A Great Chemical Dependency Counselor

By Rosella Campbell


Quite a few people like to drink alcohol and take certain drugs on a daily basis. These individuals do not care that they may need a chemical dependency counselor one day. Sometimes the therapy workers can help their situation and at other times they cannot.

A very independent male had lived in Manhattan for most of his adult life and he was also a hard worker. All of his customers loved his work since he was able to make or save them money in a tough market. After working on his regular job for forty hours a week he would still work another part time gig. He loved music and people so much that he decided to take a position as a music player on the weekends. Even though he made his fair share of money as a competent Financial Advisor he still wanted more.

He was well loved by his co workers and they would always miss him whenever he was not at work. This kind gentleman seemed to have the perfect life since everyone cared for him so much. Unfortunately things took a turn for the worse when he became involved in drugs. He had become very stressed since he was working six or seven days a week. One of the customers at the club decided to give him several pills when he told them about his condition.

At first the pills seemed quite harmless and they really did not bother his system at all. Things were going great for a few weeks until he noticed a change in his body chemistry. This very professional man was beginning to have bad mood swings and he was even missing some days from his full time job. People noticed his bizarre behavior and had become very concerned.

One of his co workers pulled him to the side and questioned him. He immediately told his worker about the pills that were given to him at the club. They gave him good advice and suggested that he seek help from a substance worker. He agreed to follow their information and made an appointment to talk with this very understanding professional.

When this man entered into the therapist's office he acted quite shy and did not say much at all. The professional person decided to break the ice and started a good conversation. The two men became quite familiar with one another and in no time at all they were having a great discussion.

The professional scheduled additional appointments for the male and during the next few weeks things seemed to get better. The man learned how to control his stress level with yoga and meditation sessions. These specific courses helped him to stop taking the pills or any other type of harmful substance.

He also learned how to avoid people and places that displayed bad behavior. In order to fully get better his physician told him to give up his job at the club since it would always do more harm than good. Eventually he straightened out his life and is now drug and alcohol free.
