Living with a substance issue is all-consuming.
If you’re struggling with substance use, we understand how isolating and overwhelming it can be. It feels like no one truly understands what you are going through and that there’s no way out. You feel like you can never get ahead, in your relationships, work, or personal responsibilities. You wake up feeling crummy, swearing that you will do better next time. Yet the cycle continues. Every day feels like an uphill battle. But amidst the turmoil, there is hope. You don’t have to rely on substances to feel “good,” or even just to feel “normal.”
It’s never too late to take the first steps towards building the life that you have always wanted.

What is A Substance Use Disorder?
A substance use disorder (SUD) goes beyond simply regretting having one too many drinks. A substance Use Disorder (SUD) is the official term for those who have trouble controlling their use of drugs or alcohol. You might be spending a lot of time, energy, and money using or recovering from the effects of substances. You might notice that your substance use is affecting your relationships with others, your ability to fulfill your responsibilities, or negatively impacting your health. You might need more and more of the substance to get the same effect, and you might spend a substantial amount of time recovering after using a substance. If you’re dealing with a SUD, you might be feeling stressed, ashamed, guilty, or like you need to keep it a secret from others. You might find yourself lying to your friends and loved ones about how much or how often you are using. It can also be tough to resist the urge to use. Maybe you even tell yourself that you “won’t drink that much tonight,” but inevitably it seems like you overdo it and lose control. Even if you use a substance “only on the weekends,” or “only in social situations,” you may still meet the criteria for a substance use disorder.
Let us provide you with the assistance and insights necessary to regain control and navigate life’s ups and downs without feeling like you have to rely on something else to get you through. Our team of professionals is here to help, regardless of the type of substance use issue you’re facing – whether it involves excessive alcohol consumption, misuse of prescription drugs, illicit substances, over-the-counter medications, or any other form of substance-related challenge. You are not alone and we can help guide you on a path forward.
You don’t have to handle it alone.

How do I know if I struggle with substance use?
There’s often confusion about what qualifies as a SUD. You don’t have to drink or use every day to have one. Regular binge drinking, or occasional but heavy use of another substance, might signal symptoms of a SUD. Severe withdrawal symptoms aren’t always necessary either; even a hangover constitutes alcohol withdrawal, for example. The difference between healthy and unhealthy substance use lies in its impact on your life. If a substance has a significant negative impact on your life; you may need support to regain control.
Here are some common signs that substance use is becoming a problem or may indicate the presence of Substance Use Disorder (SUD):
- Using more of the substance than intended
- Regretting your behavior while intoxicated
- Feeling terrible when you discontinue use of the substance
- Arguing with your loved ones while intoxicated
- Hiding how much or how often you use from others
- Your work, academics, or household responsibilities are suffering because of your substance use
- You want to better control your use of the substance but you are unable to
- You spend a lot of time and money on substances and recovering from using substances
- Feeling like you need a substance to cope with distressing emotions
- Feeling like you need a substance to get through your day
- Feeling like you need a substance to get through social situations
- Your loved ones are expressing concern about your substance use
- You spend a lot of time thinking about the next time you are going to use the substance
In Substance Use Counseling, we uncover the root of the issue and provide practical strategies to help you regain control over substance use.

How substance use treatment can help
This disorder is a spectrum—there is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan. That is why treatment will always begin with an assessment meeting to discuss what you are struggling with, how you feel, your day-to-day stressors and concerns, and what your goals are.
We will always meet you where you’re at, and your plan will be specifically tailored to your needs. Your individual plan could consist of learning strategies for how to manage triggers, strengthening relationships with those around you, and building a fulfilling and meaningful life outside of substance use.
