Substance Use & Addiction
ADDICTION COUNSELLING TIMMINS: individual, couples and family therapy for addiction
We will meet you where you’re at; using a non-judgmental harm-reduction approach in assisting clients at any stage readiness or change.
Our Substance Use and Addiction therapists have extensive clinical experience and training in this field. We take a trauma-informed, client centered approach, ensuring to offer care that helps clients feel respected, dignified and treated with unconditional positive regard.
We work collaboratively with our clients to ensure your treatment plan is right for you!
We know that substance use and addiction is layered – change isn’t a simple matter of “willpower” or “discipline”. We recognize that addiction may be your current coping mechanism, whether that’s to find relief, stimulation, or escape.
Maybe you’ve been wondering if you’re dependent on a particular substance or habit, leaning on one or two “vices” to cope or take the edge off. Maybe your loved ones have voiced their concerns and you’re having difficulty making changes, or maybe you’ve been battling addiction for years, or are on the verge of losing something important to you.
We’re here for you.
We offer compassionate, specialized services for addiction, including but not limited to:
• Therapy for substance use: alcohol, mis-used prescription medication, illicit substances, marijuana, nicotine products
• Therapy for addictive habits: gambling addiction, internet addiction, gaming addiction
• Therapy for loved-ones: families, partners or care-givers
Our therapists use evidence-based therapies for substance use and addiction, which may include:
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• Rational-Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Trauma-therapies: EMDR, ITATM, IFS, Cognitive Processing Therapy
We also offer:
• Addiction-related screening and assessments, including the GAIN-Q3 and OCAN (which are required for entry to residential treatment programs)
• Urine screening and reports to third parties (if requested by clients)
• Referrals to community-based supports and/or residential treatment centers (if requested by clients)
Our therapist Suzie St Denis provides these additional services.
