Addiction Therapists in Fairland, MD.

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.

In a relaxing and productive session, you will learn how to repattern and take charge of your mind and body. We no longer use labeling words like "addict" or "alcoholic" or "relapse" or "recovery". We don't view it as an incurable disease. We teach you the psycho-social-neuro perspective of addiction. We teach terms like living optimally and re-patterning. We view permanent behavior change as a byproduct of reaching deep levels of neural patterning that change your belief system. Genetics may influence some of us but the answers to heal and live well are the same for everyone no matter who your relatives were! Learn how to live optimally and call today.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. I have helped many men and women recover from compulsive and out-of-control sexual behaviors, such as chronic masturbation and porn watching, high-risk sexual behavior, anonymous hook-ups and intimacy issues. I provide individual and group therapy that will help you cope with your urges as well as integrate healthy sexuality into your relationships.

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

We can provide supportive therapy to the recovery process, by identifying activity in the brain that have been affected by substance use (or that perhaps even caused it!), and then treating to fortify against relapse. For example, many of the superior recovery programs around the country provide alpha brainwave training, since this has proven effective at deterring recidivism; we use this extensively with the recovering population, to effect much greater outcomes. We will work collaboratively with your therapist, or provide the therapy ourselves, and encourage 12 step work, meetings (where beneficial), and brain rehabilitation, towards maximal chances of full recovery and success.
