Can I start therapy if I am still using or not fully sober?

Not having stopped yet can feel like a reason to wait. Whether a therapist can support you right now depends on the therapist and your situation, so ask directly when you reach out. On Alma, browse therapists in Sacramento who treat Addiction and read how each one works.

Question 3

Can therapy work together with a recovery program or medical care?

On Alma, find therapists in Sacramento who treat Addiction and ask how they would fit with your setup.

Question 4
