Addictions and substance use counselling is a critical service offered at Psynergy Centre in Medicine Hat, designed to support individuals grappling with the challenges of addiction and substance use in a private intensive outpatient basis. Our approach to counselling is compassionate, confidential, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. By providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment, we aim to empower our clients to understand their addiction, explore underlying issues, and develop effective coping strategies for recovery and long-term wellness.

Key Components of Our Addictions and Substance Use Counselling Services:

• Personalized Assessment: Each journey begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the nature of the addiction, its impact on the individual’s life, and any co-occurring mental health conditions. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of the client.
• One-on-One Counselling: Our experienced counsellors work closely with clients through one-on-one sessions, providing the space to discuss personal challenges, fears, and goals. This individualized attention ensures that each client feels heard, understood, and supported throughout their recovery journey.
• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We utilize CBT and other evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with addiction. This includes developing healthier coping mechanisms and strategies to deal with triggers and cravings.
• Group Therapy: In addition to individual counselling, we offer group therapy sessions that provide an opportunity for clients to share experiences and support each other in a safe and confidential setting. These sessions foster a sense of community and mutual understanding, which is invaluable during recovery.
• Family Support and Education: Recognizing the significant impact that addiction can have on families, Psynergy Centre provides support and education for family members. This includes guidance on how to best support their loved one through recovery while also taking care of their own well-being.
• Relapse Prevention Planning: A key part of our counselling services involves helping clients develop comprehensive relapse prevention plans. These plans are designed to identify potential triggers, outline strategies for managing high-risk situations, and provide a clear action plan to maintain sobriety.
• Holistic Wellness Support: At Psynergy Centre, we believe in the importance of holistic health in addiction recovery. Our services include access to complementary therapies such as yoga, meditation, and nutrition counselling, which can enhance physical and mental well-being.
