Substance Abuse Counseling

How Substance Abuse Counseling Works

Substance abuse counseling is built into every phase of your recovery at Precision Recovery. It’s not just a box to check—it’s where you face the real issues behind your substance use and learn how to respond differently.

You’ll meet regularly with a licensed counselor to talk through challenges, triggers, and past experiences that fuel your behavior. Together, you’ll develop strategies to handle stress, avoid relapse, and stay accountable.

In Substance Abuse Counseling, You’ll Work On:

• Recognizing triggers and cravings
• Understanding how past experiences shape current behavior
• Learning how to manage emotions without substances
• Building coping skills for real-world situations
• Creating a long-term plan for sobriety and stability

Every session is focused on progress—both personal and legal. Your counselor also helps document your growth, which can be used in court if needed.

What Makes Our Counseling Different

At Precision Recovery, counseling isn’t an afterthought. It’s part of a full recovery plan that includes medical care, legal advocacy, and long-term structure.

• Part of a Team-Based Approach
  Our substance abuse counselors work alongside physicians, case managers, and legal consultants to support your recovery from every angle.
• Evidence-Based Techniques
  Sessions use proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Relapse Prevention Planning.

This isn’t short-term help. It’s consistent support designed to change your behavior—and your outcome.

Who Needs Substance Abuse Counseling?

If alcohol or drug use is affecting your life, relationships, or legal standing, counseling should be part of your recovery. It’s especially important if:

• You’re facing a felony DWI or other substance-related charge
• You’ve relapsed or failed in other programs
• You struggle with stress, trauma, or emotional regulation
• You need professional documentation of your recovery progress

Counseling is where change begins. It helps you understand why things got off track—and how to keep them from going that way again.
