For many, drinking alcohol and/or using drugs has become a primary part of social activities. The overuse of prescribed narcotics for pain has also become highly prevalent in our society. While initial use of these substances may pose no concerns, ongoing and increased use can become a problem. You may not realize that your use of substances has become a problem until it has a negative impact on your ability to work, your relationships, or how you feel. When these difficulties arise it is time to seek help.
At Healthy Synergy we work with you to assess and understand how your use of substances is impacting you and your family. Sometimes learning different coping strategies can alleviate the need to use substances and is sufficient. When a higher level of dependency is assessed, recommendations for additional treatment may also be made.
