Who is an addiction psychotherapist and how can they help?
An addiction psychotherapist is a specialist who possesses knowledge and experience in working with individuals struggling with various types of addictions – from substance addiction (alcohol, drugs, medications) to behavioural addictions (e.g. gambling, computer addiction). Their role is to help patients understand the mechanisms of addiction and work on changing behaviours that lead to addictive patterns.
How can an addiction psychotherapist help?
A psychotherapist uses various therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, motivational therapy, and group therapy, to help addicted individuals. The specialist's tasks include providing help through:
- Understanding the causes of addiction – identifying the psychological, social, and emotional factors that may lead to addiction.
- Developing coping skills – learning healthy ways to manage stress, emotions, and temptations.
- Emotional support – enabling the patient to express their concerns, fears, and frustrations related to addiction.
- Developing a treatment plan – creating a therapeutic strategy aimed at helping overcome the addiction.
- Maintaining motivation for change – supporting the patient during difficult moments of the treatment process.
Addiction psychotherapist – when is it worth seeking support?
An addiction psychotherapist can help a person fighting addictions through an individual approach and effective therapeutic methods. It is worth seeking their help when:
- addiction begins to affect daily life,
- independent attempts to break free from the addiction end in failure,
- you want to understand the causes of your addiction,
- you want to improve your quality of life,
- you have difficulty maintaining abstinence.
