ADDICTION TREATMENT
YOUR DRINKING HAS REALLY BECOME A PROBLEM.
YOu CAN’T STOP DRINKING TOO MUCH DESPITE THE NEGATIVE IMPACT IT HAS ON YOUR HEALTH, CAREER, AND RELATIONSHIPS.
MARIJUANA USAGE IS KILLING YOUR PRODUCTIVITY AND MOTIVATION.
YOUR PORN ADDICTION IS INCREASING YOUR SHAME. YOU'RE ASHAMED OF YOUR PORN ADDICTION. IT'S ROBBING YOU OF YOUR ABILITY TO HAVE A HEALTHY, INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP.
Addiction is a destructive and vicious trap that can negatively impact your life in so many different ways. As your addiction grew, so did feelings of despair, isolation, and pain. To make matters worse, you have been on the receiving end of hurtful criticism from your friends and family. They say that your addiction is simply the result of some kind of moral failing on your part. Maybe they've told you that if you were more disciplined or prayed more that you would not have issues with addiction. As a counselor who has years of experience working with addiction, I know these statements are not true. Addiction is a biological, psychological, and social force of nature that cannot be overcome overnight through will power or prayer.
Common Signs of Addiction include:
Craving the high you feel when using,
You find yourself always wanting more alcohol, drugs, or porn
Wanting to cut down or stop using but not managing to be able to
Using more or drinking more than you mean to,
Neglecting other parts of your life because of your substance use or your addiction
Being distracted because you're thinking about drinking, using, or porn
Continuing to use even when it causes problems in your relationships
Using substances or engaging in risky sexual behavior, even when it puts you in danger
AT VITUS COUNSELING I PROVIDE ADDICTION Treatment FOR ADULTS STRUGGLING WITH ALCOHOLISM, MARIJUANA ABUSE, AND PORN ADDICTION
Perhaps you have a high-stress job. When your workday ends, you find yourself headed straight to the bar, or home to smoke some weed. You find yourself wanting to cut back or to quit using alcohol and marijuana altogether, but you can't. You realize it’s damaging your health and career, and you know it's causing tension with your friends and family.
Maybe, you learned at a young age from your parents to ignore your feelings. You were never able to run to them for the love and support that you so desperately needed. So, you felt isolated and lonely and you sought and found false comfort and intimacy through pornography. You want to live a life of purity, but you fall back into watching porn time and time again. Now, it is starting to become a waste of time and money. Even worse, it's beginning to hurt your relationships, because you don't actually know what a true intimate relationship looks like.
At Vitus Counseling you are loved and welcomed, and you are invited to discover light in the dark places.
AT VITUS COUNSELING I WILL HELP YOU TO MAINTAIN YOUR SOBRIETY AND THRIVE
If you are struggling with alcoholism, marijuana abuse, or porn addiction, I am here to tell you that you do not have to deal with it alone anymore. If you want to get better and to stay better, then you cannot try to manage it alone anymore. I invite you to step out of your isolation and pain and to come work with me. At Vitus Counseling you will discover an encouraging and safe place to process and learn about your addiction. As we work together you will be comforted and supported. You will also be challenged to take risks and try new behaviors, identify triggers, work through old wounds and resentments, and make significant lifestyle changes. For example, I may ask you to distance yourself from unhealthy people, places, and things that encourage your addiction.
During Addiction Treatment, or online substance abuse counseling in tn, I use several different kinds of therapy including:
Motivational Interviewing Approach: This approach helps you identify your own motivations for change. Then, you will learn to harness your own strengths and values to thrive in the recovery process.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: CBT helps people struggling with addiction understand their thoughts, feelings, and actions to understand how they impact recovery.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy: DBT teaches new skills to manage the distress you may feel when you don't use. It also teaches you how to avoid people, things, and environments that threaten your sobriety.
Throughout the course of your therapy I will also address any other mental health issues you may have including ADHD, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma.
Addiction therapy is challenging, but it allows you to lead a more fulfilling life
Therapy will not always be easy, and at times it may feel downright scary and frustrating. But, I am confident that if you work at your recovery and commit to being willing, open, and honest, then you will get freedom and joy that will last a lifetime.
