Substance Use Disorder Treatment at Matone Counseling and Testing

Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) can affect anyone—regardless of age, background, or lifestyle. They are complex conditions that involve the misuse of alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit substances, often accompanied by emotional, psychological, or social challenges.

At Matone Counseling and Testing, our Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialists (LCAS) are trained to provide compassionate, effective care for individuals struggling with substance use. We offer comprehensive assessments, personalized addiction counseling, and tailored relapse prevention plans to support long-term recovery.

Understanding Substance Use Disorders

A Substance Use Disorder occurs when a person’s use of alcohol or drugs leads to significant impairment, such as health problems, disability, or difficulty at work, school, or home. This is not a moral failing or lack of willpower—addiction is a medical condition that affects the brain and behavior, and it requires professional treatment.

Substance use can range from mild to severe, and it often co-occurs with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma-related disorders. That’s why integrated care is essential.

Signs and Symptoms of Substance Use Disorders

Some common signs that may indicate a substance use problem include:

• Loss of control over substance use
• Increased tolerance or withdrawal symptoms
• Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home
• Continuing use despite negative consequences
• Spending significant time obtaining, using, or recovering from substances
• Cravings or strong urges to use

If you or someone you love is experiencing these symptoms, seeking help is the first—and most powerful—step toward healing.

Our Approach to Addiction Counseling

At Matone Counseling and Testing, we understand that recovery looks different for everyone. Our clinicians provide individualized substance use treatment plans that may include:

• Substance Abuse Assessment – A thorough evaluation to determine the severity of the issue and identify co-occurring mental health conditions.
• Therapeutic Counseling – Including evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore the root of their substance use and build healthier coping strategies.
• Relapse Prevention Planning – We help clients identify triggers, create safety plans, and build a network of support to maintain sobriety.
• Coordination of Care – We collaborate with primary care providers, psychiatrists, recovery programs, and families to ensure a seamless support system.

Whether you’re in the early stages of recognizing a problem or returning to care after a relapse, our goal is to help you find hope, clarity, and long-term stability.
