addiction services
Reflections specialises in addiction issues. This covers the whole gamut of addictions, both substance and process. It includes alcoholism and drug addiction as well as gambling, eating disorders, sexual addiction, and relationship addiction.
We use a variety of therapeutic paradigms to deal with addiction. As with all of our services, the assessment of the individual and thus matching their specific issues with the appropriate therapeutic tool, is one of Reflections' underlying core principles.
We will often encourage addicts to try the 12-step route and within this we encourage them to attend 12-step meetings e.g. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Overeaters Anonymous (OA). Alongside this we encourage people to work through 12-step workbooks both with their sponsor and their therapist. We also provide our own therapist-led closed meetings to give an additional layer of support to overcome the very difficult problem that is called addiction.
Although we believe that the 12-step path is a well trodden one that has helped literally millions of people worldwide, we also understand that it is not for everyone. Bearing this in mind, we use many other therapeutic techniques including long-term CBT, Rational Recovery, as well as working closely with a number of the leading treatment centers, both 12-step and non 12-step.
