Addiction Counsellor Auckland.

If you are dealing with an addiction to drugs and or alcohol, you have come to the right place. The Addiction Clinic specializes in the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Our Addiction Counsellors will work with you to find the root cause of your addiction and help you with proven relapse prevention methods.

Dealing with any addiction can be a baffling process, often with few answers and only more questions. When dealing with an addiction, the key is to work with an addiction counseling service in Auckland that specializes in treating drug and alcohol addiction. Simply visiting a generic counselling service will often only lead to prolonged use and no real headway.

You will work one-on-one with a specialised addiction counsellor. Our addiction counselling service in Auckland is also available after hours for people who are working.

Addiction Treatment Auckland.

Cognitive behavioural therapy stands out as the top choice for treating addiction. This method focuses on changing harmful thought patterns and behaviours that fuel the addiction.

People with substance use issues often face deep-rooted habits, like relying on drugs to cope with stress or low moods. CBT helps them spot these triggers and build better ways to handle them.

Take drug and alcohol addiction, for example. A person might drink or use drugs to escape work pressure. In CBT sessions, they learn to identify stress as the trigger.

Studies show CBT cuts relapse rates by up to 50% in the first year after treatment, based on reviews from health groups like the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Other methods, such as the 12-step programs and generic counselling, sit as low as 5%.

Experts praise CBT for its practical edge. Dr. Alan Marlatt, a key figure in addiction research, once said it empowers patients to take control of their choices. Unlike some meds that only mask symptoms, CBT digs into the root causes. It teaches tools for life, so recovery sticks long-term.

A common question we are asked is How many counseling sessions do I need? After the first session, you will have a good idea of how many sessions you will need.

We have had some clients who have only done two sessions and have broken free from a severe addiction, and some others it may take a month or two.

At the addiction clinic, we specialize in the treatment of addictions, and we waste no time on attacking the root cause of your addiction and give you the tools you need to get started in your first addiction counseling session.

Our goal as addiction counselors is to get you to a state of sobriety as soon as possible, but in a way that’s sustainable in the long term.
