Taking the first step to talk to a counselor confidentially about your drinking or drug use doesn't necessarily mean you have a problem.  You just might want to explore your own thoughts about what is happening to you with someone who knows and won't tell anyone. 

If you are experiencing any of the following situations you might want to consider some personal counseling.

• Feeling the need to drink or use the drug regularly, which can be daily or multiple times a day
• Having intense urges to use
• Over time, needing more of whatever you currently prefer to get the same effect
• Doing things routinely to be certain that you maintain a constant supply 
• Not meeting obligations and work responsibilities
• Doing things you wouldn’t normally do to protect your supply, such as stealing
• Focusing more and more time and energy on getting and using your drug of choice or alcohol
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using the drug or drinking
• Repeated failed attempts to quit using

If you can relate to any of the above symptoms or behaviors, it may be time to consider professional counseling. Pink Cloud Therapy has experience helping many people stop all kinds of substance use including opioid and alcohol. We know a lot about choices with medications such as Suboxone, Vivitrol and Methadone Maintenance.
