Over time, drug and alcohol abuse problems may begin to cause difficulties in our life. Our health, emotions, relationships, spirituality, finances, family life, legal status, or employment can all become affected. For those who do begin to experience problems associated with drug or alcohol use, there is hope for recovery with the mental health counseling services offered at Liberty Bay Recovery in Portland, Maine.

We are able to prescribe and refill medication for anxiety and depression. However, we refer out for other mental health concerns. We assist you in finding the right psychiatrist in Portland, Maine wherever you are in your recovery. Certainly, more severe mental health concerns may arise after you have some time clean and sober. We do our best to find outside psychiatric help if these traits emerge or went undisclosed during admission.

Are you aware that there are millions of people worldwide battling all types of mental illnesses and addictions? Many of them are not even aware of their current situations, nor do they have anyone looking out for them. Unfortunately, many mental illnesses remain overlooked by even close friends and family members. Many people tied down by their own mental illnesses and addiction have already sought addiction counseling. However, many did not receive the right diagnosis and appropriate mental health counseling services. For example, addiction counseling for an individual suffering debilitating anxiety must combine with help from a psychologist and anxiety treatment in Portland, Maine.

The Importance of Mental Health Counseling

If an individual who suffers from mental illness or addiction isn’t cared for, even after their treatments or addiction counseling sessions, then they are very likely to relapse after their time of discharge from rehabilitation programs. Ensure that you or a loved one receives the proper treatments necessary for a full recovery and brighter outlook on life. Contact the mental health counselors at Liberty Bay Recovery in Portland, Maine today.

Alcohol and the use of drugs have been a great escape for millions of abusers worldwide. With the usage of drugs and alcohol, the abusers are able to reach a realm within themselves that enables them to feel better momentarily while pushing away any negative feelings that may be causing setbacks. Although the pain may subside for a short period of time, this is only a numbing effect that requires them to resort back to using again.

Not only does this addiction slowly take over their lives, but it also cuts away at their pockets, bank accounts, and hopes for the future. The momentary relief achieved through drug or alcohol usage does not persist. Thus, search for more of the substance resumes. This cycle never addresses the issues that underly the addiction within the individual. Once the feeling wears off, the problems they were thinking about before will be back, and the cycle continues repetitively.

Psychological Services and Addiction

Recovery is a necessary and important step in overcoming substance abuse and addiction. Unfortunately, many patients often fall back to their previous thoughts and beliefs after leaving their rehabilitation period. For this reason, it is imperative to follow-up with continuing services. Talk therapy, modification of behavior, and other addiction and psychological services implement self-awareness that benefits the addict in recovery. Therapy also provides coping mechanisms to deal with any emotions that may make them feel uncomfortable.

Liberty Bay counselors offer mental health counseling and addiction services that integrate into their patients’ specific rehabilitation programs. This combined approach treats the entirety of the patient’s problems, not just a single addiction. The treatment and recovery model has proven itself to lead towards long-term results. Individuals are able to learn about living a sober and productive life while allowing nothing to hold them back from their ultimate goals. Relief from the most severe symptoms, like that gained with help from a psychologist and program for personality disorders treatment in Portland, Maine, provides the opportunity for long-term management of the disorder.
