Starting Addiction

What is addiction counseling?

Addiction counseling therapists at Thriveworks in Alpharetta, GA can help people manage their urges to use the substance or engage in the activity they’re addicted to. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their addiction, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as those whose addiction may stem from issues like trauma.

How does addiction counseling work?

Addiction counseling at Thriveworks in Alpharetta, GA works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their addiction, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing addiction counseling can also help to prevent relapse.

Is addiction counseling conducted in person or online?

Addiction counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does addiction counseling last?

The length of addiction counseling depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their addiction, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.

How to Cope with Addiction – Therapists and Counselors in Alpharetta

Are you struggling with addiction or symptoms of a substance abuse problem? Reach out to Thriveworks Alpharetta for professional help. We have addiction counselors who can help you as soon as this week.

Signs and Symptoms of Addiction

There are many signs and symptoms of an addiction and they will vary depending on the type of substance/behavior and the individual affected. These may include:

  • Inability to stop taking a substance or engaging in an addictive behavior, despite its harmful effects (of which the addict may be aware).
  • Feelings of shame, guilt, hopelessness resulting from the addiction.
  • Obsession with the object of addiction. An addict may go to great lengths to ensure that he or she always has a good stock of the addictive substance, mastering how to hide it across his/her home or car.
  • Risky behavior. An addict may engage in risky behavior to continue doing or taking whatever he or she is addicted to.

Treating Addiction

There are a variety of approaches for treating addiction, ranging from self-help groups, residential rehabilitation programs and medical interventions to talk-based individual or family addiction counseling. Addiction counseling may often be of great benefit – following a detox period an affected individual is at a continuously high risk of slipping back into his addiction. This may happen, for example, as a consequence of a sudden stress or exposure to other people engaging in the addictive behavior.
