What is sober support?

Sober support counseling is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals maintain sobriety and navigate the challenges of addiction recovery. It may include:

• Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with a licensed counselor to address personal struggles, triggers, and coping strategies.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A structured approach that helps individuals recognize and change harmful thought patterns related to substance use.

• Motivational Interviewing: A technique that helps individuals strengthen their commitment to sobriety by exploring their personal motivations.

• Couples Counseling: Therapy sessions that involve a spouse or life partner to rebuild relationships and create a supportive environment.

• EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. 

• Holistic Approaches: Incorporating mindfulness, meditation, and healthy living to support overall well-being.

Is sobriety right for you?

If you’re wondering whether substance use is becoming problematic, talking to a healthcare professional or counselor can provide the insight and support needed to move forward. We provide substance use disorder diagnosis and treatment planning in addition to referrals for inpatient and/or intensive outpatient treatment, as needed.

Substance use concerns often involve patterns like:

• Increasing Use: Needing more of a substance to feel its effects.
• Loss of Control: Using more than intended or struggling to cut back.
• Impact on Daily Life: Interference with responsibilities, relationships, or personal goals.
• Physical or Emotional Changes: Experiencing withdrawal symptoms or shifts in mood.
