Being able to talk to someone about opioid dependency and have them guide you through recovery is an important component of therapy for drug addiction. Individual counseling provides you with this type of care as you work on healing from addiction. Anchor Addiction and Wellness Center offers counseling at our outpatient center in Chillicothe. Our counselors can help you understand how opioid addiction occurs and what you can do to fully recover and lead a healthy and fulfilling life.

What Is Drug Addiction Therapy?

Individual addiction therapy involves meeting one-on-one with a counselor and discussing opioid addiction. These counseling sessions allow you to gain a better understanding of how you became addicted to opioids and what kinds of triggers might put you at risk of relapse, such as being around certain people in your life or dealing with stressful situations. During counseling sessions, you’ll also learn strategies to help you manage stress and overcome addiction. The amount of time and the number of times you meet with a counselor will depend on your individual treatment plan.

Benefits of Therapy for Drug Addiction

Individual counseling provides you with practical help, encouragement and guidance that you’ll need to recover from opioid addiction. Talking to counselors allows you to discuss how you first started using opioids, how long you have been using them and what kinds of experiences you have had with opioid addiction. This information allows your counselor to determine the severity and length of your addiction, which can affect the kinds of strategies that might work best for you.

Individual counseling sessions also provide a chance to learn stress management techniques that can help reduce the risk of relapse. During your sessions, you can also develop skills aimed at helping you achieve a healthier life without opioid substances. Individual counseling involves exploring your interpersonal relationships if they have been affected by your struggle with addiction. During these sessions, you and your counselor can work on skills such as communication skills to repair these relationships.

With individual counseling, you can expect these benefits:

  • A better understanding of how opioid addiction occurs
  • Strategies for managing stress and lowering your risk of relapse
  • Develop skills for a healthy lifestyle
  • Work on skills to improve or repair interpersonal relationships
