Substance use refers to the consumption of drugs or alcohol in a manner that can lead to dependency or negative consequences in one’s life. It is not simply about the use of substances but also encompasses the patterns and effects of that usage on an individual’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being. In therapy, we aim to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their relationship with substances, understand the underlying issues that contribute to their use, and develop healthier coping strategies.Through talk therapy, we help clients identify triggers and patterns associated with their substance use. By incorporating skill-building techniques, such as mindfulness and stress management, we empower individuals to replace unhealthy habits with more constructive behaviours. Our approach is tailored to each client's unique circumstances, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of their journey toward recovery and personal growth.
