Starting Addiction

What is addiction counseling?

Addiction counseling therapists at Thriveworks in Atlanta, 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 Atlanta, 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.

Understanding Addiction

Addiction can manifest in two primary ways: substance dependence (such as addiction to heroin) and behavioral addiction (such as addiction to gambling). While the perceived harm may differ, both types of addiction can severely impact an individual’s life, including relationships with family and friends and performance at school or work. Addiction counseling can help prevent the ongoing damage that addiction can cause.

Signs and Symptoms of Addiction

Addiction can show up in various ways. Common signs and symptoms include:

  • Uncontrollable desire to use a substance or engage in an activity despite knowing its harmful effects
  • Feelings of shame, hopelessness, and guilt
  • Obsession with the object of addiction, organizing life around gaining access to the substance or behavior
  • Engaging in risky behavior, leading to legal or financial issues

Who Is at Risk of Developing Addiction?

Addiction can affect anyone, but certain risk factors can increase the likelihood, including:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Gender
  • Pre-existing mental health conditions
  • Family history of addiction
  • Environmental factors
