Addiction Services

The disease of addiction is chronic and progressive with genetic, psychological, social, and environmental factors influencing its development. It is a disease that affects the whole person...mind, body, and spirit.

The individual has either continuous or periodic loss of control over using drugs and/or alcohol, is preoccupied with using despite the damage it is causing, and has distorted thinking, most notably denial.

The quantity of drugs and/or alcohol consumed is less important than the effect it has on the individual's life and the lives around him/her.

The first step in the recovery process is acknowledging that the use of drugs and/or alcohol is out of control and damaging the life of the individual.

Usage

In the last 12 months, have you?

Ever felt you should try to cut down on your drinking/using?
Ever been annoyed by someone criticizing your drinking/using?
Ever felt guilty about your drinking/using?

Ever had the need to have a drink or drug to "steady the nerves" ; get rid of hangover, or to feel "normal?"

If you answered YES to any one of these questions,

there is a good chance you are risk for addiction

Recovery

RECOVERY

While RockWater Counseling Center provides recovery services in various types of groups (clinical, individual, faith-based, men, woman, specialty) a person can identify their strengths and transition their past behaviors to positive life changes for a successful recovery free from abusive substance use or mental health issues. During the recovery process, the strengthening of a their mental health and substance use condition(s) are improved dramatically which is reflective in their health and overall wellness. Their improved self will allow them to reach their full potential.

Each person's strengths, coping skills, values, abilities and more are the foundation to their own recovery path. In addition to community, peers, friends and family members, which can all play a role in an individual's process of recovery, there is not one pathway to an individual's road to recovery. Finding the support and best approach for each individual will often lead to their success.

Continued growth and awareness of the recovery process along with managing set-backs are all key elements to a successful recovery of mental health and a substance use condition.
