How to Overcome Addiction – Therapists and Counselors in Durham

Addiction is a condition in which an individual loses an aptitude to keep under control his or her intake of a stimulant or a particular behavior. The inability to restrain oneself ultimately may have very bad consequences for an addict’s mental and physical health.

Physical and psychological addiction are the two major categories of the condition, although they frequently occur together. Physical addiction arises as a result of, for example, alcohol or heroin abuse, while a psychological addiction can be caused by an unhealthy attitude towards work, gambling, or sex.

What Causes Addiction?

An experienced addiction counselor will look at the different factors that may have contributed to development of the condition in a patient and apply this knowledge to provide an appropriate form of therapy. Many factors may increase one’s likelihood of becoming an addict, genetics, family history and one’s environment (e.g. peer pressure, lose relationships within family).

Addiction Counseling

Addiction counseling is an important step on the road to recovery. Counseling therapy is there to help an addict control the cravings and the compulsion driving him or her to give in to the old destructive habits – often as a result of exposure to an external stimulus (e.g. stress, other people consuming alcohol).

At Thriveworks Counseling in Durham, our addiction counselors and psychologists are there to help the patients work through their problems and overcome an addiction. Seeking support is an important step on the path to recovery – contact us today to arrange your first counseling session with one of our mental health professionals.

I think for the future, allowing clients to put their preferred name and pronouns in their profiles would be more affirming. What I enjoy the most is that my provider is really good at fostering a safe therapeutic environment and they respect my queerness. During each session, I have become enlightened and motivated to work towards my goals. My provider is reliable, punctual, and understanding. They are amazing!!

It's nice to have in person therapy available most days, but virtual if it's ever required. The office is conveniently located & clean. . I'm SO appreciative of Kierra. She is a positive and reassuring person. The exercises she has done with me have stuck in my mind. I'm thankful she's willing to meet with me in the morning before I go to work.
