A major part of the problem with addiction is how it changes the brain. Specifically, it changes the part of the brain that’s responsible for feelings of pleasure. Because the brain is changed slowly and without the person becoming completely aware, the person may be unaware that their problem has gotten out of control, and this is why the support of a loved one or a trusted professional can be so helpful. A professional counselor will very likely be able to help an addict understand their problem, manage it, and recover from it, so this kind of support is often necessary. Often, medication-assisted treatment will help a patient most effectively. Here at Advanced Psych Care, we provide the kind of support you or your loved one should have throughout the recovery process. We’re able to provide medication-assisted treatment, telepsychiatry (mental health care via phone or videoconference), medication management, prescription medication, and/or a referral to see a mental health professional like a counselor.
