Brief Addiction Treatment Services
If you or a loved one is experiencing difficulty with substance use and addiction, you may need help from someone who has helped hundreds of others better manage or overcome destructive or harmful habits. Maybe you’ve tried AA and it just wasn’t for you.
It’s time you found a professional therapist who has a different approach–one that’s proven successful over time. Dr. Marc Kern has over 30 years of experience in assisting people in eliminating or minimizing the consequences of addictive behavior and reclaiming control over their lives. All services are confidential. Your social and professional reputation is important to you. And it’s important to Dr. Kern
As a place for you to start, Dr. Kern offers two introductory services:
1. Initial Consultation – Guaranteed
By Phone
This service is offered as a low cost, discreet and convenient way for individuals in crisis who need a “second opinion” on whether they are taking the right steps to overcome their addiction problem. Dr. Kern can answer many important questions very quickly. Doesn’t it just make sense to have an independent professional take a look at important addiction treatment decisions before you commit time and money to a specific course of action?
The 15-minute phone consultation is not meant to be a treatment session. During the brief consultation, you may ask any questions you might have about Dr. Kern: his credentials, his experience, his methods, and his record of success in addiction treatment. This is not just a five-minute let me convince you to come to my rehab center sales pitch. It’s about learning what you need to know to get rid of a bad habit that is affecting the quality of your life.
Other ways to use this consultation include: You can learn enough about non-12-step inpatient programs to find out if one of them might be right for you. Or you will discover how to find someone local to prescribe the newest anti-craving medication. You may be concerned about marrying when your prospective partner’s drinking is already getting in the way. Dr. Kern even offers a money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied.
2. Recovery “Kick-Start”
Face-to-Face
A face-to-face “Recovery Kick-Start” session can help you to quickly get from where you are now to where you want to be. At the very least, it can get you moving in the right direction. The session is an hour-long private consultation with Dr. Kern at his private office in Beverly Hills. During the meeting, Dr. Kern will help you narrow your choices to a plan that you can get behind naturally. The goal of the session is to help you to understand where you are on the spectrum of addiction and how to better manage your substance abuse or dependence problem, according to goals you establish for yourself.
Dr. Kern’s area of expertise is non-12 step addiction treatment, a method that is gaining greater currency as the deficiencies of other approaches are becoming more apparent. His methodology focuses on aiding you in uncovering your own innate will power and guiding you to begin the journey to a more self-reliant and dependency-free lifestyle.
A follow-up consultation is included to help you stay on track by keeping you accountable or to revise your individual treatment plan.
By Phone
Dr. Kern also offers his kick-start session by phone to anyone in any geographical location. You do not need to see him face-to-face to get help in overcoming addictive behavior. If it is not possible for you to travel to Dr. Kern’s office in Beverly Hills, or you would simply rather maintain your privacy, Dr. Kern has made his sessions available in a convenient, confidential, discreet teleconference format. (A video chat alternative is also available.)
The phone session offers all of the same tools as the face-to-face session and also includes a follow-up consultation, both from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Why Get Professional Help?
By getting help, you automatically save time and, often, money. Rather than moving in and out of several treatment options, perhaps without having the success you had hoped for, you can take control of your own destiny and set yourself on a more rapid path to success.
Dr. Kern has over 30 years of experience in guiding people through the addiction treatment process. His methods are different from most others currently available because they use a self-empowering approach. These are quite different from 12-step programs which employ a methodology that cause individuals seeking treatment to avoid self-reliance and personal responsibility.
If you have reached a point in your life where substance abuse or another harmful habit has gained too much control over your life, then it is time to see if an alternative approach is right for you.
We ask that you use our online scheduler to make an appointment. Once we have confirmation of you payment from PayPal or approval of a credit card purchase, you will receive access by email to the online scheduler where you can select a date and time for your session based on your preference.
