Therapy for Substance Abuse
Therapy for substance abuse can also address mental illness like depression and anxiety. When every day is spent fearing, worrying, and searching for something that makes the patient a little bit happier it can be torture.
The thing is; every one of us is looking for that thing that can make us satisfied and “happy” in the real essence of the word. Far too often an addiction or a mental health disorder can act like a fog, making it impossible to find that elusive happiness. This is where a grave depression kicks in.
