Gary Blanchard, a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, offers individual counseling for people with substance-related
issues as well as other mental health counseling. Located in Ware, Massachusetts, Gary's work is especially geared to
people with a chronic relapse history, those who are not comfortable with traditional treatment, and people with
co-occuring mood disorders.
Gary has an approach to addiction treatment that stresses the need to develop positive life skills
to support recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction. It also places a focus on building and maintaining recovery rather
than preventing relapse. Gary Blanchard's book, Building and Maintaining Recovery: A Success-Centered
Approach to Addiction Recovery, offers tools for success in recovery.

in their lives and to attain their goals.
