Healing Doesn’t Happen Without Understanding
You can reduce cravings with medication—but true recovery takes more than chemical stability. It takes emotional healing, self-awareness, and support from people who actually understand what you’re going through.
At Metro Recovery Center, our Substance Use Counseling programs are designed to help you face the reasons behind your use—not just the results of it—and give you real tools to reclaim control, relationships, and purpose.
We meet you with compassion. We help you build the rest.
Why Counseling at Metro Recovery Center Works
We treat people, not symptoms
Addiction isn’t a moral failure—it’s often a trauma response, a survival strategy, or a way to self-medicate. Our counselors understand that. We’re trained in trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and addiction-specific approaches that focus on what happened to you—not what’s wrong with you.
Integrated, Collaborative Support
Your counseling doesn’t happen in isolation. We work hand-in-hand with your medication provider, psychiatrist, and case manager to deliver one seamless, coordinated plan—because recovery works best when your team works together.
Real Relationships That Drive Change
Our therapists don’t just sit back and nod. They get in it with you—helping you dig through emotional pain, family history, grief, shame, anxiety, and the day-to-day challenges that can threaten your progress.
Access That Fits Real Life
We offer in-person and telehealth counseling, making care possible whether you live nearby or need flexibility due to work, parenting, transportation, or health barriers.
