Recovering from Substance Misuse
(also known as Addiction Therapy or Substance Abuse Counselling)
Reclaiming Your Health and Identity
Recovery isn´t simply just about stopping use, whether that could be a stimulant, or chemical dependency on a pharmaceutical medicine, it's also about restoring your physical health, emotional well-being and finding your sense of self again. It might be your first time coming to terms with it, or maybe you´ve spent years in recovery, or in the middle of a medical treatment plan or a support group and looking for emotional support and guidance alongside it. Using various integrative techniques we could look at finding specific tools to help you make lasting changes.
