“Asking for help is the hardest step”- this may seem like a cliché, but it is very true. It can be scary to imagine your life without alcohol and substances. Rebuilding your life and learning how to live without the outlets you have used for years can be overwhelming. It is difficult to know what kind of help you or your loved one needs, if any. Whether a person struggles with alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, anxiety, or is addicted to a process such as gambling, pornography, gaming, shopping, etc., Healing Springs Ranch recognizes that these symptoms all serve the same purpose; to avoid and medicate the pain. The unresolved pain and/or trauma, in addition to low self-esteem and poor coping skills, creates a perfect storm and a desperate desire to escape.
