Clients are not all the same in terms of values, traits, or in the severity of their addiction. The same is true of each client’s motivation and interest in becoming a 12-stepper or even absolutely abstinent. Because of this, we can’t assume that a particular treatment will work for everyone. Individual differences matter, not only for treatment outcomes but for the likelihood that an individual will continue to use what they learn in treatment in the first place.

At Set Free Indeed Substance Abuse Counseling, we recognize each individual is the expert in themselves. We remain curious as to what drives them intrinsically and create a collaborative relationship with clients. We assist in finding the best activity-person match instead of trying to cure the person and dictate his or her actions.

Family Counseling

A method of therapy in which the entire family is educated, counseled and essentially treated for the effects that substance use has had on them as a whole.

GROUP Counseling

As with any disease or condition, addiction affects various elements of the
Individual’s thought processes and behaviors. It’s these very thought processes and behaviors
which may also be responsible for the onset of the drug or alcohol use. Substance abuse
counseling is a method of community outreach in which those who are suffering from addiction
speak with substance abuse counselors and education about their past and present
substance use problems, about the problems that may have led up to substance use and about the
underlying elements that are responsible for their current state

GROUP education

Group education is a therapy modality wherein clients learn and practice
recovery strategies like Relapse Prevention, understanding the disease concept, triggers,
cravings, and cues, build interpersonal skills through Didactic Groups like Anger Management,
Parenting, Job Readiness Skills, social skills, and reinforce and develop social support networks
such as Church, AA/NA and or Celebrate Recovery. It typically involves a group of 6 to 15
clients who meet on a regular basis with one or two group Counselors.

Are you curious whether alcohol or drugs are a
problem for you or a loved one?

Have you ever wondered whether alcohol or drugs are a problem for you?
Are you struggling to find ways to support your loved one’s addiction and take care of yourself?
Do you worry about how drugs and alcohol affect your teenager’s brain development?
Do you feel that drugs or alcohol are the only solutions to help you manage life?
Are you feeling pressure from others to stop your substance use, but don’t feel like you have a problem?
Do you want therapeutic support in your recovery?
Substance abuse of any kind can feel like it’s taking over your life, whether it’s your own use or someone else’s. It can feel like you lost who you once were or who your loved one once was.

Substance Abuse:

Substance Abuse is Disruptive to All Aspects of Life

When someone is dealing with an addiction or problematic use of alcohol or drugs, it can be very disruptive to all aspects of their life. You may notice a lack of motivation, decrease in performance at work or at school, moods shifting up and down rapidly, combative communication, and losing interest in things once loved. These changes in your loved one leave you feeling very hurt and grieving a loss.

You may notice people who are close to you and your loved one are handling the issues in opposing ways, creating more conflict in your life.

For those dealing with substance use or dependence issues, it can feel very shameful to talk about their problems. People struggle to reach out for help or share their experience in fear of being judged or misunderstood.

Getting Substance Abuse Counseling For A Loved One Can Be Challenging

As a parent or loved one of someone dealing with substance abuse struggles, you may want to address the issue, but feel that it is so emotionally charged that you’re not getting anywhere. You provide education and resources, working to lead them in the right direction, only to be met with pushback or having this person pull away from you. Maybe this is a topic that you don’t know a lot about and need more help understanding so that you can support your friend, partner, parent, sibling or teen. We are here to support you, too.

What Are the Five Stages of Change?

The five stages of addiction recovery are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance. Read on to find out more about the various stages.

1. Precontemplation Stage

People who are in the first stage of addiction recovery aren’t yet ready for any
addiction treatment program. This phase is characterized by defensiveness
and endless justification of their behavior.

There’s a clear lack of insight into
the negative impact of excessive drug or alcohol use and a strong focus on
the positive effects they experience from using their drug of choice.

2. Contemplation Stage

The next phase is characterized by contemplative readiness. This means the
person is ready to bring about change in the future, but not immediately. Unlike the previous stage, they’re aware of the pros of becoming drug-free.

However, they are also still acutely aware of the benefits they perceive from alcohol or drug addiction. This is a critical stage for family members and treatment facilities because the person is more likely to listen to reason. By
avoiding blame, judgment and accusations, it’s possible to guide them to the next stage.

3. Preparation Stage

When it comes to the preparation stage, the individual is building a sense of
urgency regarding their desire for sobriety. They’ve usually made steps toward taking action, such as intending to join a gym, seeing a counselor or attempting to quit addiction by themselves without attending a treatment
center.

It’s normal for people in this phase to go for a day or two without turning to drug or alcohol abuse, but it’s also perfectly usual to see people jump back to contemplation or precontemplation in case triggers or difficult emotions arise.

4. Action Stage

During the action stage, the person has made significant changes in their lives
and is committed to change. This stage of change is characterized by
prolonged periods of abstinence and the inclination to turn to professionals for
help before or after relapse.

It won’t just be a case of halting the destructive behavior; change will be
apparent in multiple aspects of their lifestyle. Self-care and self-understanding
are both present in this treatment stage, but counseling is required to keep
them on the right path.

5. Maintenance Stage

During the maintenance stage, the individual is working hard to prevent
addiction recovery relapse. They’re also keeping up the lifestyle changes they
made, like getting regular exercise, recreational activities, staying sober,
paying attention to sleep hygiene and attending support groups. They don’t
feel the urge to relapse as frequently as people in the action stage, so their
confidence grows and they truly believe in their ability to maintain sobriety
long term.

This stage can last from six months to five years, depending on the severity of
the addiction and the individual’s genes and experience. It takes a small
minority of people six months of abstinence to reach the point where they
don’t go back to their addictive behavior. However, for most people, a
commitment of two to five years is necessary to truly break the habit and
solidify change.
