Addiction Therapists in Rossville, MD.

Addictions range from alcohol and drugs to internet, money, gambling and many other challenges. Do you find yourself struggling to get back on your feet only to fall right back down on your face even harder than the last fall. You cannot do it alone. Willpower is helpful but it is not enough for many forms of addiction. It is time for you to admit that you need help and support to get to recovery.

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.

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.

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.
