How we help

Addiction & recovery

You are not the problem. The addiction is the problem.

Addiction is a pleasure-seeking strategy to deal with pain, one that ends up causing more pain than it runs from. We use an integrative approach that addresses you and the relationships around you, because connection heals addiction.

Could this be you, or someone you love?

Addiction often hides behind everyday habits. Ask yourself:

Hours lost to screens

Gaming, browsing, or social media for more than two hours a day.

Porn use you can’t stop

Feeling ashamed of your use, but unable to quit.

Isolation

Pulling away from people and activities you used to enjoy.

Losing sleep

Staying up late and paying for it the next day.

Slipping at work or school

Becoming less effective at life’s everyday tasks.

Hiding and lying

Keeping secrets, even knowing it’s wrong, or others telling you there may be a problem.

People do recover.

When addictive behaviors stop, the brain can heal by building new pathways between its reward system and the prefrontal cortex.

1

Whole-person treatment

Mind, body, spirit, and social life, not just the addiction.

2

Narrative therapy

Separating you from the problem, so shame gives way to change.

3

Brain-based understanding

Strengthening the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s “brake.”

4

Habits, rebuilt

Up to 90% of behavior is habit. We replace the harmful ones.

5

Family and relationships

Healing trust and communication with the people you love.

6

Support for parents

Guidance for families of teens and young adults whose brains are still developing.

Tools you can use today.

Common questions.

Yes. Adolescents are especially vulnerable because the brain’s “brake” isn’t fully developed until about age 25. We work with teens and their parents.

No. Addiction is a chronic brain disorder. Good people can have a bad problem, and it is treatable.

We are not an emergency service. Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and available 24/7. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

A new sense of freedom is possible.

If you’re serious about getting your life, or a loved one’s, back, now is the time to reach out.
