Do You Feel...

What brings people to counseling rarely arrives as one clear moment. More often it builds quietly: a feeling that lingers, a pattern that keeps repeating, a sense that something is off. If any of these sound familiar, reaching out to Foundations is a simple first step.

Increased Tolerance

Needing to consume larger amounts of drugs or alcohol to achieve the same effects, indicating a growing dependency on the substance.

Withdrawal Symptoms

Experiencing physical and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, tremors, nausea, and irritability when not using the substance, suggesting physical dependence.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Ignoring or failing to fulfill obligations at work, school, or home due to substance use, reflecting the impact of addiction on daily life.

Loss of Control

Being unable to limit or stop substance use despite a desire to do so, indicating a lack of control over consumption habits.

Social Isolation

Withdrawing from friends, family, and social activities in favor of substance use, leading to feelings of loneliness and alienation.

Continued Use Despite Consequences

Persisting in substance use despite experiencing negative consequences, such as health problems, legal issues, or relationship conflicts, demonstrating the power of addiction.

Risky Behaviors:

Engaging in dangerous activities, such as driving under the influence or using substances in unsafe environments, highlighting impaired judgment and risk-taking tendencies.

Financial Problems

Spending excessive amounts of money on drugs or alcohol, leading to financial strain and potential debt, reflecting the prioritization of substance use over financial stability.

Mental Health Issues

Experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other mental health disorders that are exacerbated by substance use, indicating a dual diagnosis and the need for integrated treatment.

Answers to Common Questions

What is drug and alcohol abuse counseling?

Drug and alcohol counseling is talk therapy that helps you understand why you use, how it affects your health, relationships and work, and what you want to change. You set the goals, whether that means cutting back or stopping, and your counselor helps you build skills to get there. Foundations provides outpatient counseling only, so medical detox or medication treatment would come from your physician or a treatment program.

How do I know if I need drug and alcohol abuse counseling?

If you experience symptoms such as increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, neglect of responsibilities, loss of control over substance use, social isolation, or continued use despite negative consequences, you may benefit from drug and alcohol abuse counseling.

What should I expect during my first counseling session?

During your first session, the counselor will conduct an assessment to understand your substance use history, personal background, and specific challenges. This helps in creating a tailored treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.

What are the costs associated with counseling or therapy sessions at Foundations?

At Foundations, each counseling or therapy session is $200. Your first consultation is always free, and you are able to meet with as many counselors as you need until you find the perfect match.

Does Foundations accept Insurance?

No. Foundations is private pay and does not bill insurance companies. If your plan has out of network benefits, we can give you documentation to submit for possible reimbursement, so check with your plan first. Paying privately keeps your counseling out of insurance records, avoids a required diagnosis, and lets you choose your counselor and how long your sessions last.

What if I need to reschedule my counseling session?

There is no charge for any session cancelled at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time.

Are you available in the evenings or on weekends?

Yes. Foundations offers early morning, daytime, evening and Saturday appointments, and online sessions can add flexibility. Call 970.227.2770 or book online, tell us what times work for you, and we will match you with a counselor whose schedule fits.

What types of therapy are used in drug and alcohol abuse counseling?

Common approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy to work with the thoughts and situations that lead to use, motivational interviewing to strengthen your own reasons for change, and relapse prevention planning for high risk moments. Family sessions can help loved ones understand recovery and rebuild trust. Foundations offers individual, couples and family talk therapy, and your counselor can talk with you about community recovery meetings if you want peer support.

Can counseling help with co-occurring mental health issues?

Yes. Anxiety, depression, trauma and grief often travel with substance use, and treating only one side rarely holds. Your counselor can work on both together, looking at how mood drives use and how use affects mood. Foundations counselors do not prescribe or advise on medication, so if you think medication could help, talk with your physician alongside counseling.

Is my privacy protected during counseling?

Yes. What you share in counseling is confidential and protected by law and professional ethics, with limited exceptions such as a serious risk of harm to yourself or others. Your counselor will explain those limits at the start. Your employer, family and others are not told you are in counseling without your written permission, which matters to many people worried about the stigma of substance use.

What if I'm not ready to quit entirely?

Counseling can still be beneficial even if you're not ready to quit entirely. Therapists can help you explore your ambivalence, set realistic goals, and work towards reducing substance use and minimizing harm.

Can family members be involved in my counseling process?

Yes, involving family members can be a valuable part of the counseling process. Family therapy can help improve communication, resolve conflicts, and provide a supportive environment for recovery.

What if I relapse during counseling?

Relapse is often a part of the recovery process. Counselors can help you understand the triggers that led to the relapse, develop strategies to prevent future occurrences, and continue working towards long-term sobriety.

Can Foundations help with detox or withdrawal?

No. Foundations offers outpatient talk therapy and does not provide detox, medical monitoring or medication. Stopping alcohol or some drugs suddenly can be dangerous, so talk with your physician before you quit, or go to an emergency room if withdrawal symptoms feel severe. Once you are medically safe, counseling can support you through early recovery and beyond. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
