As an addict, you are often unable to stop using a substance or participating in behaviour, even when you want to. You may have a range of reasons or experiences in your past ranging from personal to psychological which prompt you to engage in your addictive behaviours.
Counselling therapy is one of the tools in your arsenal to help you to address the behaviours and causes behind your addictions.
At The Hader Clinic, you will engage in individual and group counselling sessions which are aimed at helping you to address the physical, emotional, social, psychological, emotional, and spiritual effects of addiction. We will provide you with the support you need to move through your addiction and develop new tools and strategies to ensure you have the strength to move past your addiction.
Counselling at The Hader Clinic includes:
Addiction is a pervasive and ongoing issue for addicts who live with it. It causes harm and suffering to the addict and to their loved ones. Counselling is a critical part of your addiction treatment because it is a place where you can talk about the reasons why you use, and develop strategies to deal with triggers when they arise.
One of the biggest struggles faced by addicts is the social conditioning around using drugs and alcohol. These social cues can then be a powerful prompt to use drugs, and without appropriate strategies in place - like those developed in counselling - it can be hard to go through recovery.
Counselling provides:
You will be working with a therapist in a one-on-one setting and also in group therapy sessions as part of your inpatient treatment, and also when you participate in outpatient treatment. You can expect that your treatment will be entirely confidential, and that your therapist will be a non-judgmental and professional ally who is focused on your recovery.
Counselling is empowering, and while your first sessions may be difficult, you will develop a professional relationship with your therapist that will be a powerful tool as you move through your addiction treatment.

This initial residential rehab program is the first critical step towards long term recovery. All patients at The Hader Clinic begin with a 28-Day Withdrawal & Detox Program that initiates detox and manages the physical symptoms of withdrawal. Patients also begin group and individual therapy, and learn to enjoy recreational activities.
The aim of this 60 to 90-day residential rehab program is to introduce patients to a life free from addiction, and offer them independence. This program offers a range of therapies, counselling sessions, and other activities for inpatients.
Recovering addicts often need ongoing support as they reintegrate with society. Outpatient Relapse Prevention is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that offers this service in the world outside of our treatment facilities.
Support services exist for recovering addicts after they return to the outside world. These services are similar to the residential rehab treatment services the addicts received at The Hader Clinic.
Every session of therapy is slightly different, depending on what type of therapy you are engaging in. Some therapy sessions will be focused on CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and so will be targeted on behaviour modification through a shift in thinking patterns.
Other sessions might be focused on trauma or grief recovery, and so will involve talking and working through some past experiences or memories. The one overriding factor will be that your therapy will be honest, professional, respectful, empathetic, and geared towards getting the best possible result for you as an individual.
As an inpatient, you will have regular individual sessions. In addition to individual counselling, you will also have plenty of group therapy sessions every week. We can discuss the number of sessions you will have, and answer any other questions you might have, in a confidential and free session prior to admission.
Counselling is a critical part of your treatment and recovery. You will engage in ongoing outpatient counselling, but are also encouraged to seek the help of a professional counsellor. We will be able to provide you with the necessary resource and guidance to help you on the path to recovery.
You will generally always be able to receive treatment from a counsellor with your preferred choice in terms of gender. We understand that sometimes certain things are easier to say to someone of the same gender, and so wherever possible, we will ensure you are comfortable and feel safe in your treatment environment.
The first step towards and healthier and happier life begins with talking to someone. Get in touch with us today to begin your journey through individual counselling.
