Substance use concerns don’t occur in a vacuum.
Often, there are underlying stressors, triggers, or co-occurring mental health concerns involved.
At MySpectrum Counseling & Coaching, we offer support for substance use concerns, recovery maintenance, and related emotional stressors. We work with you to build coping strategies and, where it helps, to educate your loved ones on patterns of use and recovery. This is outpatient counseling — we are not an inpatient, detox, or residential addiction-treatment program.
Wherever you live in the state — from near our home office in North Chesterfield all the way up to Northern Virginia — our counselors can help you work through substance use concerns and the stressors around them. If you can’t attend in-person sessions, we also offer online counseling that connects you with a therapist from the comfort of home.
Possible Signs of a Substance Use Concern
Some signs suggest that talking with a counselor could help. Consider whether any of these apply to you or a loved one:
-
Frequent cravings for the substance
-
Needing to take larger amounts for the desired result
-
Feelings of withdrawal after going without it for a while
-
Favoring substance use over time with family or friends
-
Difficulty maintaining your responsibilities
