Substance Use & Addiction Therapy

Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, overwhelming, and often comes with layers of shame, fear, or uncertainty about where to turn next. Whether you’re navigating alcohol use, prescription medication misuse, or other substance-related challenges, healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

At Sage Mental Health, we provide compassionate, evidence-informed substance use counseling and addiction therapy in Chicago and throughout Illinois, both in person and through secure telehealth. Our therapists understand that substance use is often connected to underlying emotional pain, trauma, stress, or mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.

We offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore these deeper issues, build coping strategies, and strengthen your motivation for change. Whether you’re seeking harm reduction strategies, support for maintaining sobriety, or therapy alongside other treatment programs, we tailor our approach to your unique goals. Our focus is on helping you rebuild trust with yourself and others, improve emotional regulation, and create a more balanced and meaningful life
