Have you recently completed a recovery program? Are you feeling nervous about getting back to “normal life” and staying sober?
If you are feeling this way, you are not alone. Virtual Counselling can help you right from the comfort of your home.
Substance misuse can simply be defined as a pattern of harmful use of any substance for mood-altering purposes. "Substances" can include alcohol and other drugs (illegal or not) as well as some substances that are not drugs at all.
​
Misuse can result because you are using a substance in a way that is not intended or recommended, or because you are using more than prescribed.
​
Counselling can help you overcome substance addiction by focusing on correcting certain behaviours. Substance misuse is usually a coping mechanism against emotionally overwhelming past events or memories. Substances are often used to provide instant gratification instead of facing certain issues.
How can we help?
Esha Shoker developed a 16-Week recovery program which you can complete from the comfort of your home! You will meet with Esha Shoker via zoom once or twice per week (depending on what works for you) and she will help you stay focused and committed to your after care plan.
​
The first target is sobriety, followed by empowering you with adaptive skills and finding new coping strategies that deal with the issues that caused the addiction.
​Several counselling therapies treat substance misuse. No one method is known to be better than another. Likewise, no one approach works for everyone with an addiction. The right treatment plan will be tailored to your addiction and individual needs — something that we can confidently curate for you.
Substance addiction can be ended, allowing you to live a healthy, productive life.
We are here to help and we will get through this together.
