Counseling: The Heart of Recovery
Substance use disorder (SUD) doesn’t just affect the body—it also impacts emotions, relationships and mental health. That’s why counseling is an essential part of treatment at BHG. While medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) help reduce cravings and withdrawal, counseling gives you the tools, support and confidence to build lasting recovery—as part of our comprehensive treatment model that integrates medical and behavioral care.
Why Counseling Matters
Recovery is about healing the whole person, not just stopping substance use. Our substance use disorder counseling helps you:
- Understand the emotional and behavioral sides of addiction
- Identify triggers and learn healthy coping skills
- Rebuild relationships and strengthen your support system
- Address mental health conditions like anxiety, depression or trauma
- Gain strategies to manage stress, cravings and everyday challenges
