Incorporating psychotherapy into addiction recovery efforts increases success rate from 15 - 65%

Abstinence from your addictive behavior is the first step in recovery. Maintaining that sobriety from drugs, alcohol or behavior requires continuing therapeutic support to:

• Learn and reinforce coping skills to avoid relapse into use
• Explore and remedy underlying psycho/social issues
• Change harmful thought and behavior patterns

Is this you?  Do you need help?

The most frequently mentioned triggers to relapse are emotional and include:

• anxiety
• boredom
• perceived lack of control
• Real or perceived rejection
• depression
• crises
• sense of failure
• unmet sexual needs
• criticism

Everyone is an individual and must be treated as such for long-term success.

Most successful results rely on a combination of efforts and modalities. Barbara has had years of success using the following as approprate for each individual:
