An alcohol addiction, gambling addiction, or drug addiction is a way that people attempt to fill the emptiness they feel inside of themselves. It’s a natural human reaction to seek a way to make those feelings go away.  What can begin as a way to find relief can soon turn into a full blown addiction that takes over your life and negatively affects your marriage, family, job and relationships.    
​
At ACT Counseling & Education Services, our mission is to counsel and educate our clients and the community with respect and compassion.  Addiction affects the entire family system.  At our practice, we provide help and specialized programs for adults, teens and children to help heal not just the addicted person but the whole family. Our approach allows the client to challenge beliefs and values that may be blocking the achievement of a balanced life.
