Substance Abuse Counseling
Drug addiction, also known as substance use disorder, affects the brain and behavior, causing an inability to control legal or illegal drug use, despite negative consequences to one’s physical, social, spiritual, and emotional health. Addiction can start with experimentation, leading to more frequent use, that can lead to physical tissue dependence and physical and psychological withdrawal when the substance is no longer consumed. Source: Mayo Clinic
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 7 in 10 adults who ever had a substance use problem considered themselves to be recovering or in recovery. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that there were more than 100,000 drug-involved overdose deaths in 2022. Source: SAMHSA
Signs of someone who is abusing substances:
- Changing friends a lot
- Spending a lot of time alone
- Losing interest in favorite things
- Not taking care of themselves – for example, not taking showers, changing clothes, or brushing their teeth
- Being really tired and sad
- Eating more or eating less than usual
- Being very energetic, talking fast, or saying things that don’t make sense
- Being in a bad mood
- Quickly changing between feeling bad and feeling good
- Sleeping at strange hours
- Missing important appointments
- Having problems at work or at school
- Having problems in personal or family relationships

POJ Wellness clients who are seen for primarily substance abuse are encouraged and supported in seeking community support through the 12 steps, Smart Recovery, or Refuge/Dharma Recovery as well as medication management for cravings and relapse prevention. Each client is allowed to invite one family member to the 3rd session and on. This will allow the client as well as the loved one to learn about the addiction and the recovery process. Throughout treatment, traumas are processed as well as skills to prevent relapse and manage internal states will be explored with the substance abuse counselor.
