How We Support Those Struggling with Substance Abuse

We take a holistic, trauma-informed approach to addiction treatment. Many people use substances to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, or overwhelming life stress. Our clinicians help you address those underlying issues while learning concrete tools for relapse prevention and emotional regulation.

Using approaches like EMDR, DBT, and motivational interviewing, we help clients rebuild confidence, repair relationships, and create a healthier, more balanced life. Recovery is a process—and you don’t have to do it alone.

How EMDR Can Support Those Struggling With Substance Abuse

EMDR is especially effective for individuals in recovery because it helps address the underlying trauma, triggers, and emotional pain that often fuel substance use. Rather than focusing only on behaviors, EMDR targets the root experiences stored in the nervous system.

By processing past memories and triggers safely, clients often experience fewer cravings, reduced emotional overwhelm, and increased confidence in their ability to cope. EMDR can support relapse prevention by helping the brain learn new, healthier responses to stress and emotional discomfort.
