You Have Options!

The research is now in - The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected both our relationship with alcohol and recreational drug use! Some of the reasons we have started drinking and using more alcohol and other drugs includes reasons like stressful and dramatic events and continuing changes in habits. Other reasons include increased isolation, less socialization, changes in employment and stress due to the changing research regarding COVID-19 treatments. Some of the side-effects of these experiences may develop into shame, self-esteem, self-harm, identity issues, and our ability to regulate emotions. Alcohol, substances, drugs and other medications are more easily available than any time in our history. If you're looking for something other than Treatment Programs and/or 12-Step Programs, give us a call!
