Addiction Therapists in Shelter Island, NY.

I work well with many types of addictions, from substance (legal or not) to behavioral (sexual, gaming, etc.). The areas in which I am most successful with clients are in mild to moderate substance addictions and mild to severe behavioral addictions. But as always, the client must be willing to take my suggestions for rapid results, or be thoughtful about any insights I may give to them until ready to take the suggestions.

Working with a lot of DUI (now considered OUI) populations as the lead therapist at a major outpatient center, I learned very quickly the causes of most forms of addiction. Today's science offers a strong correlation between biology and the propensity towards abusing substances and the interventions we now use have greatly improved along with the science.

Addiction issues include drugs and alcohol. They may also include sex, food, internet, and many other behavioral addictions. Those seeking addiction help may contact me, and I will let you know if your situation is something I can help with. If it is, we can proceed to schedule a first appointment. If it is not, I will help get you set up with another therapist who does the specific addiction work you require.

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.

The cycle of addiction is dizzying to the addict and it creates what I calling "doing" some forward movement in growth. And undoing. The old (by now probably moldy) undoing). The trapdoor for the addict is you know the drug offers relief. And since you live only in the hear and now (emotional and physical pain can cause that feeling) you want the instant relief that it seems only the drug gives you. My job is to gently and sometimes not so gently dispel you of this massive myth. What you really need is to learn to slow down by substitution of behaviors. It will be clearer when we meet.

Having worked in the addiction counseling and psychotherapy field has allowed me to become a certified alcohol and addiction counselor (CASAC) where I offer treatment for substance abuse understanding individuals who suffer from addiction and their families who also might be suffering. I have helped many clients find treatment help whether its in Westchester or Putnam County partnering with substance abuse rehabs and other treatment providers. Often the client likes to talk about their struggles or a family member might call for an intervention. Call to discuss your needs.
