Substance Dependence Counseling and Therapy

For many individuals, turning to substances in order to cope with difficult emotions can quickly turn into a substance use disorder. While it is incredibly difficult, acknowledging that you have an unhealthy reliance on substances is the first step toward recovery.

Signs and Symptoms of Substance Use

It is typically characterized by the prolonged use or misuse of substances including alcohol, or prescription or illicit drugs.

If you find yourself relying on these types of substances to cope with difficult emotions, big life changes, or to get through your daily routine, this can be an indication of addiction.

Some common signs and symptoms of substance abuse to look out for include:
