Substance Abuse Counseling

We understand that addressing substance use can be challenging, and we are here to offer the support and guidance you need to embark on a path toward recovery and wellness.

What is Substance Use Counseling?

Substance use counseling is a therapeutic process designed to help individuals understand, manage, and overcome substance use and addiction. Our counseling services are tailored to support those struggling with alcohol, drugs, prescription medications, and other substances, providing them with tools and strategies to achieve and maintain sobriety.

Our Approach

At Winchester Community Mental Health Center, we employ a comprehensive and compassionate approach to substance use counseling:

  • Individual Counseling: One-on-one sessions with a licensed counselor to explore personal challenges, develop coping strategies, and work towards recovery goals.

  • Group Counseling: Engaging with others in similar situations in a supportive group setting, which helps to build a sense of community and shared experience.

  • Family Counseling: Involving family members in the recovery process to improve communication, understanding, and support within the family unit.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A therapeutic approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with substance use.

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI): A client-centered technique aimed at enhancing motivation to change substance use behaviors through empathetic dialogue.

  • Relapse Prevention: Developing strategies and skills to prevent relapse and maintain long-term recovery, including managing triggers and stressors.
