Understanding Substance Use Issues and Addiction
Addiction is a complex condition that affects each person differently. It can impact every area of life—physical health, relationships, emotional well-being, and career goals. At Duke City Counseling, we don’t see addiction as a one-size-fits-all issue. We approach each client’s situation individually, seeking to understand your unique experiences and challenges.
Our Approach to Treatment: CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy
We specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to address the underlying patterns that may contribute to substance use.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a structured approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In addiction treatment, CBT can help you:
Recognize triggers that lead to substance use.
Develop healthier ways to cope with stress, anger, anxiety, or other emotions.
Practice skills for resisting urges and managing cravings.
Build self-awareness to prevent relapse and maintain long-term progress.
Solution-Focused Therapy: In Solution-Focused Therapy, the focus is on creating positive, actionable steps toward change, even from the very first session. This approach allows us to:
Identify and amplify strengths that can support recovery.
Set practical, achievable goals that move you forward, no matter where you start.
Develop a vision of the life you want without substances and a step-by-step plan to get there.
