Frequently asked questions

What type of therapy is best to treat addiction?

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for addiction – it is important to keep an open mind and try as many different styles of therapy as possible. This will help you to discover what resonates with you. Many of our clients are surprised at what therapies work best for them, even using their preferred therapy method as they continue their journey back home.

How long should I expect addiction counselling to last?

The length of addiction counselling varies depending on your needs and progress in treatment. Some people may only require a few weeks or months of counselling, while others may need ongoing support for a longer period. Ultimately, the duration of addiction counselling will depend on your unique circumstances and recovery goals.

Why is therapy important for addiction recovery?

Therapy is vital for addiction recovery as it addresses the psychological aspects of addiction. Without addressing these underlying issues or reflecting on the root cause, the chances of success in recovery are unlikely.
