The causes of addiction are generally genetic and environmental. A person’s genetic can make him more vulnerable and more compulsive to addiction. Also, specific life events, trauma or stress can trigger one’s behavior to start using substances.

You can find below some of the methods that can help in treating addiction:

1. Detox helps patients to stay physically safe and healthy and can also remove cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
2. Cognitive behavioral therapy is focusing on reducing difficult behavior that’s associated with substance abuse.
3. Dialectical behavior therapy is normally used on patients who are having difficulties in handling their emotions or have suicidal thoughts.

Family therapy is very important because it can help families overcome all sorts of problems such as addictions, the illness of a member of the family or different behavioral issues. Family counseling will make the family stronger, it will not just make the problems go away but instead,  it will encourage its members to talk about their problems and try to fix them together.

The purpose of family therapy is to gather all its members in one place and persuade them to address all their issues, talk about everything that’s bothering them, their relationships, emotions and thoughts.

Usually, a family seeks the help of a specialized therapist when they notice that one of the members impacts the whole family with his/her behavior or when there is conflict between two members.

Divorce counseling can help you and your partner decide if you want to get a divorce, stay married or transition from being married to being single. A therapist will most likely not suggest to get a divorce, instead he will try to get to the bottom of the issue and do his best to fix your marriage.

Divorce counseling is a branch of psychotherapy meant to help couples recognize and solve their marital issues. Seeing a counselor can help both partners decide if they really want a divorce. They can discuss freely about their feelings and problems and they can try to overcome the conflicts they are encountering before reaching a final decision.
