SouthJerseyRecovery.com, a free web resource that provides information about addiction, eating disorders, and mental health issues.

Personality disorders can make many parts of day-to-day life difficult, so some people turn to substances as a way to cope with these difficulties. For some, this may be a way to cover feelings of emptiness or social isolation. For others, it may be a way to heighten thrill-seeking behaviors, impulsivity, and swings of anger.

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and to spread awareness, I am reaching out with two free guides covering personality disorders and co-occurring substance abuse as well as resources for those suffering from, or suspect a loved one may be suffering from domestic violence as unfortunately the two often co-exist.

At Northern Illinois Recovery Center, we recognize that some individuals will heal best in gender-specific treatment. Therefore, we offer all of our therapies in contexts where same-gender peers work together exclusively.

Overcoming addiction requires professional treatment and immense support. Treatment is a combination of medical care, clinical care, peer support, holistic medicine, and more. Addiction treatment helps people achieve long-term health and wellness that may have been otherwise unattainable without treatment.

What is Trauma Informed Therapy?

Trauma informed therapy is a treatment approach that utilizes the science of how human beings process trauma. The science is translated into clinical practice to help recovering addicts in their battle against substance abuse.

Trauma informed therapy at Boca Recovery Center assists recovering addicts in managing the symptoms of trauma. Our trauma-focused approach reduces the risk of re-traumatizing the client during addiction treatment. Therapists offer support and instill hope for recovery through trauma informed care.

We recognize that traumatic experiences can be overwhelming and at times, terrifying. Our therapists work with clients to restore a sense of safety and self-worth. This includes physical safety, trustworthiness, setting clear boundaries, transparency, and predictability. Clients rebuild their self-worth through respect, compassion, acceptance, and collaboration. Recovering individuals are empowered through skill building and coping strategies.

Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse —- If you or a loved one is facing an emergency, please dial 911. If you would like to report domestic violence that is happening to you or someone you know, please call the Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-SAFE (7233) or text “START” to 88788.

Alcohol Rehab Guide Page of Resources

During Covid the spike in alcohol and drug sales grew to an all time high. Now people are struggling with the aftermath of such a dark time.

The virus itself is not the only threat to our health. Sales of alcohol have been spiking and trends of substance use are on the rise, including relapse. Since awareness makes all the difference, I want to familiarize these relevant topics in such uncertain times. Alcohol Rehab Guide is not a treatment center; we are a public web guide sharing information on alcohol, therapy, and recovery.
To help do our part, our page
www.alcoholrehabguide.org/online-therapy-alcohol-addiction, talks about the benefits of online therapy for alcohol-use and explores different options to seek help. Our website also features additional clinically reviewed articles about addiction and recovery. I believe the right information in the right place can change lives!
