​

At Journey Counseling, we offer confidential, non-judgmental Outpatient Addiction Therapy and Substance Abuse Counseling in Edmond and Oklahoma City. We believe recovery is not just about stopping a substance; it’s about healing the underlying pain that drives the use and building a life you no longer want to escape.

Breaking the Cycle: Specialized Outpatient Treatment

Effective addiction therapy must address the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that perpetuate substance use.

Our licensed therapists specialize in treating Substance Use Disorders through evidence-based modalities that empower you to take control without disrupting your job, family life, or school.

Our approach to substance abuse counseling in OKC focuses on proven strategies:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We help you identify the high-risk situations, triggers, and negative thought patterns that lead to use. You will learn specific cognitive and behavioral skills to cope with cravings and manage difficult emotions effectively.

• Motivational Interviewing (MI): This collaborative approach helps you clarify your desire for change, resolving ambivalence and strengthening your personal commitment to recovery.

• Relapse Prevention Planning: We don't just focus on abstinence; we build practical, step-by-step plans for managing setbacks, ensuring they are learning opportunities rather than complete failures.

• Family & Support System Work: Addiction impacts everyone. We offer counseling to family members and, when appropriate, integrate couples or family sessions to heal relational wounds and build a supportive recovery environment.​​​

We Treat the Person, Not Just the Substance

The journey to recovery often involves treating co-occurring mental health conditions—a practice known as treating Dual Diagnosis. Many individuals use substances to cope with the symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or ADHD.

​

Our specialized addiction therapy services cover a wide range of needs, ensuring holistic healing:

• Alcohol Addiction Counseling: Targeting patterns of excessive drinking and high-risk behaviors.

• Prescription & Illicit Drug Dependence: Specialized support for opioid, stimulant, and other dependencies.

• Marijuana Use Disorder: Addressing issues of motivation, dependence, and impaired function.

• Integrated Mental Health Treatment: Simultaneously treating underlying depression, anxiety, or trauma alongside the substance use.
