Addiction Counseling in Rhode Island
Addiction Counseling can be appropriate for individuals of all ages. This may include children, adolescents, or adults. The therapy sessions are used for assessing the addiction, education around the addiction and together formulating a goal for the patient. The therapist and patient will agree on a treatment plan. This may also involve your primary care physician.
We treat individual who are addicted to alcohol, street drugs, prescription pills such as pain killers. Individual therapy, group therapy, and a collaboration with your primary physician may be needed. We will assist in building ways to make healthy choices and increasing your support system.
During addiction counseling, we often discover that there are co-existing disorders. These issues may be affecting the overall functioning of the person dealing with the addiction. We may identify them and come up with a strategy to deal with those as well.
Each individual is different. Each length of treatment will depend on the individual and the substance or thing they are addicted to. We may make help you make additional referrals if we feel the severity is such that more support is needed.
With offices in East Providence, Cranston, and Lincoln, we are often able to get patients in quickly to get the help they need. You can contact us now!
Understanding Borderline Disorder!
Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder: “I love you…I hate you.”
“Borderline” personality has it’s origins in the 1930s, when a psychoanalyst, Adolf Stern, noted that there were a group of emotionally troubled people who did not clearly fall into the two major clusters of psychopathology of that era: “neurotic” and “psychotic.” So, he called them a “borderland” group. The label, with slight modification, stuck. The BPD diagnosis has evolved considerably over the last 70 years, and it is now recognized as one of the Personality Disorders in the DSM-IV, the current diagnostic system in American Psychiatry.

Counseling for children may vary in the approach we take depending on the issues at hand. Every, child and family have their own set of challenges that they may need help with.
Other variables taken into consideration are their age and their presentation. For example the insight into the challenges, expressive issues, and personality. At times the interventions may use similar type of approaches but each treatment modality can be completely different.
Many times the therapist may have do analyze the child’s behavior and work at the level the child is presenting. Creating a strong bond that can be used as a therapuetic relationship is very important.
Evidence-based psychotherapy is backed by research and will be used depending on your child and his or her issues. The other extremely important piece to the puzzle is the role of the primary care giver and community social supports that will be able to offered to this child. A child does not get better alone.
