Cognitive behavioral counseling for drug & alcohol addiction
Substance use, encompassing drug and alcohol dependence, touches every facet of our community, regardless of age, socioeconomic status, or profession. At PHW, we offer personalized outpatient counseling services, providing one-on-one support for individuals seeking assistance with drug and alcohol challenges.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING
Nobody should have to face substance depence alone
We offer substance use counseling as a stand-alone service, that is a self-pay program, with a flexible/sliding scale (not covered by insurance). Depending on the level of impact, a person may need both therapy and substance use to support their healing journey.
However, many of our therapists have dual training in mental health and addiction issues where your therapist can address substance use issues during a mental health session which is covered by insurance.
