Drug Abuse

Drug abuse takes many forms—prescription misuse, illicit drug use, or recreational use that’s gotten out of hand. Whatever your situation, you don’t have to face it alone. Oak Tree Behavioral Services offers compassionate, evidence-based outpatient counseling to help you understand your use and move toward lasting recovery.

Signs You May Benefit from Drug Abuse Support

Using drugs more than intended
Spending excessive time obtaining, using, or recovering from drugs
Using drugs in dangerous situations
Neglecting school, work, or family responsibilities
Continuing use despite negative consequences
Cravings or strong urges to use

Our Treatment Approach

Our approach integrates Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and relapse prevention planning. We treat drug abuse in the context of your whole life—addressing trauma, mental health, relationships, and environment.

Codependency

Codependency is a pattern where your sense of self-worth, safety, and purpose becomes enmeshed with another person’s wellbeing—often at the expense of your own. It’s common among people who grew up in chaotic households or have loved ones with addiction or mental illness. Therapy can help you rediscover yourself and build relationships rooted in mutual care rather than need.

Signs You May Benefit from Codependency Support

Difficulty saying no or setting boundaries
Feeling responsible for others’ feelings and problems
Neglecting your own needs to care for someone else
Fear of abandonment or rejection
Low self-esteem tied to others’ approval
Enabling destructive behavior in a loved one

Our Treatment Approach

We explore the origins of codependent patterns—often rooted in childhood—and help you build a stronger, more autonomous sense of self. Therapy focuses on boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and healthy interdependence.

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain doesn’t just hurt physically—it shapes your mood, identity, relationships, and hope for the future. Psychological treatment for chronic pain is among the most evidence-based interventions available. Oak Tree Behavioral Services helps you change your relationship with pain and reclaim your life.

Signs You May Benefit from Chronic Pain Support

Pain lasting more than three months
Depression, anxiety, or anger tied to pain
Avoidance of activities due to fear of pain
Sleep disruption from persistent discomfort
Relationship strain related to chronic illness

Our Treatment Approach

We use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT for Chronic Pain, and mindfulness-based approaches. These are proven to reduce pain-related suffering and improve function—even when the pain itself can’t be eliminated.

Behavioral Issues

Behavioral issues can show up at any age—from toddlers with defiance to teens engaging in risky behavior to adults struggling with destructive patterns. At Oak Tree Behavioral Services, we assess the underlying causes and develop individualized treatment plans that produce lasting change.

Persistent defiance, aggression, or rule-breaking
Difficulty at school, work, or in relationships
Self-destructive or risky behaviors
Chronic lying or manipulation
Inability to manage emotions or impulses
Social isolation or peer problems

Our Treatment Approach

We draw on behavioral analysis, CBT, and family systems approaches to understand what drives problem behaviors and reinforce positive alternatives. Parent coaching is often incorporated when working with children and adolescents.
