Substance Abuse

Substance abuse is the pattern of harmful use of any substance for mood-altering purposes. Illegal drugs are not the only substances that can be abused. Alcohol, prescription and over-the-counter medications can all be used to in a manner excessive enough to cause harm. In theory, almost any substance can be abused.

Addiction and Substance Abuse Counseling

Substance abuse counseling is perhaps the most demanding form of outreach and requires patience, compassion and a keen desire to help others who are in crisis. A large number of people that struggle with addictions also need help in other areas of their lives. In addition to assisting you with overcoming your addiction, we will work with you to help you regain your confidence and self-worth. We can refer you to a variety of other services that may help provide a stable platform from which you can fight addiction.
