Aspire Counseling Services Aspire offers treatment for Adults and Adolescents who suffer from SUDs. DHCS: DHCS CERTIFICATION EXPIRATION: 10/31/2023

At Aspire Counseling Services we share the philosophy of Narcotics Anonymous: “It’s not what or how much you used but only what you want to do about your problem and how we can help.” Alcohol and other drugs become a problem when we continue to use despite negative consequences to our lives. Perhaps a person only drinks every 6 months but every time they drink they get a DUI. Or maybe you are a daily drinker who has a difficult time coping without alcohol. Perhaps you have had a physical injury that caused you to be prescribed painkillers and as your body gained a tolerance you ended up using more and more until no amount could take away your pain. Or maybe you are the person who has lost their relationships with family members due to street drugs and are suffering from the guilt and shame of not being able to stop. No matter your poison, being held hostage by a substance is no way to live. The counselors at Aspire Counseling Service are all ex addicts with multiple years in recovery obtained by different methods. We incorporate behavior modification, cognitive thinking, mindfulness skills, 12 step concepts, and many other models depending on each person's needs and belief system. We understand that having a healthy support system is crucial to recovery and work to involve family members when possible as well as peers, sponsors, friends, and medical professionals.

When someone you love is battling addiction, love can blur the line between helping and enabling. 💚 Helping means supporting their recovery, not their habits. Setting boundaries, encouraging treatment, and believing they can heal. Real love means saying, “I want to see you get better,” even when it’s hard. At Aspire Counseling Services, we’re here to help you both take that first step toward recovery together.

Many men are taught to stay strong and hide their emotions, but silence can turn pain into unhealthy coping, including substance use. This Men’s Health Awareness Month, Aspire Counseling Services reminds you that it’s okay to open up, ask for help, and take steps toward healing. Recovery begins when you allow yourself to feel, share, and seek support. 💚

Missing weeks of work due to substance use is more common than many realize. People struggling with substance use disorders miss nearly five weeks of work each year, almost double that of the average worker. It’s a reminder that addiction doesn’t just affect individuals, it impacts families, workplaces, and communities. At Aspire Counseling Services, we’re here to help restore balance, health, and purpose through compassionate, evidence-based recovery. 💚
