Recovery that sees the whole person
One thing that sets Healing Harbor apart is the combination of mental health treatment and addiction expertise in one place. Many people have been told to “get sober first” before working on anything else, or have bounced between separate programs that don’t talk to each other. Here, substance use and mental health are treated as connected parts of the same story.
Who this is for
You might be:
- Wondering whether your drinking or use has become a problem
- Trying to cut back or stop, and finding it harder than expected
- In recovery and wanting support to stay steady and grow
- Living with both substance use and anxiety, depression, or trauma
- Rebuilding relationships, trust, or self-worth after addiction
Wherever you are, you will be met without judgment. Change rarely happens in a straight line. Setbacks are part of the process, not a reason to give up.
What recovery counseling may include
- Understanding your use: what it does for you, what it costs you, and what you want to change
- Coping skills for cravings, triggers, stress, and difficult emotions, drawing on CBT and DBT-informed skills
- Values-based change through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), building a life worth staying sober for
- Addressing what’s underneath, including trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression
- Relapse prevention planning that fits your real life
- Rebuilding connection with family, friends, and community
A note on safety
Stopping some substances suddenly, especially alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids, can be dangerous. If you are physically dependent, talk with a medical provider about withdrawal before you stop. If you need detox or a higher level of care, we can help you think through options.
Faith and recovery
For many people, faith or personal values are an important part of recovery. If that is true for you, those values can be part of your work together. If not, that is completely fine too. It is always your choice.
