Top addiction therapists in 78947: Lexington, TX.

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.

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.
