Top addiction therapists in Aksarben Village, Omaha.

Steve Brownrigg has developed his unique and truly "evidence based" approach to the treatment of Addictions and Substance Use Disorders. It involves guided, deep assessment of what clients have been trying to gain through the use of substances, and then devising replacement strategies that work better in their lives. Steve also encourages and facilitates 12-Step involvement to enhance the learning process. Treatment also involves learning new coping skills, creating new behaviors and adding supportive relationships in their lives. If necessary, Trauma Resolution is a frequent last phase of therapy. Unresolved Trauma is a frequent cause of repeated failure to maintain quality recovery.

Addiction finds a foothold in our lives most easily when we are trying to avoid dealing with something difficult. It could be an avoidance of dealing with stress from work, an avoidance of processing a tragedy in our lives, or an avoidance of intimacy in relationships. In counseling, we can expect to talk about specific ways to deal with addiction, such as avoiding triggers, having a back-up plan, etc., and we can also expect to discuss what the role of this addiction is in your life, and what it is helping you to avoid. It is only through dealing with those difficult situations in life in a direct, healthy way that addiction can be replaced with something real.
