Do you work with substance abuse?
If your life is really out of control or if substance abuse is your main problem, you should seek a program or practitioner with special drug treatment experience. However, if your life is moderately under control and substance use is just one of your issues, I might be a good choice for you - especially if you don't feel you fit into the twelve-step or rehab model. I might also be a good choice if your substance use is moderately under control, but your urge to use still gets triggered by certain situations. I use an EMDR method for relapse-prevention that has been quite effective.
Although this is not an area in which I have special professional expertise, it is also not an area I shy away from. Many years of involvement with clients and family members who were addicted have given me patience, compassion, and a little wisdom about substance abuse. Although do not accept clients who come to me primarily for substance abuse problems, I have worked very successfully over the years with many clients who came to me with other issues but also struggled with drug or alcohol problems.
