Alcohol Abuse Treatment

About Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Alcohol abuse and addiction are serious conditions that can have devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities. Understanding the nature of alcohol abuse and addiction is the first step towards seeking help.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, alcohol abuse is defined as “a pattern of drinking that results in harm to one’s health, interpersonal relationships, or ability to work.” On the other hand, alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism, is a chronic and progressive disease that is characterized by compulsive drinking, loss of control over drinking, and negative consequences related to drinking.

How Can We Help?

Signs and Symptoms of Alcohol Abuse and Addiction

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of alcohol abuse and addiction is crucial for early intervention and treatment. Some common signs and symptoms include:

Drinking alone or in secret
Drinking to cope with stress or emotions
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not drinking
Drinking more than intended or for a longer period than intended
Neglecting responsibilities and relationships due to drinking
Continued drinking despite negative consequences

It’s important to note that not everyone who drinks alcohol will develop an addiction, but anyone who abuses alcohol is at risk.

Alcohol Abuse Treatment Options

For alcohol addiction, there is many evidence-based alcohol abuse treatment that is tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. With programs that are designed to address the underlying causes of addiction and help our clients achieve long-lasting recovery.

Some of the treatment options include:

Detoxification: The first step in alcohol abuse treatment is to safely and comfortably detox from alcohol. Our medical team provides 24/7 monitoring and support to ensure that the detox process is safe and comfortable. We also offer medication-assisted detoxification, where medication is used to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings.
Therapy: Therapy is an essential component of alcohol abuse treatment, as it helps individuals identify and address the underlying issues that led to addiction. Our therapists use evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), to help our clients develop coping skills, overcome triggers, and improve their overall mental health.
Group Therapy: In addition to individual therapy, we also offer group therapy sessions, where individuals can share their experiences, gain support from their peers, and learn from others’ successes and challenges. We believe that group therapy can be a powerful tool for alcohol abuse treatment, as it fosters a sense of community and provides a safe space for individuals to express themselves.
Aftercare: After completing the initial treatment program, we provide ongoing support and aftercare services to help individuals maintain their sobriety and prevent relapse. Our aftercare services include individual therapy, group therapy, 12-step meetings, and sober living arrangements.
