Addiction treatment & moderation
We focus on your goals, use science and compassion, focus on reducing harm first, and aim to heal the pain beneath the compulsion.
We also teach moderation, which can actually work for many. You might end up deciding the struggle and consequences of use are just not worth it, but this will be your decision, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Addiction treatment & moderation
We treat your agenda – no one else’s. And we go to the core for deep and lasting change. We guide you with expertise and gentleness, whether you’re seeking help for yourself or your family. We use medicine alongside therapy to stop the compulsion, calm the stress, and get you back into the driver’s seat. We aim beyond stability – to transformation – getting to the emotional drivers beneath the behavior. We meet you where you’re at, teaching safety, moderation or abstinence.
Setting your goals
Treatment should be personalized and encouraging. We use the science: focus on your goals, reduce harm first, and aim to heal the pain beneath the compulsion. We may teach moderation, though some come to a decision that the struggle and consequences of use are just not worth it. This will be your decision, and we’ll be with you every step of the way, keeping you safe, and respecting your values.
Family & couples approaches
Family work is often the missing piece of addictions treatment. It needs doing right. Relationships can drive an addictive escape or be the motivator for positive change. We are experts in contemporary family models like Contingency Reinforcement Approach Family Therapy (CRAFT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), two approaches that are head and shoulders superior to standard treatment.
Emerging adults
As parents, we don’t want to enable our children’s unhealthy choices, nor do we want to control them. Good parents aim to empower their kids. Ages 15-25 are a tough time – so many changes, temptations, explorations, stumbles and lurches. We can help you and your kid as they navigate their struggles and find their way to safety and independence.
High complexity cases
Some situations need complex solutions. Our multidisciplinary team meets daily, coordinating family, behavioral, and emotional therapies, coaching, and medication approaches. We focus on functional outcomes, effective communication with the family and transparency.
Psychopharmacology
We are experts in the use of medications for both psychiatry and addiction management. We’re sought out as definitive second opinions. Expect a judicious approach following a careful diagnostic reappraisal: sometimes conservative, sometimes out of the box, always tied to outcome and making sense to you.
