  • What are the different approaches to treating addiction?

    HI - Addiction affects many people - it can be caused by both what was modelled and/or the genetics from the family. Also, your age is important - as we define how long you have been over-using alcohol. The people you surround yourself with also has a significant impact on your success. Are you wanting to work on your addiction or is someone else mandating that you address it. Also, when did you start with alcohol and do you have any other addictions such as exercise, food consumption - prescription drugs or even marijuana. I would design a treatment plan that would have you coming into session or doing teletherapy 1 - 2 times per week; depending on your coverage. I would ask that you would consider reducing your consumption of alcohol and possibly contact your physician to get a prescription of antabuse which will make you vomit if you consume alcohol. You can also begin to take injections for meds that will reduce cravings. Therapy would be Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change the cognition (thoughts) to change the behavior - (hopefully reduce drinking) You would be addressing how alcohol became a part of your life - while addressing the triggers to cause temptation to drink.
