Rethinking Your Relationship With Substances? Therapy Can Meet You Where You Are

One of the biggest myths about substance use is that you have to be in crisis before therapy makes sense. In reality, the best time to explore your relationship with substances is whenever you start wondering about it. Many people use alcohol or other substances to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, grief, or the pressure of simply getting through the week. That doesn't make you weak or broken — it makes you human, doing your best with the tools you've had.
