The use of alcohol and substances can complicate any relationship. The problematic use of alcohol and drugs can lead a non-using partner to feel confused, frustrated, and alone. It can be challenging to figure out if your partner's use is something to be concerned about and whether or not it is appropriate to seek help. The over use of alcohol or drugs can make it hard to address all the various challenges that arise in having a successful relationship. Our therapists are able to treat both the addiction and the relationship issues so that relationships can be maintained through the challenges of gaining long-term recovery for both partners.
