SUBSTANCE & ALCOHOL ABUSE

Drug use either illegal or prescription doesn’t automatically lead to abuse.

Drug use either illegal or prescription doesn’t automatically lead to abuse. Some people are able to use recreational or prescription drugs without experiencing negative effects, while others find that substance use takes a serious toll on their health and well-being. Similarly, there is no specific point at which drug use moves from casual too problematic.

Drug abuse and addiction is less about the type or amount of the substance consumed or the frequency of your drug use, and more about the consequences of that drug use. If your drug use is causing problems in your life at work, school, home, or in your relationships you likely have a drug abuse or addiction problem.

Dr. Ntonghawah is the first psyche who I feel has actually listened to me about my issues in a real meaningful way and worked with me to find a balance of medications that help me. The office is lovely, everyone who works there is nice, and it’s always been a pleasure to visit.Edit: I’ve been with these guys for over 10 months now and I still highly recommend them.

I love this place! The staff and mental health professionals are so kind and supportive. Dr. Asongtia is one of the best psychiatrists I’ve ever had, and Javay at the front desk always brightens my day each time I come in for my appointments. I’m very grateful for all that they’ve done for me.
