Dr. Nicholas Atanasoff: Therapy Helps Make Recovery Possible

Dr. Nicholas Atanasoff is a professional addictionologist; an addiction treatment medicine physician who specializes in helping patients engage in and achieve a successful, sustainable addiction recovery process. Part of that process is the steady and ongoing use of therapy, which aids the patient in facing and dealing with the psychological and social elements that often increase the possibility of potential relapse down the road.

Individual therapy, group therapy and family or couples therapy all offer the patient the chance to share, discuss and better understand the challenges they are facing and will face throughout the process of opioid addiction recovery. Individual therapy is instrumental in understanding and dealing with the mental health issues that arise from drug abuse; group therapy provides the recovering addict the opportunity to connect with and receive support from peers undergoing similar circumstances; and family or couples therapy involves the participation of loved ones who can provide an important source of emotional support throughout the process.
