    Drug and Alcohol Counseling

    More often than not, drug and alcohol addictions start with the experimental use of a drug or alcohol in social situations. And for some people, their drug/alcohol use becomes more frequent. As time passes, a person may feel the need to use more of a drug/alcohol to get their desired high, and soon a person may need the drug/alcohol to simply feel “good.”

    Drug and alcohol addiction symptoms and behaviors include, among others:

    • Feeling the need to use the alcohol or substance regularly, which can be daily or multiple times a day
    • Having intense urges for the  alcohol or substance 
    • Over time, needing more of the alcohol or substance to get the same effect
    • Being certain that you maintain a supply of the  alcohol or substance 
    • Not meeting obligations and work responsibilities
    • Doing things you wouldn’t normally do to get the alcohol or substance , such as stealing or lying
    • Focusing more and more time and energy on getting and using the  alcohol or substance 
    • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using the  alcohol or substance 
    • Failed attempts to quit using the  alcohol or substance 

    If you can relate to any of the above symptoms or behaviors, it may be time to consider addiction counseling.
