Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be sober to start therapy?
No. Many of our clients come in still using and unsure what they want to do about it. We meet you where you are and help you get clear on your own goals — abstinence for some, moderation or harm reduction for others. We don't require you to declare a decision before we can work with you. What we do ask is honesty about your use, so we can actually help.
Is 12-step the only path to recovery, or are there other options?
There are many paths. 12-step programs (AA, NA, Al-Anon) work well for a lot of people and we happily support clients who use them. But there's also SMART Recovery, Refuge Recovery, medication-assisted treatment, faith-based recovery, and purely clinical approaches like CBT for substance use and relapse prevention. We help you find what fits your beliefs, personality, and situation — and it's fine if that changes over time.
What if I've relapsed multiple times before?
Relapse is part of many recovery stories, not a sign that you're broken or that treatment doesn't work. Each relapse is data — about what triggered it, what supports were missing, and what needs to be different this time. We take that seriously without shame, and we build a recovery plan that accounts for the specific patterns that have tripped you up before. Long-term sobriety often comes after multiple attempts; the goal is to keep going.
Can therapy help with process addictions like porn, gambling, or food?
Yes. Behavioral addictions follow many of the same patterns as substance addictions — escalation, loss of control, shame cycles, and impact on relationships and functioning. The same evidence-based approaches (CBT, relapse prevention, and often deeper work on trauma and shame underneath) apply. We treat process addictions with the same seriousness as substance use, and we do so without moralizing.
Will my family need to be involved in treatment?
Not necessarily, though it can help. Addiction affects the whole family system, and involving a partner or family member can accelerate recovery — especially around communication, trust rebuilding, and shifting enabling patterns. We can bring loved ones in for specific sessions when that's useful, or refer them to their own therapist or to Al-Anon-style support. Whether and how to involve family is your call.
