Counselling is effective in helping an individual with addiction work towards overcoming it, reduce their chances of relapse, and maintain their recovery.
A counsellor can help a person with addiction increase their awareness about what caused them to engage in their addiction, the negative thoughts and behaviours associated with and that contribute to their addiction, learn healthy coping skills, learn to identify and manage their potential triggers, as well as create a tailored treatment plan to maintain long-term sobriety.
The number of counseling sessions required differs for each individual with addiction.
