Addictions & Recovery

Addictions can rob a person of what's most important to them. So often people caught in the cycle of addiction say "I do what I don't want to do, despite my best intentions"

As a Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor (CADC), Bonnie Artman has worked with people from all walks of life affected by drug, alcohol, gambling, food, and pornography addictions. By addressing the root of the addiction, recovery is possible and frees individuals to claim their lives again.

It is often most helpful when family members attend therapy sessions with the individual struggling with an addiction. In this way, the entire family system can learn about the role they play in how the addiction has been responded to and possibly enabled. The focus is not on blame; rather, how the entire family can create new patterns of relating.
