Addiction

Understanding Addiction

Addiction is a chronic condition characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences. It can involve substances like alcohol, drugs or behaviors such as gambling. Addiction impacts not only the individual but also their families and communities. At Bluehaven Psychiatry, we provide comprehensive support for individuals struggling with addiction, helping them find a path to recovery.

Purpose of Addiction Counseling

The goal of addiction counseling is to help individuals understand the root causes of their addiction, develop coping strategies, and support their journey toward recovery. We offer a range of services, including individual counseling, group support, and medication-assisted treatment.

What to Expect

Our addiction counseling services begin with a comprehensive assessment, including discussions about substance use history and any co-occurring mental health conditions. We provide evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Counseling (CBC) and Motivational Interviewing, to help patients develop healthier behaviors. For some, medications may be prescribed to manage withdrawal symptoms or cravings.

Risks

Treatment for addiction can sometimes involve managing withdrawal symptoms or addressing underlying mental health conditions. Our team provides a safe and supportive environment to navigate these challenges.

With effective treatment, many individuals achieve sustained recovery, improved mental health, and a better quality of life. We support our patients in developing long-term strategies for maintaining sobriety and preventing relapse.
