Substance Abuse Social Workers in California

Substance abuse is a mental health concern that involves the harmful use of alcohol, drugs, or other substances. Any substance use that either raises concern, leads to impairments in daily functioning, or causes distress is important to discuss with a professional. Specialized and knowledgeable therapeutic care can help both the individual experiencing addiction or navigating recovery, as well as their family and loved ones.

The following social workers can help individuals understand the role of substances in their life and lessen their impact. Treatment approaches vary, but social workers with expertise in this area may use harm reduction or motivational interviewing techniques to help clients build momentum and commitment toward behavior change. Other social workers might bring specific expertise in other effective modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or family therapy.
