    Counseling for Friends & Family of Addicts

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

    When we see this happen to a loved one, we want to do everything we can to help. But sometimes, our unconditional love simply isn’t enough.

    Signs and symptoms of recent use include:

    • The feeling of exhilaration and excess confidence
    • Increased alertness
    • Increased energy and restlessness
    • Behavior changes or aggression
    • Rapid or rambling speech
    • Dilated pupils
    • Delusions and hallucinations
    • Irritability or changes in mood

    If your loved one comes to mind with any of the above symptoms and behaviors, it may be time to consider addiction counseling for your family member.  It may be important for you to seek counseling to talk to about how your loved one’s addiction is impacting you.

    We will address the symptoms of your loved one’s addiction and the related areas of impaired functioning, and together we will structure the time and content of their ongoing recovery.

    We believe that there are many paths to successful recovery that will work with the goals and desires of your loved one.  Contact our office today to schedule an appointment.
