Kirsten Beuthin, LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Substance abuse and recovery affect the individual, family and work environment in many different ways. Whether you are seeking help with the effects of growing up in a family where substances were abused or have or have had problems with abusing substances, therapy can help you begin to identify how you can make changes that you want to. It is important for any counseling to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of substance abuse in order to help the individual, couple or family facilitate and/or maintain recovery. Individual, couples or family therapy can offer help and guidance in the process of understanding how an individual’s use or abuse of substances has affected their life and their relationships with others. Therapy can also serve as a place to identify goals and explore alternative ways of relating to others.
