Psychotherapy for Clients With Addictive Disorders

Addictive disorders can be particularly challenging for clients.

Sometime clients with addictive disorders also suffer from other mental health issues, creating even greater struggles for them to overcome. In your role, you have the opportunity to help clients address their addictions and improve outcomes for both the clients and their families.
