Substance abuse counseling can help people manage their urges to use the substance they’re addicted to. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their substance abuse from relationship issues to problems at work as well as those that their addiction may stem from like trauma.

Thriveworks substance abuse counseling in Newton, MA is conducted both in person and through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of substance abuse counseling depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their substance abuse, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in substance abuse counseling in the first weeks to months.
Here at Thriveworks Counseling in Newton, MA, we understand that treating substance abuse is vitally important—and we know just how beneficial substance abuse counseling can be.

The majority of individuals who don’t get treated for substance abuse don’t think they need it. This sheds light onto two major elements of substance abuse: first, individuals often fail to recognize they have a problem and two, they often fail to admit they have a problem. But the reality is that millions suffer with the disorder and are addicted to a variety of substances.
It’s important to be aware of symptoms that signify the disorder, so one can identify the problem and receive the necessary treatment. Here are common symptoms experienced by those with a substance use problem:
Do the items on this list hit a little too close to home? If so, you might have a substance abuse problem.

And one effective form is counseling, which can work in various ways—depending on the substance you’re addicted to, how severe the addiction is, and where the addiction stems from, to name a few factors. Still, there are commonalities across most substance abuse sessions. For example, the experience is often rooted in learning new skills that help the individual manage their addiction in day to day life. Individuals also identify harmful behaviors and thought patterns that aid their substance use, and replace them with healthier alternative behaviors and thoughts.
