Our Approach to Individual Substance Abuse Counseling

At California Center for Change, we understand the unique challenges that individuals facing substance use disorders (or substance abuse, as it is more commonly known) encounter. Our approach is rooted in empathy and tailored to address your specific needs, recognizing that addiction is not just a problem but a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors.

What is Harm Reduction Psychotherapy?

Our dedicated team of therapists is well-versed in harm reduction psychotherapy, a client-centered approach to individual substance abuse counseling that emphasizes reducing the negative consequences of substance use while respecting your autonomy and personal goals. We believe in meeting you where you are on your recovery journey and helping you make positive changes at your own pace.

Treating Addiction as a Biopsychosocial Phenomenon

Addiction's impact extends beyond the physical act of substance misuse. At California Center for Change, we embrace the biopsychosocial model of addiction, which recognizes that addiction is influenced by biological, psychological, and social elements. Our therapists take a comprehensive view to provide you with a holistic individual substance abuse counseling treatment plan that addresses every facet of the addiction.

Compassionate Individual Substance Abuse Counseling

We prioritize compassion in our counseling sessions. Our therapists provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can openly explore your struggles, emotions, and aspirations.
