Ottawa Addictions Counselling & Addiction Therapy
Addictions Counselling & Addiction Therapy
Is an addiction taking over your life? Addictions counselling can help by making you your own hero by overcoming your addiction. Read our blog to understand the steps needed to becoming your own hero today. Our psychotherapists are trained in addictions counselling and helping those who struggle with addiction find freedom. Usually, people use the word addiction to refer to dependence on drugs or alcohol, but addiction can take on many forms. Common addictions include gambling, pornography, food, and internet addiction, as well as alcoholism and drug abuse.
Addictions & Codependency
If someone you know is suffering from an addiction in Ottawa, chances are that someone in their family is also suffering from codependency. Codependency is defined as a unhealthy relational style that can often be one-sided, where a person is manipulated or controlled. Our counsellors offer addictions and codependency therapy to help you move beyond your addiction or unhealthy relational style and begin rebuilding. They work with you to address the root of the problem, getting to the core of the underlying coping difficulties that caused the addiction.
Our addiction therapy is customized to your personal needs. As you progress through addiction therapy, you’ll learn to cope with situations that may cause you to relapse, effectively overcoming your tendencies towards addiction. Whatever the form of your addiction, it’s likely that it serves a very specific purpose in your life – escape. Usually, addictions are ways of coping, either with stress or discomfort. If left untreated, addictions can often take over your life, leading to the breakdown of your relationships and your health. But there is help.
Types Of Addictions
It’s possible to become addicted to a variety of things, but to better help understand the realm of addiction, addictions are usually classified into two categories: Behavioural Addictions and Chemical Addictions.
Behavioural Addiction: behavioural addictions are associated with compulsive behaviours. These would include repeated and persistent behaviours that don’t offer a real benefit – like lying, gambling, or an internet addiction.
Chemical Addiction: chemical addictions refer to the specific use of substances like alcohol, tobacco, smoking, and other forms of drugs.
