what kind of therapy do you offer in regard to my addiction problem ....The thing is ,the withdrawal symptoms are very swift and severe ...so i think i might also need some medications to minimize withdrawal symptoms pain(physical,emotional,mental) and safely tapper of zolpidem .....can you prescribe such meds that can help with withdrawals being less severe or atleast bearable ,or would you just help me through therapy sessions,without any medications to counteract zolpidem withdrawals ?

I am a psychologist and prescribing medications is the task of a psychiatrist.
Yes, addiction often involves combination treatment for best outcomes.
in therapy, the work is done on specific triggers and self control to ensure successful tapering as well as coping skills required to avoid a relapse.

if you wish to consult for the above mentioned concerns, you can through
