Substance Use Treatment / Counseling

Substance abuse is the use of illegal drugs, or the use of prescription or over-the-counter drugs, or alcohol for purposes other than for which they are meant to be used or in excessive amounts. A counselor will work with a patient to develop an appropriate treatment plan. Along with behavioral counseling, the goal is to develop a plan that considers how substance abuse impacts an individual’s life including their mental, physical, social, and financial health. A counselor will help an individual set and track progress towards desired goals and outcomes as well as assist the individual in planning for and achieving long term maintenance care and success.
