Starting Addiction counseling

What is addiction counseling?

Addiction counseling therapists at Thriveworks in Pflugerville, TX 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 Pflugerville, TX 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.

Addiction Counseling in Pflugerville, TX

Thriveworks in Pflugerville, TX offers addiction counseling and therapy that has helped people with many issues. Therapists help their clients to understand and learn emotional skills, as well as get them on a path to practice these new skills and learn positive ways that can make a big impact on their lives.

Environment

A person’s environment—family, friends, socioeconomic status, quality of life—are all influences. Many factors can set the stage for addiction in a person’s life, including peer pressure, physical and sexual abuse, stress and a lack of parental involvement.

For adolescents, one of the biggest contributing factors to drug abuse risk is having friends who engage in the behavior. Friends with favorable attitudes toward drug use can increase the risk.

In families with conflicts like divorce or a transition, a child may be at an increased risk of addiction. In addition, parents who have a positive outlook on or use drugs are more likely to have children who abuse drugs.

A student’s lack of performance, participation and commitment to school can be a major risk factor for addiction.

Development

Critical developmental stages in a person’s life affect addiction vulnerability. Adolescents experience a double challenge. While taking drugs or other substances at any age can lead to addiction, the earlier it begins the more likely it will progress to more serious abuse. Adolescent brains are still in development in the decision-making, judgment and self-control areas, and they are especially prone to risky behaviors.

Using Drugs to Feel Normal

With time, the drug use leads to smaller releases of dopamine—the brain’s reward center is less receptive to pleasure and enjoyment from the drugs and from daily sources, such as relationships or activities the person once enjoyed. When the brain is altered by drug use, it requires more drugs just to function at a basic level.

These examples are only a few of the many reasons people turn to addictions. Whether the addiction is drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, the internet, food or shopping, there is help. Call Thriveworks in Pflugerville, TX at (512) 955-3074 to schedule a session or schedule a session online today. Thriveworks is located at 2911 South AW Grimes Blvd, Suite 330 Pflugerville, TX 78660.

I have used many different counselors in different cities/states and I have had a phenomenal experience with Deissy Rosenbaum. She has helped with a broad range of issues from cultural assimilation to ADHD to reprocessing childhood trauma through a unique method of EMDR therapy. Because I had her support, I not only made it through a tough year (2020) but am thriving and have made progress in so many areas of my life.

I have been seeing therapists for about 20 years now, with little success. Until I met with Deissy Rosenbaum. It is obvious to me that Deissy deeply cares about my well-being; she combines complex techniques that I have never seen before, resulting in remarkable success. I have been able to remember things from my youth that were long suppressed, and feel much more whole inside. She is very humble, but her talents are quite impressive. I would describe her as patient, soft-spoken, and sensitive to my feelings. I could particularly see her working well with children, and in reality, getting in touch with my inner child was part of what really helped me. She is very easy to talk to, and I’m really happy I found her.

Words cannot express how awesome Grichell is!! I’ve seen a few therapists in my life, and by far she has been the only one to quickly figure out a way to explain things to me that make sense. There’s never any judgement, only direct advice and counsel that has helped me so much. I actually enjoy and look forward to my time with her! If you are told she has no openings, just know, she is well worth the wait in line.

I had the pleasure of using Alison Riley for my councilor. She's absolutely wonderful! She made me feel comfortable right away, which isn't the easiest thing to do. I was able to see things that I had closed myself off to for the longest, and she was even willing to have some of people I needed to talk to there so it was a neutral environment. I truly appreciate all the support she's provided. I feel like I'm much calmer now and much less anxious. Thank you so much, Alison!

I've had the privilege of working with Veronica and I'm truly grateful for her. It was the first time I felt accepted for who I am and comfortable to speak my truth. She has a very warm and accepting spirit that makes you feel at ease. The atmosphere is inviting and calm that's filled with a sense of peace. I will always recommend Veronica at Thrive Works and thankful for this experience!
