Transitioning from Summer to Fall

Traditionally, I get pretty bummed when summer comes to an end and my kids have to go back to school. I have always loved and cherished every moment of summer with my kids at home! No early morning rises, no rushing to get kids ready & out the door, no homework,...

Learning Through Progress

Recovery is not a straight line, it’s a journey marked by growth, setbacks, learning, and resilience. One of the most powerful principles that supports this journey is the idea of progress, not perfection. It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t require flawlessness; it simply requires movement in the right direction.

Remaining Aware of Relapse Prevention During the Summer

As the weather warms and summer begins, many people look forward to vacations, outdoor gatherings, and festivals. While this season is often associated with fun and relaxation, it can also bring an increase in substance use. Understanding the connection between summer and substance use is essential for promoting healthier choices and staying safe during the sunny months.

Substance Use Intensive Outpatient Program

At One80 Counseling, we understand that the journey to recovery from substance use is deeply personal—and often complex. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our new Substance Use Intensive Outpatient Program (SAIOP), designed to offer compassionate, structured care that supports individuals in reclaiming their lives while maintaining everyday responsibilities.

A Tribute to Our Friend

Heaven gained a saint on November 4, 2024. Heidi Fox Tripp, LCMHC and One80 team member since 2015 left us all too soon at the age of 48. She had battled brain tumors for several years prior and over the summer started to decline. I met Heidi in August of 2015 after...
