Opioid Addiction

In today’s world, problem use of opioids such as pain medications and heroin is becoming widespread. APC offers education and counseling services for individuals suffering from their or a loved one’s use of these substances. Relapse with opioids is common due to the difficulty and unpleasantness of the withdrawal from these substances and the urges and cravings often experienced. APC therapists have physician resources to refer a client for medication to assist in the withdrawal process and minimize the cravings. Counseling along with the use of medications, when appropriate, improves the odds for a successful recovery from these substances.

Process Addictions

Like drugs and alcohol, certain behaviors, if compulsively engaged in, can develop into an addiction: These are called process addictions. Process addictions, like drug and alcohol addictions, create chemical changes in the brain and can produce a rewarding “high” type of feeling. It is the process of engaging in the behavior that triggers these pleasurable feelings.

The APC certified substance abuse specialist are all experienced in working with the various process addictions, including:
