Therapy For addiction
“What is addiction, really? It is a sign, a signal, a symptom of distress. It is a language that tells us about a plight that must be understood.
- Alice Miller”

Many therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy and MI, can benefit people suffering from addiction.
