Substance Use & Addiction Therapy
Preparing for Your Appointment
Deciding to talk about your substance use — or that of a loved one — can feel overwhelming. But taking that first step shows incredible courage.
Preparing for your appointment isn't required, but it can be helpful if you'd like to organize your thoughts beforehand. Here are some suggestions:
Be prepared to share your truth about substance use — we'll meet you with understanding and without judgment.
Make a list of any medications, supplements, or substances you're using.
Think about questions or concerns you'd like to address.
If it helps you feel more comfortable, bring a friend or family member for support.
Remember, you are the expert in your own experience, and you're welcome to attend with as much or as little preparation as feels right for you.
