As a substance abuse and mental health counselor, I frequently work with individuals who are experiencing difficulties in both areas. I have found it is most helpful to treat both disorders simultaneously. The challenge for the client is twofold. The first is to regain a sense of personal power and control over one's life. The second is to establish a positive direction toward a set of personally rewarding goals. In assisting the client, my preferred method of intervention is mindfulness cognitive behavioral therapy, which utilizes a large set of effective strategies.
Taking the first step toward getting help is often the most difficult
