Many people use alcohol and drugs to self-medicate and cope with problems. When the coping mechanism becomes part of the problem, it is time to make a change. An individualized plan is needed to help each person succeed whether it is for abstinence or simply self-control in social situations.

Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
My journey with addiction is deeply personal, having been marked by the impact of my father's functional addiction from a young age. Despite the challenges it posed to our family, his struggles provided a unique perspective on the insidious nature of this illness—one that systematically dismantles lives, relationships, self-esteem, and even financial well-being.
While some may find it surprising, I consider it a fortune to have experienced the profound effects of addiction within my family. This experience became a catalyst for my healing and understanding of this intricate and complex illness. Today, as a specialized therapist and coach in addiction, I draw upon my personal journey to not only care for myself but also guide countless others through their path to recovery.
Working with addiction is powerful because, behind the façade of this illness, attempting to soothe deep-seated pain, there is always a remarkable human being waiting to actualize their full potential. I view addiction as an illness that, with proper care, can transform into a blessing, unleashing newfound superpowers. Those who have survived the grip of addiction, embarked on a healing journey and acquired wisdom and tools can become agents of positive change in the world.
Witnessing individuals transition from the depths of addiction to a purposeful and passionate life is akin to witnessing a superpower in action. The trauma, pain, and neglect that fueled the addiction often become the driving force behind a life dedicated to health, well-being, and positive impact.
Approaching this work requires delicacy and depth. The individual undertaking the healing journey needs perseverance, a thorough understanding, and decisive action to transform the dark tunnel of addiction into a sea of light. It would be my utmost honour to guide you through this challenging and isolating experience, helping you emerge into a world of your own creation—a world filled with choices that fulfill your life and enrich the lives of those around you.

Drug and Alcohol Counselor, ACPS ICCJP LAADC LCDC MAC SAP
Addiction or substance use disorder is a medical condition that affects the brain and behavior of a person, leading to an inability to control the use of legal or illegal drugs or medicines. Substances such as alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine are also considered drugs. The symptoms of addiction include intense urges for the drug that block out any other thoughts, needing more of the drug to get the same effect, taking larger amounts of the drug over a longer period of time than intended, and continuing to use the drug despite the harm it causes. Withdrawal symptoms can occur when a person stops using the drug. Treatment for addiction may include medication, behavioral therapy, and support groups.
