Addiction Therapists in Grass Lake, MI.

We use a client centered approach, supplementing individual therapy with family treatment and group therapy as appropriate. We address substance abuse and other addictions, and have therapists who have completed certificates in sexual health. We are in the process of becoming certified for gambling addiction treatment through the State of Michigan. For opiate and other substance addictions, we work closely with a medical doctor who treats addictions. We have offered alternatives to traditional Intensive Outpatient Programs, creating individualized intensive treatment programs utilizing individual, family and group treatment.

I recognize that the most important aspect to an effective therapeutic treatment is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. Through this collaborative approach, the client and I identify their strengths and build on these characteristics through therapy. We identify areas in the individuals’ life which are not useful or producing an undesirable outcome-such as self-destructive behavior, poor communication skills, etc.

Addictions can make you behave in a way that is unlike your normal nature and cause multiple problems with family, school, work, social and spiritual aspects of life. When you are stuck in addictive thoughts and behaviors recovery can seem impossible. I have extensive training and experience in substance addictions, including opiate addictions. Therapy is often needed to learn coping skills to maintain long term recovery of addictions. My approach is warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and will compel you to desire lasting change in your life.

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.

There are many benefits of drug addiction counseling. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, behavioral therapies like drug addiction counseling are the most commonly used forms of drug abuse treatment. Counseling can help those who are addicted to drugs in a number of ways and can be used alone or with another type of drug addiction treatment, such as medication. If you are someone who is currently addicted to drugs and wants to stop using drugs because your life is unmanageable, it is important for you to understand that drug addiction counseling is going to be a part of your recovery.

I have been a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor for nearly 20 years. I have worked with clients who were addicted to a wide variety of substances and often to more than one substance. I believe in the effectiveness of the 12 Step programs but sometimes more individualized interventions are needed to help a client achieve and maintain recovery for life.
