Addiction Therapists in Edgewater, MD.

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.

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.
