My Substance Use


Are you concerned that you may have a problem with drugs or alcohol but you’re not certain whether it is really serious? Have you been avoiding talking to someone because you are afraid you’ll be told you have a problem and pressured to do something before you are ready? Do you know you have a problem, but feel uncertain about what to do? If so, consider setting up an appointment at Adaptation.

Adaptation is dedicated to providing you with a safe and comfortable environment where you can explore issues related to drug or alcohol use. Adaptation offers powerful tools like the Personal Feedback Report that can help you gain an objective understanding of your substance use so you can make a decision for yourself about what, if anything, you want to do to change. If you do decide that you want to alter your substance use, Adaptation will help provide you with guidance through the change process so that you can create a life that reflects what is truly important to you and the people you love.
