Addiction Psychotherapy Poznan

Therapy is a complex process that requires both collaboration with a specialist and the patient's motivation and individual work. We know that each case is different, which is why at Nasz Gabinet we apply an approach tailored to the individual's specific situation and addiction history, depending on the type of addiction.

Addiction Psychotherapy

This is the main form of addiction treatment, during which the patient, in collaboration with the therapist, identifies harmful patterns in their behavior and works on changing them. Therapy helps find alternative methods for coping with emotions, repair relationships with others, and return to proper functioning in society. It can take individual or group form.

Pharmacotherapy

In some cases, especially with substance addictions such as alcohol, pharmacological treatment may be necessary. Using appropriate medications under medical supervision helps alleviate withdrawal symptoms and maintain abstinence. Pharmacological treatment may be recommended if accompanying symptoms of depression or anxiety are identified, which may be the cause of addiction or intensify its symptoms.

Behavioral Therapy

This involves learning new behaviors and skills to help the addicted person combat destructive mechanisms. It's an opportunity to develop effective strategies for dealing with problems that may cause addiction and lead to relapses.

Nasz Gabinet applies a holistic approach to therapy, considering not only the addiction itself but also its impact on the patient's personal life and mental health. We offer assistance in diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring health status after the process to ensure lasting results and improved quality of life. Addiction treatment at Nasz Gabinet in Poznan includes:

Diagnosis

The first step in undertaking treatment is identifying the problem. A thorough diagnosis conducted by our specialists allows us to understand the nature of the addiction, its scale, and impact on the patient's life. During diagnostic examinations, we gather information about the addicted person, their physical and mental health status, life situation, and expectations regarding the treatment process. Based on this, we create a personalized plan that will address the patient's individual needs, ensuring the highest treatment effectiveness.

Detox

In cases of addiction to substances such as alcohol, drugs, or medications, to begin the therapeutic process, it's necessary to cleanse the body of all substances. For this purpose, Nasz Gabinet offers detoxification services conducted at our Poznan facility under the supervision of experienced specialists. Detox is a safe and effective method for cleansing the body and stabilizing the patient's condition.

Collaboration with psychologist and therapist

During therapy, the patient collaborates with addiction specialists through active participation in sessions. Meetings can take the form of individual therapy, where the person works one-on-one with a therapist or psychologist, or group therapy, where other addicted individuals create a mutual support network with the patient, exchanging experiences and strategies for coping with addiction.

Support after therapy completion

Addiction treatment is a long process that doesn't end after leaving the office. Many patients struggle with the risk of relapse, which is why participating in regular check-ups after treatment completion is important to help maintain therapy effects and develop strategies for managing potential addiction recurrence.

At Nasz Gabinet Poznan, individualized addiction psychotherapy programs are conducted in in-office and online formats. Available monthly packages (6 sessions), three-month (14 sessions), six-month (26 sessions), and annual (50 sessions) include problem diagnosis, therapeutic plan, learning techniques for managing alcohol cravings and emotional control.

Addiction therapy at Nasz Gabinet in Poznan covers treatment of a wide spectrum of problems, both related to substance use and behavioral addictions. Patients who come to our clinic struggle with conditions such as:

Alcohol addiction psychotherapy

Alcohol use disorder is one of the most common addictions. Uncontrolled drinking causes numerous health, psychological, and social problems. Untreated alcoholism can lead to heart, liver, and kidney diseases, as well as disorders such as depression and anxiety states. The social consequences of alcoholism include deteriorating relationships with loved ones, professional problems including job loss and financial instability, and stigmatization and exclusion by surroundings, which can intensify psychological issues.

Drug addiction

Drug addiction can involve using substances including marijuana, amphetamines, cocaine, or opioids. Taking these substances results in strong brain changes that, by becoming accustomed to their effects, cause addiction. Many drugs, such as heroin, can be addictive after just one use. The effects of drug addiction can be very serious, even fatal. Depending on the substance used, drugs can cause organ damage, psychological disorders, and in cases of overdose, cessation of vital functions and death.

Medication addiction

Medication abuse can involve both prescription and over-the-counter preparations. Addiction most often concerns painkillers and may begin with taking substances in a controlled manner. The person falling into addiction begins to become accustomed to the medication's effects, losing control over the quantity and frequency of intake, gradually increasing doses to feel the same effect. Medication abuse leads to organ damage, including stomach, liver, and kidneys, causing numerous diseases that may pose a threat to life. As with drugs, there is a risk of substance overdose and death.

Gambling addiction

Pathological gambling is a behavioral addiction manifested by difficulty in refraining from participating in games involving money. Behind this are complicated psychological processes that push the addicted person to continue gambling despite noticeable harm. The addiction results in financial, family, and often legal problems. Independent attempts to break the addiction most often end in failure, which is why it's important for the person to seek professional help.

Computer addiction

Particularly in recent years, in connection with intensive technology development, the problem of electronic device abuse has become increasingly noticeable. Computer addiction can affect people of any age and include excessive gaming, spending time on the internet, or social media. This problem negatively affects the addicted person's social life, psyche, career, or education. Excessive time spent in front of a computer also negatively affects physical health, causing eye diseases and posture defects, among other things.

Pornography addiction

Compulsive need to view pornographic materials is a serious behavioral disorder affecting psyche and social life. The addicted person may have distorted perception of intimate relationships, being influenced by unrealistic images presented in pornography. This can lead to decreased sensitivity, loss of impulse control, erectile dysfunction and libido, which in turn can affect relationships with partners and surroundings, as well as psychological problems.

Shopping addiction

Shopping addiction is characterized by feelings of compulsion and lack of control over one's impulses. The person experiences a strong need to buy despite noticeable negative consequences. The addiction often leads to serious financial problems, family conflicts, and psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression.

Alcohol detox in Poznan is a medical process of safely cleansing the body of alcohol, conducted by an addiction physician. Detoxification alleviates withdrawal symptoms and stabilizes the patient's condition before beginning proper psychological therapy. After completing detox, a good alcohol addiction physician may propose an alcohol implant, which blocks the pleasant effects of alcohol and protects against impulsively reaching for alcohol in difficult moments.

However, both detox and the implant constitute only medical support for the initial stage – they don't treat the emotional or psychological causes of addiction. Real change comes from addiction psychotherapy, which allows understanding addiction mechanisms, working through difficult emotions, and learning to live without alcohol.

Addiction is a serious disease with negative consequences in many areas of life. Undertaking treatment provides a chance to improve the situation and regain control over one's behavior. Patients after completing therapy at Nasz Gabinet noticed improvements in physical and mental health, better relationships with surroundings, and greater ability to cope with stress and daily problems.

The ultimate therapy effects depend on patient engagement, support from family and friends, and quality of treatment. Nasz Gabinet offers all the tools to overcome addiction, helping develop new, healthy habits. Our experience, backed by many years of collaboration with addicted individuals, helps our patients achieve long-lasting effects and introduce positive changes in life.
