Addiction

Addiction Counselling in Dubai

Addiction in Dubai often presents in the context of high professional performance and visibility. The addiction is managed. Professional life continues. The point at which this management fails is when people tend to seek help. Dr Jacquet trained at Hazelden Foundation and Hope-One, with over 25,000 hours of direct addiction work.

Addictions Treated

– Alcohol dependency — including high-functioning presentations
– Cocaine addiction
– Gambling and financial risk-taking
– Sex and pornography addiction
– Prescription medication dependency
– Dual diagnosis — addiction alongside depression or trauma

Individual Treatment Without Residential

For professionals in Dubai with significant reputational exposure, residential treatment is rarely viable. Specialist individual clinical work — via secure video or intensive sessions in London — provides clinical quality equal to residential programmes, in complete confidentiality.

The Twelve-Step Model

Recommended alongside individual therapy where appropriate — not because it is perfect, but because individual therapy cannot provide community. The person in recovery who combines specialist individual work with regular meetings has a significantly better prognosis than either alone.
