Alcohol and Other Drugs

Recreational or Problematic?

How do you know when just enjoying a few drinks or recreational drug use might be causing you problems?

Some things to look out for include:

  • needing more and more alcohol or drugs to feel any effects
  • withdrawal symptoms a few hours after you have stopped using alcohol or drugs (e.g. shaking, sleep problems, agitation, anxiety, nausea)
  • having trouble cutting down or controlling the amount of alcohol or drugs you use
  • sick days because you are hung-over
  • missing out on things you used to do or enjoy because of alcohol or drug use

Our therapies can dig deeper into the real causes of drug and alcohol related issues.
