Harrell believes in a holistic approach to addiction treatment that involves treating the body and the mind. Harrell treats addiction with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and 12-Step programming. Harrell’s passion for helping those struggling with the disease of addiction is ingrained in every aspect of his work.
