Other Forms of Therapy for Addiction | Psychology of Addiction - Jef Gazley

Expanding on other forms of therapy, Jef Gazley explains how combining multiple methods of therapy can be beneficial to recovery from drug addiction.

When we think of a disease, the first thoughts that likely hit our imagination are cancer, bacteria, or infection. In these cases there is often a prescribed form of treatment/management that is used to counter it depending on the severity. Sometimes there is just one treatment, sometimes there is a small list of ways the disease can be combated. Addiction is a different beast altogether, as there are numerous forms of therapy that can be utilized to treat it.

“…I don’t think substance abuse, chemical dependence, is a single issue,” said Jef Gazley, a licensed therapist with multiple specialties, “I think you have to really look at the particular problem that’s going on.” Addiction can be started through various means; in some cases, people self-medicate to the point of dependency in order to deal with trauma or stress; others began (out of curiosity) and quickly slipped into addiction.
