Many adults who use alcohol or drugs to cope with daily living can function at work and at home. But there is still a problem. Substance abuse is a critical problem in the United States. It is the most common mental health issue, and the number one continuing health problem. You are not alone in the search for answers and relief for either yourself or your loved one.
The “substance” itself comes in many forms and can include alcohol, sedatives, amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, opiods, caffeine, nicotine, and prescription drugs, as well as over-the-counter drugs.
The road to recovery can be traveled one-on-one with a professional counselor trained to listen and help you manage stress as well as develop new coping skills. It can also include group therapy, where insight and feedback can help to keep you from straying off the path. Group therapy sessions are scheduled in the evening which is less disruptive to the family and work schedules.
