How to Deal with Addiction – Counselors and Therapists in Cambridge

Unfortunately, many individuals with an addiction do not seek help at the moment of realization. They continue on their downward spiral and things get worse and worse before they seek help, or someone seeks it for them. They lie and cheat and deny. They lose their jobs or their savings or their health. They destroy trust and ultimately the love that others have for them.

If you believe you have an addiction or are in dangerous territory, please reach out to Thriveworks in Cambridge for addiction help. Our addiction counselors are here to help.

What Is Addition Counseling?

The best way to break the chains of addiction is with professional help. Our Cambridge addiction counselors and psychologists provide the best options for qualified, professional assistance in this city, for both the addict and their loved ones. There are three primary courses of therapy for an addict:

  • Group therapy. The addict joins his or her peers to give and receive support in the struggle against addiction. No-one knows better what a recovering addict is going through other than another addict.
  • Individual therapy. The addict meets one-on-one with their therapist to discover the deeper cause of the addiction and also to strategize the recovery plan going forward
