Are you or someone you love struggling with the overwhelming grip of drug addiction? Does the constant battle with cravings, the impact on relationships, and the erosion of your well-being feel insurmountable? Know that you are not alone, and a brighter future is within reach. At Pittmain, we offer compassionate and evidence-based drug addiction therapy designed to guide you towards lasting recovery and a life filled with purpose.

​

Drug addiction, also known as substance use disorder, is a complex brain disease characterized by the compulsive seeking and use of drugs despite harmful consequences. It transcends mere willpower; it alters brain chemistry and function, creating powerful urges and dependence. The reasons behind drug addiction are varied and often intertwined, including genetic predispositions, environmental factors, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Understanding this complexity is the foundation of our comprehensive drug addiction therapy approach.

​

Recognizing the signs of drug addiction is a critical first step towards seeking help. These signs can manifest physically, psychologically, and behaviorally, and may include:

​

  • Loss of Control: Inability to limit or stop drug use despite wanting to.

  • Tolerance: Needing increasing amounts of the drug to achieve the desired effect.

  • Withdrawal Symptoms: Experiencing physical or psychological discomfort when the drug's effects wear off.

  • Preoccupation: Spending a significant amount of time obtaining, using, or recovering from the effects of the drug.

  • Neglecting Responsibilities: Failing to meet obligations at work, school, or home due to drug use.   

  • Continued Use Despite Consequences: Persisting in drug use despite negative impacts on relationships, health, finances, or legal standing.

  • Secretive Behavior: Hiding drug use from loved ones and engaging in deceptive behaviors.

  • Changes in Appearance and Behavior: Noticeable shifts in physical appearance, hygiene, energy levels, and social interactions.

  • Cravings: Experiencing intense urges or desires to use the drug.

  • Social Withdrawal: Isolating oneself from friends and family who do not support drug use.

​​

If you identify with any of these signs, or are concerned about someone you know, please reach out for support. Our therapists specializes in drug addiction therapy, providing a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where healing can begin.

​

Our approach to drug addiction therapy is holistic and personalized, recognizing that each individual's journey is unique. We integrate various evidence-based modalities to address the multifaceted nature of addiction and promote sustainable recovery. Our comprehensive services may include:

​

  • Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with a qualified therapist to explore the underlying causes of your addiction, address co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma, and develop personalized coping strategies for cravings, triggers, and high-risk situations. We utilize therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), , Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma-Informed Therapy to empower you to gain insight, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build resilience.  

  • Relapse Prevention Planning: Developing a robust relapse prevention plan is essential for maintaining long-term sobriety. We will work collaboratively with you to identify potential triggers, develop effective coping strategies, and build a strong support network to navigate challenges and sustain your recovery.

  • Aftercare Planning: Recovery is an ongoing process. We provide comprehensive aftercare planning to ensure a smooth transition back into daily life and connect you with community resources, support groups, and ongoing therapy options to maintain your progress and prevent relapse.

  • Psychoeducation: Understanding the science of addiction, its impact on the brain and body, and the principles of recovery is empowering. We provide education and resources to help you gain a deeper understanding of your condition and the recovery process.

​​
