Aspire Counseling Services

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.

The new year is the perfect time to reset and refocus.

Go for a walk, spend time with friends, journal, meditate—do what fills your cup and moves you forward. As Jessica Cason reminds us, “There is nothing better than that constant self-improvement. We all have room to grow.”

Here’s to growth, balance, and becoming our best selves in the year ahead.
