Addiction Education
Anisa has worked in the field of Addiction & Recovery since 1990 and has found working with the out-patient population is her passion. She has established an educational program using an evidence based approach. Addiction is a brain disease- brain chemistry is altered when alcohol, drugs, and sugar are introduced. The goal is to return to a state of balance – emotional and physical health. Individuals learn the basics of addiction, in the brain and body, identifying triggers (physical and emotional), relapse prevention- how to manage emotions and behaviors without substances, and introduced to healthy coping skills for improving quality of life. The tele-therapy program is available in group and individual sessions.
