When people think about the word addiction, the most common thought is about drugs or substance. But we can experience addiction to anything, including pornography, computer games, shopping, gambling, even things that normally represent positive things such as exercising or working. People suffering from addiction may have a brain chemistry that is hardwired that way. But sometimes addictions come about as a maladaptive response to a trauma or an event in a person's life. Part of therapy is to help determine the cause of the addiction and then to find the appropriate modality to treat it.

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.

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 facilitate groups of men and women who are in local treatment centers at Wind Horse Hill Healer's Retreat and Training Center where we have the opportunity to work with horses in a beautiful, relaxing Hill Country setting. We also provide programming for families with an addicted member. Learning ways to deepen insight, improve communication, set strong flexible boundaries and enjoy leaning into a morning or afternoon of self care proves for an empowering opportunity for growth and healing.

Are you struggling with an addiction? Maybe your loved one or friend is struggling with addiction and you feel helpless to stop it. Have you or your loved one tried to quit numerous times only to relapse and fall off the wagon? Maybe you have a sincere desire, but can't seem to take the first step. I can't do that for you, but I can help you or your loved one identify triggers and patterns that make the process of recovery more difficult. I mix compassion with a challenging style to help clients (or their loved ones) become more successful in recovery.

Overcoming addiction requires a multi-faceted approach to treatment. Part of my job is to help you access resources and to hold you accountable as you take the necessary steps to freedom. In addition, I will help you examine underlying issues that predispose you to addictive tendencies and help you as you recalibrate your life to one that takes you in the direction of health and freedom. I will support you and encourage you every step of the way. I will also speak directly to you when and if you are not doing your part.

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.
