Substance Abuse Counseling

We're committed to helping people find the courage to heal from alcoholism, drug addiction, heroin dependency, cocaine addiction, prescription medication use and move toward recovery. We approach addiction as a bio-psycho-social-spiritual disease, which means we realize that this condition affects each person and their families on a number of levels: physical health, mental health, emotional well-being, social relationships and spiritual connectedness.

Teens and Substance Use

Alcohol and substance use affects adolescents and teens differently than adults.Alcohol and substance use are common among teens and young adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), two-thirds of teens have tried alcohol by 12th grade, roughly half have tried cannabis, and 40% have smoked cigarettes.

When a young person uses alcohol or other drugs during this critical period, it can change the brain and the way it functions. Normally, neurotransmitters like dopamine spike in response to activities you enjoy—like exercising, attending a concert or being around friends and loved ones. Using substances like alcohol and other drugs creates a similar spike, but that spike is much more significant and lasts for a longer time.
