Therapy? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

SpaSlave · 05-14-2009, 11:40 AM

I struggle from eating disorder, alcoholism, depression and a VERY low self image. I am starting AA today but I feel that I could really benefit from some one on one therapy. Unfortunately I dont have alot of extra money laying around

Do any of you have any suggestions or know of any programs that might help me?

You might try giving your local mental health center a call. I know the one where I live goes according to income. I do have a medical card now that pays for it, but prior to that, I was only paying $5 per session.

Hi SS, this is the first time I've seen one of your posts and I noticed you're from the Phoenix area.

This is one of the places I attend meetings North Scottsdale Fellowship Club - Home-Home The Club has meetings for addicts, alcoholics, overeaters, codependents, and more so maybe you'd benefit from a visit? And the only cost is putting a buck in the basket when it's passed, if you can afford it.

I found therapy and counseling to be helpful, here's a place that offers group support, and also one-on-one Franciscan Renewal Center Programs | Scottsdale, Arizona | A Center for Spiritual Growth, Retreats, Conferences and Meetings, Counseling, Support Groups, Music, Outreach, and much more | A Christ centered community, embracing the Catholic tradition i The fee is a donation or they charge you based on your income, I thought the price was very reasonable.

You can also try your local YWCA or YMCA, whichever applies to you. I have recieved therapy through them at a sliding scale fee before.
