The length of addiction counseling depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their addiction, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.
Addiction can come in a number of forms. Many people become addicted to a substance: alcohol, prescription drugs, marijuana, cocaine, and more. Others become addicted to a particular activity: video gaming, shopping, Internet, sex, and more. In either form, the root issue is compulsion. Addiction is a disease that changes people’s brains so that they experience more and more reward from the substance or activity until it becomes compulsive. Addiction’s promise of reward, however, is a false promise. Addiction offers love and healing, but it brings disconnection and suffering—unless there is an intervention. There are many interventions available, and one of the most effective is personal therapy.
That is why Thriveworks in Chattanooga offers addiction counseling. Our therapists and counselors have worked with many people who are fighting an addiction. We have helped many find a path of healing and sobriety that may include therapy, community support, and/or medication. We offer holistic support and treatment. Reach out today to get help.
Addiction alters people’s brains. It is a devastating disease that should not be minimized or downplayed. It can steal people’s health, relationships, finances, and even life. Early detection and early intervention is often key for fighting it. Although the disease takes place in the brain, a number of behavioral, emotional, and physical red-flags may be present if someone has an addiction. If you or a loved one are displaying any of the following behaviors, it may be time to seek help.
Behavioral Symptoms of Addiction
Emotional Symptoms of Addiction
Physical Symptoms of Addiction
It does not take much to recognize that many of the symptoms of addiction can be deeply hurtful to addicts and their families. When these signs are displayed, often the appropriate response is to reach out for help. Therapy is a great place to start. Mental health professionals can identify the three C’s of addiction: cravings, control, and consequences. Addiction rewires people’s brains to crave the substance or action so that they lose control, despite whatever consequences they may experience. Skilled and experienced therapists understand how to rewire the brain to offset and overcome the addiction.
