Addiction Psychotherapy Consultation in Warsaw

Nobody chooses addiction. They choose relief – a moment of calm, a way to silence anxiety, a way to survive something difficult. The problem emerges when that way of coping begins to take on a life of its own.

If you are reading this – something brought you here. Perhaps your own situation. Perhaps someone close to you. In either case, it is worth talking.

Without judgement, without a fixed script

A first consultation with an addiction psychotherapy specialist is a conversation – not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan, not rules and prohibitions. We talk about what is happening: what, for how long, in what circumstances, and what it provides. We look not for blame, but for meaning – because every addiction has its own history.

What do we work with?

• Alcohol addiction – from early warning signs to outpatient treatment
• Dependence on psychoactive substances: drugs, medication, legal highs
• Behavioural addictions: gambling, pornography, internet, shopping, work, food
• Codependency – when someone close to you drinks or uses, and you feel you are losing yourself
• Relapse – prevention and work after completing residential or other treatment

What does further work look like?

After the consultation – if you decide to continue – we establish an individual plan. Addiction psychotherapy is a long-term process. We do not promise quick results, because such promises would be dishonest. We offer rigorous work: regular, step by step, at your own pace.

At our practice, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist can work in parallel – if the addiction is accompanied by depression, anxiety or other difficulties that may benefit from pharmacological support.

When should you reach out?

Sooner than you think. The earlier support arrives, the easier it is to stop escalation. You do not need to “”hit rock bottom”” – that is a myth that costs too much.
