Substance abuse services provided at Heart and Soul Counseling provide programs that help people with drug and alcohol problems. They can include treatment referral and information, recovery support, medication assisted treatment, and prevention outreach.
Substance Abuse Services
Heart and Soul is dedicated to helping those with issues/addiction to drugs and alcohol find their journey to long-term recovery.
Addiction can be painful. It’s crushing. It’s a battle.
It’s isolating. It’s lonely. But most of all, addiction is misunderstood and because of that, perhaps worst of all in some ways, it’s brutally stigmatized.
The lack of understanding and therefore the lack of sympathy to a degree stems from society pinning the wrong definition on the word.
As per the National Institute on Drug Abuse, addiction is defined as a “chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking, continued use despite harmful consequences, and long-lasting changes in the brain. It is considered both a complex brain disorder and a mental illness. Addiction is the most severe form of a full spectrum of substance use disorders, and is a medical illness caused by repeated misuse of a substance or substances.”
While it’s widely accepted by medical professionals that addiction is a mental illness, users often still find themselves being treated as less than others.
Here at our Kentucky drug & alcohol rehab programs, we get it, and compassionate care is the rule.
Our Substance Services
Our agency has been designed to treat mental health alongside addiction for optimum results.
Outpatient Services If the addiction you are working to overcome is on the mild or moderate side, our outpatient program will suit you well. We create a program suited to your needs where you can get group or individual counseling to get back on track.
Family Therapy
Addiction doesn’t just affect the user; it can shatter the whole family which is why family therapy is a crucial option to consider. Having the entire family involved leads to better outcomes for preventing relapse as well as giving the family an overall better understanding of what addiction is. That alone can do wonders for recovery.
