Question 3

Can I see a therapist while I am in a recovery program?

On Alma, browse therapists in Fullerton who treat Addiction and mention your program when you reach out.

Question 4

Is there therapy for family members of someone with Addiction?

Question 5

Do I have to aim for full abstinence in therapy?
