We offer individual, couples, and family counseling for people in Elk Grove affected by alcohol or drug use. Services include support for changing substance use patterns, managing cravings, preventing relapse, and addressing the effects of addiction on relationships. Appointments are available in Sacramento and online throughout California.
Substance abuse counseling examines the connection between your use of alcohol or drugs and the situations, thoughts, and emotions that influence it. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, developing coping skills, and making changes you can apply at home, at work, and in your relationships.
You can seek counseling while considering a change, during early recovery, or after completing a treatment program. Your history, current concerns, and recovery goals guide the work. Explore our counseling services or request a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs.
One-to-one substance abuse counseling addresses alcohol misuse, drug use, and the difficulties of maintaining sobriety. Sessions can focus on recognizing triggers, responding to cravings, changing routines associated with use, and managing stress without relying on alcohol or drugs.
Secrecy about substance use, broken agreements, and repeated arguments can damage a relationship. Couples counseling provides time to address those problems, clarify boundaries, and discuss what each partner needs as recovery progresses.
Family counseling helps relatives discuss the impact of addiction and how they respond to it. Sessions address communication, expectations, and boundaries, including disagreements about financial help, substance use at home, and involvement in recovery.
William Schneider, LAADC-CA, ICADC, has more than 19 years of experience in the substance abuse recovery field. His background includes nonprofit, private, and medication-assisted treatment settings. He holds licensure and certification through the California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP).
He provides counseling for individuals, couples, and families using a person-centered approach. Sessions consider your substance use history, relationships, and recovery goals, with family involvement when appropriate.
His counseling methods include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, solution-focused approaches, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques. These approaches are used to examine patterns associated with substance use, strengthen motivation for change, and develop responses to cravings, stress, and conflict.
Relapse prevention counseling focuses on recognizing risks before they lead to renewed alcohol or drug use. This includes identifying triggers, noticing changes in routines or motivation, and deciding how to respond when cravings increase.
Sessions can help you develop a written plan for high-risk situations: contact someone who supports your recovery, leave a setting where substances are available, or arrange additional support. The plan should reflect the circumstances you actually face and be reviewed as those circumstances change.
After residential or outpatient treatment, continuing counseling provides a place to work through the demands of returning to family life, employment, and social activities. You can discuss setbacks, review skills learned in treatment, and address relationship difficulties that need ongoing attention.
Family boundaries also affect recovery at home. Read more about setting boundaries with someone struggling with addiction.
