiting for the desired effect - an alteration of their consciousness. There are more positive ways to alter consciousness without turning to alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex, television, work, or any other activity that when used to excess, has a destructive impact on your life. Learning to change your mood by healthier more active methods involves some effort and motivation on your part but recovery from addiction is possible. We have experienced substance abuse professionals to help you make the changes you want to make

I have co-run an addiction program serving people with alcohol and drug problems. I have often found that people are self medicating when they are using drugs, covering other problems such as anxiety or depression. In these cases both the addiction and underlying problems need to be addressed. I specialize in relapse prevention. Living one day at a time is what we all need to be doing.

Life can present you with difficult situations which are hard to process and move past. These challenges are not on your timeline and affect everything. Having worked in many healthcare settings, I am familiar navigating life-changing events and grief. I understand the territory of encountering loss, coping with trauma, the complexity of the medical system and living with illness. These issues can have ripple effects on your relationships, sense of self and perceptions of the world. I know how complex things can get, and I will support you during this process.

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.

At Counseling Solutions, LLC, I treat substance abuse utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and 12-Step Principles. Individuals who are experiencing life problems due to their alcohol or drug use are appropriate for these types of outpatient, weekly therapy. The substance use may be impairing relationships, job performance, health, or a general sense of well-being. For those who require detoxification due to withdrawal symptoms, it is essential that a period of closely monitored inpatient treatment and/or a period of residential treatment be completed prior to outpatient therapy

I will meet you where you are, help you to identify choices, and assist you in moving towards the best options for you. You will begin to experience more freedom in your life than ever before.

Addictions can take many forms, but they all have one thing in common; addiction destroys relationships and creates intense loneliness. Most often, our addictions begin as a way to soothe our pain or turn down the “noise” in our minds. Soon, that short-lived relief is nowhere to be found and we become desperate for the next hit, high, drink, fling, etc. If you or your partner are struggling with an addiction and don’t know where to turn, you’re not alone. Call today and let’s start finding the way back.

I trained for several years at an inpatient drug and alcohol treatment facility. I have struggled with my own "process" addictions (not substance-related), so I empathize without judging or expecting others to do things my way. Before working with addiction issues, it's important to assess whether you're a good fit for outpatient counseling. If you actively struggle with alcohol or hard drugs, you may need to go to inpatient rehab for treatment or a detox center. However, if you just need some support and accountability in your recovery, I am happy to help with that.

I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.

Addiction takes many forms but follows a very familiar pattern. Do you know how to understand your addiction cycle? Our addiction counselors go beyond traditional recovery models by providing you with specific and relevant counseling that will target the most important part of your emotional cycle with addiction. Many people can't recover successfully by themselves and getting support for recovery from addiction is very important. We look forward to speaking with you and are glad to offer a free consult.

Recovering from addiction requires support, commitment, motivation and time. Committing to sobriety involves changes in how you think about yourself, and how you deal with stress and relationships. I believe treatment should address your specific needs and focus on more than the addiction. Success also depends on addressing the reasons for the addiction. I use a comprehensive and holistic approach that also helps you: enhance your motivation to participate in treatment; develop strategies for coping with cravings; learn skills to avoid and prevent relapse; learn to develop a healthier life-style; and address other health problems such as depression or anxiety. I also provide and recommend additional services such as support groups and group therapy,...(view profile to read more)

When we repeatedly experience difficult emotions which we don't know how to healthily work through we often develop compulsive/addictive cycles as a way of trying to survive. Sometimes these cycles go unnoticed for a long time. And sometimes these compulsive cycles become very destructive. Either way, the good news is that we are capable of changing (though we can't do it alone). I would be honored to help you work through the underlying struggles that are fueling your compulsive cycles, so that you can experience more freedom, peace and joy in your life and relationships.

Are you wondering if your use of alcohol and/or other chemical substances is beginning to take control of your life? Chances are you started drinking or using so that you could cope with life, but now you're finding that it's getting harder and harder to cope. It can be overwhelming to think about quitting and staying quit. I can help you to assess your chemical use and decide what, if any, changes you need to make. I also offer an ear acupuncture treatment that lessens cravings and withdrawal symptoms while also helping to manage depression and anxiety.
