LICENSED ALCOHOL AND DRUG COUNSELOR CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
Linda Welch
Addiction can lead us down a path we thought we would never walk. Sometimes we get lost and need gentle guidance to find our way back to live the life we were meant to live. Like the caterpillar that transforms into a butterfly You too can “ Emerge a New You!.” Addiction can take many forms besides drugs & alcohol, cigarettes & gambling. Sometimes what seems to be an addiction is a habit that needs to be broken. Together we can determine the difference & explore solutions. Additional examples: eating disorders, work, shopping, shoplifting, self mutilation, risky behaviors, video games, relationships, etc. You are NOT alone.
