Addictions or Substance Abuse
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
Substance abuse addiction is a disease that affects not only the user but his or her family members. Abstinence does not solve the problem. Instead, I can help you and your family develop a new lifestyle that does require the use of mood-altering substances. Please read my book “Bulletproof Recovery” to know more about how my approach can help you achieve peace of mind and serenity.

Hannah Frankel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If we work on issues regarding substance use, I use a harm reduction model that sees engagement with substance on a continuum from healthy and acceptable use to chronic abuse. While 12-step models are helpful for a lot of people, in my experience many people need a different approach. I will not lecture you or expect abstinence to be the only goal. Instead we will look at what a personalized treatment plan and set of goals (including moderation management) look like for you.

Chaplain Dr. Darrell C. Hartley - Better CALL Darrell
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.
