Loneliness doesn’t always show up the way we expect.
Our VP of Clinical Services, Lindsey Rae Ackerman, LMFT, CHHC, recently spoke with HuffPost about a form of loneliness that often catches people off guard — “contrast loneliness,” also known as post-social loneliness.

“If you’ve ever come home after spending time with others only to find yourself feeling sad, you have likely experienced ‘contrast loneliness,’” Lindsey shared. “This phenomenon is also called post-social loneliness — and it’s not uncommon.”

The article explores different types of loneliness, what triggers them, and how we can better recognize and cope with these emotions — especially in work environments where disconnection can quietly take hold.

It’s a powerful reminder that even in a room full of people, someone can feel alone — and that mental health support, awareness, and empathy matter more than ever.

Opioid abuse is a growing concern, especially for teens who may not fully understand the risks. Many young people are introduced to opioids through prescription medications, and while they’re often prescribed for legitimate reasons, they can quickly lead to dependence and addiction.

It’s crucial to educate teens on the dangers of opioid use and the potential for abuse. Once dependence sets in, it can be a hard cycle to break—sometimes leading to dangerous substances like he**in or fentanyl.

The key to prevention is knowledge and open conversation. If we empower our teens with the facts and create an environment where they feel comfortable reaching out, we can help them make safer choices.

If you or someone you care about is facing challenges with opioid use, help is available. At Clear Behavioral Health, we offer a variety of programs designed to prevent and treat addiction. We’re here to provide you with the support, resources, and care you deserve.
