About drug addiction therapy
What Is Drug Addiction Therapy?
Drug addiction therapy is a structured form of psychological support designed to help individuals understand the underlying causes of substance use and develop healthier coping strategies.
Rather than focusing only on stopping drug use, therapy looks at:
Emotional triggers and patterns
Mental health challenges linked to addiction
Behavioural habits and coping mechanisms
Long-term recovery and relapse prevention
This approach supports sustainable, long-term change.
Types of Drug Addiction We Support
We provide therapy for a wide range of substance misuse issues, including:
Cocaine Addiction
Support for individuals struggling with dependency, cravings and the emotional impact of cocaine use.
Cannabis Addiction
Therapy for those experiencing reliance on cannabis, including its effects on motivation, mood and mental health.
Other Substance Misuse
We also support individuals dealing with other forms of drug use such as prescription drugs, heroin or ketamine, offering tailored therapy based on your situation.
How We Support Drug Addiction Recovery
At Home Counties Therapy, our approach is personalised to each individual. We understand that addiction affects people differently, and therapy is adapted to your specific needs and circumstances.
Support may include:
One-to-one addiction therapy sessions
Structured therapeutic approaches such as DBT
Emotional regulation and coping strategies
Support for co-occurring mental health conditions
Guidance for relapse prevention and long-term recovery
The Link Between Addiction and Mental Health
Drug addiction is often closely connected to underlying mental health challenges, and in many cases, the two develop alongside one another. Some individuals may begin using drugs as a way to cope with difficult emotions such as anxiety, depression, trauma or stress. Over time, this can develop into a pattern where substances are relied upon to manage day-to-day feelings, creating a cycle that becomes increasingly difficult to break.
At the same time, ongoing drug use can worsen mental health symptoms. This means that what may have started as a way to cope can eventually intensify the very issues someone is trying to manage.
Because of this close relationship, effective drug addiction therapy looks beyond the substance use itself. It focuses on understanding the emotional and psychological factors that contribute to addiction, helping individuals develop healthier ways to cope and regulate their emotions. By addressing both addiction and mental health together, therapy supports more stable, long-term recovery and reduces the risk of relapse.
When to Seek Help for Drug Addiction
You may benefit from therapy if you are:
Struggling to control or stop drug use
Experiencing cravings or withdrawal symptoms
Noticing an impact on relationships, work or health
Using substances to cope with stress or emotional difficulties
Concerned about relapse or ongoing dependency
Seeking support early can make a significant difference in recovery outcomes.

Client Reviews
What Our Clients Say About Our Drug Addiction Therapy
The DBT group is helpful in finding methods to allow for improvement of life experiences. I’ve found the group experience to be insightful with members sharing their personal experiences with the methods taught and how they have adapted them to make them fit to their specific needs. Making connections to the facilitators and group members dealing with difficulties and still showing up to help improve themselves is inspiring and encouraging to keeping the commitment to yourself of showing up every week. I’ve found group to be a safe space and being surrounded by supportive individuals you truly feel as if you have people in your corner and on your team building together.

I first came into contact with Home Counties Therapy two years ago and at that point was in a very dark place feeling like I didn’t have options or anywhere to turn to.
I have been seeing them on a 1.2.1 basis and have had group DBT sessions as well.
From the outset Lorna was welcoming, understanding and has helped me to get my life back on track. I’m now back in education, have a great relationship with my family and am feeling the best I ever have, this is all down to HCT guiding me along the way and encouraging me to persevere with change.

I have just completed a 6 month course of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy with Home Counties Therapy.
This course has been invaluable in providing me with skills that I did not possess before beginning the course. In particular I have found the interpersonal skills training and the distress tolerance tools to be helpful.
The trainers are compassionate and have fantastic knowledge of both the course material & the supporting psychology. They have a great way of helping every member of the group to understand the course material and apply it to our own lives. No one gets left behind.

Through DBT and my 1-2-1 sessions I have noticed a change in myself and started to challenge my thoughts and have come to understand why I’m feeling the way I do.
My therapist has been fantastic! Home Counties has helped me a lot and I’ve got skills to set me for life I love the fact that if I am having a crisis someone is always at the end of the phone to help me get through it.
Highly recommend!

DBT has completely transformed my life, giving me the tools to cope with everyday challenges. I went from struggling to use the tools and not understanding how to utilise them and over time it has become easier and a way of life. I have my good and bad days like everyone but with the constant reminder that I have DBT to help me if I have my really bad days which pulls me through. Since using DBT I have less bad days which it takes me quicker to recover from. I recommend DBT to everyone and still to this day look at the tools to refresh my memory. I have even started using DBT with my children. Thank you to Matthew and their team for helping through a very dark time.

Being a part of the DBT Group has opened my eyes to some comforting truths: that I’m not alone in my struggles, that help and understanding is out there from peers as well as therapists, and that there are skills to learn that can help me manage the daily challenges I always seem to be facing.
I’ve found the DBT skills to be of great help in earning back competency, freedom of mind, and a healthy sense of control in my life. Having tools with which to navigate the difficulties of life, especially those created of my own mind, has opened doors for me that I felt were shut for good, and I feel the future is now manageable, and even hopeful.
