Starting Addiction

What is addiction counseling?

Addiction counseling therapists at Thriveworks in Richmond, VA 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 Richmond, VA 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.

Richmond Addiction Counseling – Alcoholism, Drugs, Dependency

Addiction affects millions of us in the US. Many addicts deny they are addicts, and that denial might well be a sign in itself. Addicts lie about their condition, to themselves as much as to anyone else. But there are some other signs out there too.

  • Addicts stop caring about anything except what they are addicted to
  • Addicts find that their tolerance level keeps rising and they need more and more of what they’re addicted to in order to reach the same high or buzz
  • Addicts tend to withdraw from the people that they love the most.

Of course, none of these traits on their own prove addiction, but a couple of them put together are real warning signs that help is needed before the addict loses everything, including maybe, their life.

Addiction Counseling and Therapy

The best route to recovery for an addict is to go into therapy. Our Richmond addiction counseling services can provide a therapy solution for every kind of addiction out there. Therapy comes in all shapes and sizes, but the three kinds that work best for an addict are:

  • Group therapy
  • Individual therapy
  • Family or couple’s therapy.

Generally a combination of the three different counseling methods above works best for addicts in recovery, as well as some other programs that can be discussed.

If you or your loved one are suffering from the pain and despair of addiction, please remember that help is out there and you’re not alone. You can work with a counselor, therapist, or psychologist today. Many have recovered from addiction, and so can you or the one you love.
