Addiction comes to steal, kill and destroy. Addiction can render a person feeling powerless, lost and empty. The good news is there is help for addiction. The 12 steps in conjunction with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are an avenue that many people have found to escape the grip of addiction. Through counseling the individual will learn that there is help, how to access help and that they are not alone in struggle.

Pornography is one of the most addictive substances on the planet. Like marijuana it is a gateway activity leading to all kinds of destructive sexual habits. Like cocaine, pornography is itself addictive and destructive to your brain, to your relationships, and to your spirit. I am passionate about helping teenage and adult men find freedom from the guilt, shame, and compulsion of pornography viewing. Initially, it may seem impossible to imagine a life free from pornography, but it is possible and the rewards are incredible.

Dependence on chemicals (such as alcohol or drugs) or behaviors (such as sex, gambling, spending, etc) can begin to limit our choices in life. When the line is crossed to dependency or addiction, there is a hopeless and frustrating feeling that will come over us. Please understand that there is a way through this and you do not have to continue to suffer. If your use of the drugs, alcohol or behavior is costing you, know that there is a solution and counseling will help you figure out a plan to address the issue.

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.

Addiction is a mental health condition and I treat addiction by a multi-pronged process predominately from a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) model. I help my clients understand the reasons they use a substance or engage in an addictive behavior, teach them skills regulate their emotions and tolerance distress that might otherwise lead them to engage in their addiction, and address any underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. I also help clients with with concerns about their substance use or compulsive behavior to avoid developing addictions.

Helping clients to identify what they are seeking from and or getting out of their addiction is one of the main goals in my practice. Once clients are able to identify this they can better understand the motivation behind continuing to use. The next step is to help clients to create a "new life" or version of themselves that allows for more balance and enjoyment.

In addiction counseling, my approach focuses on a holistic and client-centered perspective, emphasizing personal empowerment and long-term recovery. I believe in addressing addiction as a complex interplay of psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual factors. I work with clients to get to the root cause of their addiction, identity triggers, and develop strategies for change. Utilizing cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, I assist clients in developing self -awareness, building healthy skills, and cultivating ways to express the impact.

Dr. Vasavada specializes in addiction psychiatry. He also treats suboxone patients. Lakeside Life Center has therapists that work with adults and adolescents dealing with alcohol and chemical dependency. There is also a therapist that treats sexual addiction, love addiction and codependency. Our goal is to treat not only the individual but help the entire family system to recover and heal.

As a therapist who has worked with both teens and adults with substance use disorders and addiction for years, I can say I truly enjoy being a part of the healing that takes place in recovery. Addiction is still one of the most stigmatized mental health issues, and still somehow seen as a personal flaw more so than a brain process. Healing from addiction requires someone that has the experience to know when to empathize, and when to challenge and it takes a therapist with a ton of patience and compassion to be comfortable reaching into the darkest parts. Addiction is not your fault, but recovery becomes your responsibility and it helps to have an ally willing to go there with you.
