Top addiction therapists in 44851: New London, OH.

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.
