Addiction is one of the deadliest diseases, killing more people annually than car crashes. The best way to work with addiction is to address it in a non-confrontational way before you or a loved one hits rock-bottom. Addiction is something that affects the whole family, so our support heals everyone that the addiction touches. With the guidance of our therapists, your family can heal and overcome the devastating effects of addiction.

The hardest step to overcome when addressing addiction is admitting the fact that you have an addiction. Addiction can come in a variety of forms, the most common being alcohol, drug, and sexual addictions. Addiction is one of the deadliest diseases that humans can suffer from. Annually, more people die from addiction than car crashes. Fortunately, one of these is preventable and you don’t have to wait before reaching out for help for you or a loved one. With our guidance at Utah Therapy, we will help you with addiction intervention. This will stop any damaging behavior to your loved one before they cause any further unintended consequences to themselves or others. By intervening before rock-bottom, working to reverse the addiction becomes easier for everyone.

The process we offer is designed to support families to come together and make decisions. We refrain from blaming one person and seek for solutions the entire family agrees upon. From the beginning, we aim to build a healthy family unit through respect and honesty, devoid of secrets and pressure.

Addiction isn’t a simple thing that can be overcome by just “wanting it bad enough”. Often, addiction becomes a habit after acting as a coping mechanism to hide something else and may be linked to other kinds of damaging behavior. It is impossible and pointless to address the addiction without also addressing the underlying cause. Our therapists empower you and your family to dig deep as you search for the root cause of the addiction. This makes it possible to address what is causing the sufferer to fall back into bad habits. By looking into the cause, our counselors will be able to help you come up with a plan that addresses the addiction at all levels and discover long-term solutions.

Because the results of addiction are not confined to the individual, individual addiction therapy sessions may be supported with group or family sessions. For example, addiction may be putting a strain on a marriage, which will then put a strain on the family. Our therapists will work individually with the one suffering and then extend their work to other family members. This process is designed to help families strengthen their relationships and come together again
