Substance Abuse

Breaking Free from Addiction

If you're struggling with alcohol, drugs, or other substances, you already know how much it's costing you - relationships, health, work, self-respect, and peace of mind. You might have tried to quit on your own multiple times, or maybe you're not sure if your use has crossed the line into addiction. Either way, you're here, and that matters. Addiction isn't a moral failing or a lack of willpower; it's a complex condition that changes your brain and requires professional support to overcome. You don't have to hit "rock bottom" to deserve help, and you don't have to do this alone. Recovery is possible, and your life can be different.

When Substance Use Becomes a Problem

Substance abuse exists on a spectrum, and recognizing where you are is the first step. Warning signs include using more than you intended, unsuccessful attempts to cut back, spending significant time obtaining or using substances, neglecting responsibilities, continuing to use despite negative consequences, needing more to achieve the same effect, experiencing withdrawal symptoms, or using substances to cope with emotions or stress. You might have strained relationships, financial problems, legal issues, or health concerns related to your use. Many people with substance use disorders also struggle with co-occurring mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or trauma - treating both together is essential for lasting recovery. If you're questioning whether you have a problem, that question itself is worth exploring in therapy.

Compassionate Support for Recovery

At Landry Therapy Group, we provide substance abuse counseling that addresses both the addiction and the underlying issues driving it. We don't judge or shame - we understand that addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failure. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care to help you understand your relationship with substances, develop healthier coping mechanisms, identify triggers, prevent relapse, and build a life you don't want to escape from. We work collaboratively with you to create a treatment plan that meets you where you are, whether you're considering change, actively working toward sobriety, or maintaining long-term recovery. We also address co-occurring mental health conditions to ensure comprehensive, lasting healing. We offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents, with both in-person sessions in Mansfield and virtual counseling throughout Texas.
