Frequently Asked Questions About Substance Abuse Therapy
Get answers to common questions about substance abuse therapy therapy in Napa, CA.
What substances do you provide therapy for?
I work with clients struggling with alcohol, prescription medications, marijuana, and behavioral addictions. I focus on the psychological aspects of addiction—underlying trauma, co-occurring mental health conditions, relationship patterns, and developing sustainable recovery strategies.
Do I need to be in recovery to start therapy?
No. You can start therapy at any stage: contemplating change, actively using, in early recovery, or maintaining long-term sobriety. Therapy can help you explore your relationship with substances, understand what's driving use, and develop motivation and skills for change at your own pace.
How does therapy complement other addiction treatment?
Therapy works well alongside AA/NA, medication-assisted treatment, or intensive outpatient programs. I focus on the underlying issues that drive addiction—often trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship problems. Addressing these root causes supports lasting recovery beyond abstinence alone.
