Addiction Therapists in Wadsworth, OH.

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.

I can help provide information about addiction, encourage utilization of resources, such as AA and social supports, engagement in healthy alternatives to your addiction, and am happy to work with you as you engage in the process of recovery and relapse prevention. Many people with addiction relapse and do not stay on track because they stop working with their therapist or engagement in their recovery plan. It is important to work with a therapist to help stay on track and give yourself the best chance of success.

I am licensed as an Independent Chemical Dependency counselor in the State of Ohio.

I have a great deal of experience with working with person dealing with alcohol and drug addiction and abuse. My approach with these clients I am firm about the need for them to attend either AA or NA and work with the Big Book and the 12 step program. I have also used hypnotherapy and EMDR habit control approach. Working with underlying issues may be appropriate and we look at spouses and family members who may be enabling the person’s addiction. I encourage spouses of persons addicted to attend Alanon and for teen aged children of the addicted person to attend Alateen. If a person is not progressing witht the above interventions, I next would recommend an Intense Out patient Pr

Addiction takes many forms such as substance abuse, gambling, relationships, internet, sexual, spending, etc. Counseling helps treat these addictions by not only addressing the specific problems, but by also addressing the mental or behavioral disorders. A lot of times these mental health issues can cause an addict to end up relapsing. Counseling allows people to get an outside perspective in order to work on issues that may hold them back from achieving lifetime sobriety.
