ADDICTION COUNSELING AT HEARTLAND COUNSELING SERVICES
Co-Occurring/ Addiction counseling is an evidence-based treatment that improves your ability to identify and change negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Cognitive and dialectic behavioral therapy is very effective during substance abuse treatment. Sharing your emotions and feelings in a supportive, therapeutic environment can improve your ability to communicate and cope with stressors.
Counseling for addiction and co-occurring disorders also helps you set goals and plans, such as employment or education goals. Another important part of co-occurring/ addiction treatment is developing useful and healthy coping strategies. Stressors like negative emotions or significant life changes can put you at risk of relapsing. Acquiring tools and skills to handle stressors can help you maintain sobriety and abstinence.
Heartland Counseling Services offers OWI assessment, outpatient addiction counseling for individuals, and a variety of recovery groups. Co-Occurring/Addiction counseling is utilized alongside other treatments and treatment providers such as medication management/prescribers, holistic intervention/providers, and community supports. Heartland Counseling Services counselors believe in a collaborative approach to wellness and encourage clients to see multiple avenues of support and intervention to become and maintain the best version of themselves.
