Our Services
Specialized Addiction Counseling
Evidence-based treatment for drug, alcohol, and gambling addictions — delivered with compassion, clinical expertise, and a genuine commitment to your recovery.
Every Path to Recovery Is Different
Addiction is not a moral failure. It is a complex condition shaped by biology, environment, trauma, and circumstance — and it responds to the right kind of care.
At Coastal Therapy Center, we meet you where you are. Whether you're taking your first step or rebuilding after a setback, our licensed counselors provide individualized treatment that respects your story and supports your goals.
"Reclaim your life from substance use — one step at a time."
Drug Addiction Counseling
Drug addiction affects every part of a person's life — relationships, health, work, and sense of self. Our counselors specialize in helping individuals understand the roots of their substance use and develop lasting strategies for recovery.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions tailored to your history, triggers, and goals. We use evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed approaches.
Relapse Prevention Planning
We work with you to identify warning signs, build coping strategies, and create a concrete plan for navigating high-risk situations.
Co-occurring Disorders
Substance use often accompanies anxiety, depression, PTSD, or trauma. We address both the addiction and underlying mental health conditions together.
Family Support
Addiction affects the whole family. We offer guidance and resources to help loved ones understand the recovery process and rebuild trust.
We have experience treating addiction to opioids, prescription medications, stimulants, cannabis, benzodiazepines, and other substances.
"A healthier relationship with alcohol — and with yourself — is possible."
Alcohol Addiction Counseling
Alcohol use disorder is one of the most common and most misunderstood addictions. It often develops gradually, and many people struggle for years before seeking help. There is no shame in that — and there is real, lasting help available.
Assessment & Personalized Planning
We begin with a thorough assessment of your drinking patterns, history, and goals to build a treatment plan that fits your life.
Behavioral Therapy
Using CBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, we help you identify the thoughts and emotions that drive drinking and replace them with healthier responses.
Harm Reduction & Abstinence Support
We work with your goals — whether that means moderation, reduction, or full abstinence — without judgment.
Rebuilding Relationships
Alcohol use disorder strains families and friendships. We help you navigate those conversations and rebuild the connections that matter most.
We support individuals at all stages of alcohol use disorder — from early intervention to long-term recovery maintenance.
"Regain control of your finances, your relationships, and your future."
Gambling Addiction Counseling
Problem gambling is a behavioral addiction that can quietly devastate every area of life — finances, relationships, self-worth, and mental health. It is often hidden and deeply isolating. You don't have to face it alone.
Cognitive Restructuring
We help you identify and challenge the distorted thinking patterns that fuel gambling behavior — including the illusion of control, superstitions, and chasing losses.
Financial Recovery Support
We work alongside financial counselors and provide guidance on rebuilding financial stability as part of your overall recovery plan.
Impulse Control Strategies
Practical, evidence-based tools to manage urges, set boundaries, and build new habits that support long-term recovery.
Family & Relationship Counseling
Gambling addiction often damages trust deeply. We provide support for both individuals and their loved ones as they work toward healing together.
We treat all forms of problem gambling including casino gambling, sports betting, online gambling, and lottery addiction.
Our Approach
Evidence-Based. Trauma-Informed. Human.
Individualized Care
