Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be in crisis to seek addiction support?
No. You can seek support at any stage — whether you are questioning your relationship with substances, actively struggling, or in recovery. Early support can prevent escalation and build a strong foundation.
What approach do you use for addiction support?
We use a harm-reduction, client-centered approach alongside evidence-based techniques like CBT and motivational interviewing. We do not require abstinence as a condition of therapy — we meet you where you are.
