Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It is my belief that we "medicate for a reason". If you are struggling with an addiction, you need to address the root of it or one addiction can simply be replaced with another.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have written a book Overcoming Your Addictions which shows you how to apply the principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and CBT to your self-defeating addictions. To overcome an addiction you first need to learn to accept yourself unconditionally with your addiction. Your self-defeating addictive behavior does not diminish your worth as a person. Putting yourself down will not help you overcome your addiction. Secondly, you need to learn to build your discomfort tolerance for urges, develop a healthy network of friends who will not lead you back to your addiction, and a vitally absorbing interest in life that makes your life meaningful.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Psychotherapist
If you are suffering from an addiction to alcohol or drugs, you can take the First Step toward recovery by admitting that there is a problem that is out of your control. An addiction takes control of your whole life by stealing your joy, paralyzing you from positive emotions, putting the wrong people in your path, keeping you from a good job or becoming unemployed, separating you from family and friends, making you angry at everything and everybody, possibly making wrong choices landing you in jail/prison/prostitution, and simply destroying your life. AA/NA (if alcohol and drug addiction) along with Mental Health Counseling, allows you to make a positive change in your life by building those bridges in recovery. You learn what your addiction looks like, the affects of mood altering chemicals in your body – now and over time, develop a Relapse Prevention Plan, and engage in the entire process of healing (the Road to Recovery). A special Brainspotting technique for addiction is used called the "Crocodile Set-up", addressing behaviors and consequences and finding a new found Freedom from the "Crocodile"/addiction. This therapy can be applied to any addiction whether alcohol, drugs, sex, money, eating, shopping, etc.
