Substance Use & Recovery Support
Oftentimes when living with substance use issues we may understand our use as problematic or unhealthy, but change and recovery may feel out of reach.
We believe change and hope are possible.
Are you struggling with substance use, misuse, or abuse? At Intuitive Therapy Partners, our therapists are equipped with the tools to help you manage problematic substance use and to help you live in accordance with your values. We offer effective, non-judgmental, trauma-informed substance use therapy to individuals seeking to improve their relationship with substances and to improve their quality of life.
Substance use therapy allows us to challenge those out-of-control thoughts and urges, develop coping skills to combat them, and to explore and address the root causes contributing to the desire to use. Therapy can also offer your support as you navigate the road to recovery and sobriety.
Common Issues Addressed in Substance Use Therapy
Feeling out of control: If you feel like your substance use is in control of your life, therapy can teach you ways to address urges and disrupt behavioral patterns that contribute to continued use.
Trust: Substance use can make it feel like you don’t know yourself or your desires. Therapy can help rebuild your trust in yourself by helping you better understand your values and giving you the tools to act in accordance with them.
Navigating Discomfort: Learn new ways to cope with discomfort in your life and prioritize your health and wellbeing.
Interpersonal Conflicts: If substance use has contributed to conflicts with your loved ones, therapy can help better align your behaviors with your values.
Communication: Therapy provides a safe, non-judgemental space to discuss your substance use. We use this space to build confidence in your ability to seek out help and support.
How Substance Use Therapy Can Help:
Substance use therapy is a form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals reduce their substance use, rebuild confidence in their ability to live without substance use, and better understand their motivations or desires to use substances. Substance use therapy offers many benefits, including:
Grow Your Confidence: Develop the tools to regain confidence in yourself and your ability to live without substance use.
Increase Self Understanding: Better understand yourself, your desires to use, and the values you hold, and gain the ability to use this understanding to inform your future behaviors.
Develop Coping Skills: Develop new coping strategies that prioritize your health, wellbeing, and values.
Build Hope: Bolster your belief that change is not only possible, but attainable.
