Starting Substance abuse counseling

What is substance abuse counseling?

Substance abuse counseling can help people manage their urges to use the substance they’re addicted to. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their substance abuse from relationship issues to problems at work as well as those that their addiction may stem from like trauma.

How does substance abuse counseling work?

Thriveworks substance abuse counseling in Rock Hill, SC works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their substance abuse, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing substance abuse counseling can also help to prevent relapse.

Is substance abuse counseling conducted in person or online?

How long does substance abuse counseling last?

What are the Effects of Addiction and Substance Abuse?

The long-term effects of drugs and alcohol use are not talked about as much as they should. While substance use is an easy escape from life in the moment, it can have negative effects stretching much farther into the future.

Some of the negative effects addiction and substance abuse can have include:

  • Cravings for the drug/alcohol continue throughout day
  • Unsustainable or reckless spending patterns; financial strains
  • Painful physical reactions to withdrawal (headache, anxiety, inability to sleep or oversleeping, muscle aches)
  • Changes in social patterns or groups
  • Lying or being secretive
  • Unable to feel happy or safe without a drug or alcohol high
  • Mood changes
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Physical health problems such as cancer, heart disease, or skin disease

Substance abuse is a very real and very difficult struggle. Thriveworks Rock Hill substance abuse counselors understand the many pathways that one takes to get trapped in substance abuse, and we know that it’s not your fault.

What does Substance Abuse Counseling Look Like?

The individual nature of counseling means everyone’s sessions will look different, but some more common topics and practices are:

  • Addressing the root need or desire behind using drugs.
  • Identifying and building a support system.
  • Connecting to your passions, goals, and reasons for quitting drugs.
  • Finding healthy coping mechanisms or alternative behavior to drug use.
  • Working through any co-morbid anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, or other mental health concerns that might come with substance abuse.
  • Creating a future plan that excites and motivates you.

Thriveworks substance abuse counselors in Rock Hill are ready to meet you and begin walking towards a healthier, happier future. We accept most major insurance plans.
