Substance Use Disorder Counseling

What is Substance Use Disorder Counseling?

MAP BHC offers Substance Use Disorder Counseling not only for people with addiction issues but to people who are concerned about their use of alcohol or other drugs. Substance Use Disorder Counseling focuses on a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self – directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. This type of counseling addresses the ways in which drugs and alcohol affect people physically, emotionally and mentally as well as in their relationships. We help people to reclaim their lives through breaking the cycle of addiction, and overcoming the stigma associated with the disease. With the assistance of a counselor trained in chemical dependency,  people can find new ways of dealing with difficulties in their lives without relying on alcohol or other drugs to mask the problems they face. Counseling is not only for those struggling with use but for family members who find it difficult to understand, and cope with the challenges  associated with a trying to help a loved one.
