Addictions or Substance Abuse
Kim Silverthorn - Tacit Knowledge
Counsellor/Therapist, B.A., R.P.C., M.P.C.C., C.T.
Tacit works with clients who are struggling with the challenges of substance use/abuse issues. For some clients, Tacit will provide counselling supports as clients prepare for and followup after their involvement in a Substance Abuse Residential Treatment program. For other clients who do not wish to access a Treatment Program, Tacit will provide regular counselling supports to help address the underlying factors that have resulted in a substance use/abuse coping strategy that is no longer effective for that individual.

Amy Sheffield
Psychologist, Mc(Psych), Registered Psychologist
No one intends to lose control over substance use. Instead the initial drinking or drug use was fun, comforting or a much needed escape. However, as many as 21.6% of Canadians will lose this form of substance use control. I spent the first four years of my undergrad education trying to understand the multitude of influences that make good people vulnerable to substance use struggles. These include neurobiological factors, trauma, lack of healthy coping skills, untreated mental health concerns, broken sense of self, lack of purpose, environmental influences and interpersonal struggles. A thorough assessment to determine what factors may have triggered or are maintaining your personal substance use is therefore imperative to developing an effective treatment plan. Reduction or abstinence from substances almost always involves addressing these numerous biological, psychological and social factors that have maintained your substance use, so you can rediscover your best self.

Russ Webb - Insight Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, RPC, MPCC
Having taught in the Addictions Counselling program at Medicine Hat College for 14 years, I understand addiction as a neurophysiological brain disorder that the person did not choose in their life. My approach is to address the addiction from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual perspective giving compassion and helping the client understand how addiction functions in their life and how they can move to recovery and continue a new life in recovery. Many new issues arise in recovery which the client will also need support with as they change the very nature of their identity.
