Our Alcohol Treatment Approach
Medical Detoxification
Safe, medically supervised alcohol withdrawal management with 24/7 monitoring. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening, so we use medications like benzodiazepines to prevent seizures and manage symptoms. Our medical team ensures patient safety throughout the detox process.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
FDA-approved medications including naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram to reduce cravings and prevent relapse. These medications work by blocking the rewarding effects of alcohol or creating unpleasant reactions when alcohol is consumed.
Behavioral Therapy
Evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), and family therapy. We help patients identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and address underlying mental health conditions that contribute to alcohol use.
Long-term Recovery Support
Comprehensive aftercare planning including support groups (AA, SMART Recovery), ongoing counseling, family therapy, and relapse prevention. We provide resources for rebuilding relationships, finding employment, and maintaining sobriety long-term.
Health Consequences of Alcohol Addiction
Liver Disease
Chronic alcohol use can lead to fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. Early intervention and sobriety can help prevent or slow progression of liver damage.
Cardiovascular Problems
Alcohol addiction increases risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and cardiomyopathy. These conditions can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.
Brain and Nervous System Damage
Long-term alcohol use can cause memory problems, cognitive impairment, peripheral neuropathy, and increased risk of dementia. Some damage may be reversible with sustained sobriety.
Mental Health Impact
Alcohol addiction often co-occurs with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. Our dual diagnosis treatment addresses both addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously.
Alcohol Emergency Help
Alcohol poisoning and withdrawal can be life-threatening. Signs include confusion, vomiting, seizures, slow breathing, and unconsciousness. If someone has consumed a large amount of alcohol or is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
