Therapy for Addiction in Charleston, SC
Helping You Break Free From Addiction and Reclaim Your Life
Addiction doesn’t develop overnight, and it’s not simply a matter of willpower. Whether you’re facing challenges with alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, pornography, or another compulsive behavior, addiction often begins as a way to manage stress, trauma, anxiety, or overwhelming emotions. What may have once felt like a relief can gradually take over, leaving you feeling powerless, ashamed, or alone. If you’re ready for a change, we’re here to support you—without judgment, without pressure, just genuine help for lasting healing.
We offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for addiction to help you overcome your addiction and create a life that feels meaningful and sustainable. No matter where you are on your path, whether you’re considering sobriety for the first time, navigating recovery while facing setbacks, or seeking deeper healing beyond the surface, we’re here to walk this journey with you.
How Addiction Therapy Can Help
Addiction isn’t just about the substance or behavior, it’s about what’s underneath. That’s why we take a comprehensive, individualized approach to treatment, addressing the emotional, psychological, and behavioral factors that contribute to addiction. Our therapy approach may include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identify and change thought patterns that lead to cravings and destructive behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing (MI): Explore your personal reasons for change in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Trauma-Informed Therapy: Work through past experiences that may be fueling addiction.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Address trauma-related thoughts and beliefs that may be reinforcing addictive patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Learn to accept difficult emotions and commit to meaningful changes that align with your values.
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT): Focus on strengths and solutions rather than problems to create positive, achievable changes.
Relapse Prevention & Coping Skills: Develop tools to manage stress, triggers, and urges in healthy ways.
Mindfulness & Emotional Regulation: Learn to tolerate discomfort, process emotions, and reconnect with yourself in healthier ways.
