I am a recovering addict. I have years of clean time. I recognize all too well the struggles that are associated with addiction. Addiction ruins lives. I have years of experience treating Drug and Alcohol Addiction. I am a trained DBT-SUD therapist. Using DBT for Substance Abuse is a fairly new approach but has been found significantly effective. I am also very familiar with the 12 step program and believe it is an effective therapy to maintain abstinence and sobriety. Being in a 12 Step group helps addicts with the number one barrier to recovery: loneliness.
I have a blog at QUITXANAX that will give you some information about my struggle as well as some encouragement. Please visit that site.
