Addiction and Coping

Addiction is only a symptom of the problem, and is usually our best attempt to cope.

Addiction is usually our best attempt at coping. Whether you’re trying to manage painful emotions, cover a past relationship hurt, numb the pain brought about tough decisions in the absence of good options, or simply caught in a lifestyle that is hard to break free from, Watershed can help you help yourself.

We help clients struggling with alcohol and other substances
from the perspective of understanding addiction as a symptom of the problem and not the root problem itself. We aim to help you develop the tools, techniques, and coping strategies to support you on your walk toward freedom from addiction.

Our addictions therapy is informed by Motivational Interviewing and follows an abstinence-based approach to relapse-prevention.
