Dependency Counseling

We can become dependent on many different things, however commonly discussed in our culture are alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, exercise, and sex.

When we begin to rely on these things to cope, they have the power to completely take over, ruining relationships and lives. Admitting you struggle with a maladaptive dependency can be hard and is a big step towards beginning to heal.

Wondering if you have a problem?

• Do you feel as though you have impaired control over the substance or behavior?
• Are you preoccupied with the substance or behavior?
• Do you continue to use the substance or perform the behavior despite impending consequences?
• Did you answer yes to the previous three questions yet want to deny having done so?

If you found yourself answering yes to the above questions, you likely have an unhealthy relationship with something in your life.  Feelings of fear and shame can keep us from admitting we need help, but freedom is possible.  Our staff is available to help you.
