Take Five Counselling: Addiction Support

The Oxford English Dictionary defines addiction as; "The fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity:

Addictions exist on a spectrum, but as they get stronger in our lives which they inevitably do, they become more pervasive and have a greater potential to be destructive on many levels. One fact is certain though, it is virtually impossible to obtain consistent recovery from an addiction, without the help or connection to another person.

Take Five Counselling offers a professionally run addiction recovery group to provide men and women with the opportunity to understand what drives their addiction and make lasting change to their behaviours. Part of the group dynamics work towards helping a client face from a new perspective what their addiction gives to them and also what it costs them, particularly relational perspective. This in turn provides greater motivation and support for lasting change.
