Addiction is one of the more significant social problems in America. Science overwhelmingly supports the identification of alcoholism and, by extension, drug addiction, as a disease process which progressively overwhelms a person's ability to think rationally about the substance or behavior to which they are addicted.

  Dr. Fuller has worked in this field for over fourteen years, and the first order of business with substance abuse is to determine whether the client is using substances to block out some emotional or painful experience, or whether they are in the grip of a progressive and often fatal illness.

  He works collaboratively with the client to help them make this determination, and make recommendations accordingly. For those who decide they are in the grip of a disease process, nothing has been shown to be as effective as 12 step support groups. Dr. Fuller utilizes an integrated mind/body/spirit approach to assist clients in overcoming addictions, borrowing from the fields of mindfulness, yoga, energy psychology, 12-step programs, and the field of consciousness research
