Not every person struggling with alcohol and drug abuse requires an inpatient or intensive outpatient drug rehab program to overcome their issues, but they may still need some level of substance abuse or addiction counseling. For these young people (ages 13-25), The Cornerstone Program offers fee-based counseling services to help them remove themselves from the cycle of substance abuse or addiction. Substance abuse counseling can be an important first step to making a full recovery and living a happy, healthy, fulfilling, and sober life.
If you’ve got a loved one requiring individual substance abuse counseling, contact our drug rehab center or call us at (303) 690-0082 to set up a no-cost substance abuse evaluation.
About Our Individual Substance Abuse Counseling Services
Individual substance abuse counseling can be extremely helpful in identifying the factors and behaviors in a young person’s life that may be contributing to the drug problem. After working with the young person to identify these factors, an effective treatment plan can be formulated to work through these issues.
Individual substance abuse counseling can also be a fantastic help during the aftercare process from inpatient, outpatient, or residential substance abuse treatment. It is well known that the quality of aftercare is a critical determining factor in mitigating a newly sober individual’s chances of making the transition from drug abuse rehabilitation to long-term recovery. The Cornerstone Program sees aftercare as one of the biggest opportunities for improvement in the addictions treatment world.
During individual substance abuse counseling, one of our certified addiction counselors will work with both the young person and their family to create treatment plans tailored for their unique situation. This treatment plan not only addresses the abuse and addiction, but also any contributing emotional and social issues. The treatment may involve participating in a drug abuse support group, age-specific sober social activities, or other activities that may help with recovery.
An Overview of Our Individual Substance Abuse Counseling
- Individual substance abuse counseling appointments are usually scheduled on a weekly or biweekly basis depending on the client’s unique needs and schedule.
- Counseling sessions are generally scheduled in one-hour increments.
- Focusing on holistic treatment, our individual counseling services focus on addressing the social, emotional, mental health, and behavioral health needs of the teen or adolescent.
- The goal of our individual counseling services is to help young people transition into long-term recovery, rather than to simply stop using drugs for a few months. We focus on providing young people with tools to respond to peer pressure, disconnect from negative influences, develop positive peer relationships, and improve family relationships in the long-term.
- Our individual counseling is particularly useful for teens or young adults who have already completed inpatient or outpatient programs. Recovery is not a 30 day process – treating it as such almost always ends in more trouble for the drug user and family down the road.
- Individual counseling is very important for young people who may be just beginning to experiment with drugs or alcohol, as it can help prevent them from falling into addiction and abuse.
- Like all of our other services, we heavily emphasize parent involvement in our individual counseling process. Learn more about our parent support group.
