Dr.\xa0Estes\xa0works with a wide range of individuals, from the ordinary person to the NFL athlete to some of the most popular celebrities, all of whom struggle in one way or another with some type of addiction. It is her belief that addiction cannot be resolved simply by getting a person to remove the addictive substance or behavior from their life, but by digging deeply until the root cause of addictive behaviors is uncovered; only then can an addiction truly be addressed.
She discusses why many conventional approaches to recovery don\u2019t work for a lot of people, and what\u2019s wrong about the fundamental assumptions such programs rely upon.
Dr.\xa0Estes\u2019 approach is a combination of several methods, including talk therapy,\xa0cognitive behavioral therapy techniques,\xa0life coaching, addiction coaching, motivational interviewing, and techniques that address brain damage from years\u2019 worth of substance use.
She discusses how she helps people with her Sober On-Demand program, and proprietary uses of a machine which repairs damaged receptors in the brain. Dr.\xa0Estes\xa0truly takes a holistic approach to each\xa0and every client, addressing their personal and unique needs and goals.
In her opinion, the goal isn\u2019t just to be sober or free from addiction: the goal is to be happy while sober, and happy while free from addiction.
