| Addictions & Substance Dependence Dependence upon alcohol, drugs, medications, food, or other forms of addiction was once considered merely a personal weakness or character flaw that could be overcome by willpower. Today, it is understood that addictive behaviors involve complex interactions among biological, psychological, behavioral, social, and often spiritual components. We also understand that moving beyond addiction often requires understanding, patience, and respect within a combination of treatment formats. Regardless of the form of addiction, therapists at Spring Grove work with the client and if appropriate, the client's family to help identify and understand the addictive behaviors, develop meaningful and useful strategies for change, and institute personalized treatment to help maintain a successful path to recovery. We also believe it is important to coordinate with other practitioners who may be involved in the treatment approach, such as physicians, psychiatrists, and group therapists, among others. Recommendations regarding level of care will also be offered at the initial appointment. |
