Restoration Counseling of Atlanta provides a distinctly Christian approach to treating addictions to drugs, alcohol, and sex. We support the individual addict, their marriage, and other family members. We also provide assessments for those who are uncertain if services are needed. You don’t have to struggle alone or wonder how to deal with these problems in your family.
What Addictions Counseling is Like
We may be afraid of encountering a situation like this:
The doctor says, “Do you want to know what’s wrong with you? I’ll tell you what’s wrong with you. You have asthma, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.”
No competent physician would ever say that sort of thing to a patient! Any patient would expect and prefer to hear something like this:
“It looks like you are having difficulty breathing…. and there are some things we can do to help.”
That is why we are here – to help you.
Alcohol and Drug Addiction
When you come to Restoration Counseling of Atlanta, you may be concerned that the use of alcohol or drugs may be causing difficulties in your life. If so, you will meet with a licensed professional counselor trained and experienced in identifying conditions that point to a possible alcohol or drug use disorder. The counselor will also assure you there are things we can do to help. Most importantly, you will find yourself talking with someone who is genuinely interested in you and what you have to say. At Restoration Counseling of Atlanta, Someone Cares!
How to determine if you have an alcohol or drug use disorder:
- Have you thought you ought to cut down on your use of alcohol or drugs?
- If someone brings up the subject of your drinking or drug use, do you become annoyed or angry?
- Do you sometimes feel remorseful about drinking?
- Have you ever drunk or used drugs to ward off the effects of last night’s drinking?
- Most importantly, do things that trouble you seem less troublesome while drinking but always return when you abstain?
If you answer yes to any of the above, it may be time to look into your situation with the help of a substance addictions counselor at Restoration Counseling of Atlanta. We have two specially trained therapists to help:

Teen Addiction
Are you worried that your teen may be experimenting with drugs and alcohol? If your teen is addicted, you may feel confused, frightened, and wonder where to turn for help.

Sexual Addiction

We offer help identifying and treating sexual addiction. Our programs treat and train individuals and couples. We are here to help by using distinctly Christian counseling techniques to break through negative habits related to sexual activities, porn-watching, or unwanted compulsive behaviors.
