We offer drug and alcohol counseling to people in Roseville through in-person appointments in Sacramento and secure video sessions. Sessions can address current substance use, difficulties staying sober, and concerns about a partner or family member.
You may have started questioning how much you drink, noticed that using drugs is becoming harder to control, or found yourself making the same promises after another argument. You do not have to wait for a crisis to talk about it. Sessions give you time to examine what is happening and decide what you want to do next.
Appointments focus on the parts of daily life affected by substance use, including work, relationships, and the hours when urges are hardest to manage. You can meet in person or choose online substance abuse counseling to attend from home.
Substance use can affect each person in a household differently. You may want help changing your own habits, talking honestly with your partner, or responding to a loved one without taking responsibility for every consequence.
Individual counseling gives you a place to talk about alcohol, prescription medications, opioids, stimulants, or other drug use. Sessions can examine when you use, what happens beforehand, and why attempts to cut back or stop have been difficult. From there, you can work on specific responses to cravings, stressful situations, and setbacks.
Repeated arguments about drinking, hidden substance use, and broken agreements can make it hard to know what to trust. Couples counseling addresses how substance use affects the relationship, what each partner needs, and which agreements need to change. Read more about how addiction affects marriage and relationships.
Family counseling can help relatives discuss conflict, expectations, and their responses to substance use. You can work on limits around money, responsibilities, and behavior at home. Our article on setting boundaries with someone struggling with addiction explains some of the situations families face.
William Schneider, LAADC-CA, ICADC, has more than 19 years of experience in substance abuse recovery. His background includes nonprofit, private, and medication-assisted treatment settings. He works with individuals, couples, and families concerned about alcohol and drug use.
During counseling, he asks about your experiences, the changes you have tried, and what you need help with now. You can discuss doubts about stopping, situations you avoid talking about at home, and what has made previous attempts at recovery difficult.
His approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused methods, and DBT techniques. The focus depends on what comes up in your sessions:
Your first counseling appointment is a conversation about your substance use, current concerns, and previous efforts to change. You can explain what brought you in and what you want help with, even when you are unsure how to describe the problem.
A session might focus on drinking after work, using when you feel overwhelmed, or avoiding a conversation with someone close to you. Together, you and your counselor can identify one or two priorities, discuss possible responses, and review what happened at the next appointment.
Returning to work, family responsibilities, and familiar social situations after treatment can bring challenges that were less visible while you were away. Counseling can help you plan for those situations and look at the support you have between appointments.
A return to substance use is something you can discuss openly. Sessions can examine what led up to it, what changed in your routine, and what additional support may be needed. You can also talk about feeling little pleasure or interest during recovery, particularly when it makes daily activities or staying sober feel harder.
