Recognizing the signs

Signs of alcohol use disorder

Loss of Control

Drinking more or longer than intended, with unsuccessful attempts to cut down, even when you've set clear limits for yourself beforehand.

Strong Cravings

Powerful urges that are difficult to resist, with significant time spent obtaining or recovering from alcohol.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Failing work, school, or home obligations due to drinking.

Tolerance & Withdrawal

Needing more for the same effect, or withdrawal symptoms like tremors and anxiety when stopping — both signs your body has adapted to regular alcohol use.

Support That Fits Your Life

Regular check-ins — virtual or in-person — help you stay accountable to your recovery without uprooting your daily routine or work schedule.

Ready when you are

Cutting back doesn't have to be a solo effort.

Confidential evaluations and medication options that actually reduce cravings, not just willpower.

Understanding AUD

A Medical Condition, Not a Character Flaw

Alcohol use disorder affects brain chemistry and exists on a spectrum from mild to severe. Stopping or controlling drinking without professional help is extremely difficult once the brain's reward system has changed.

With the right combination of medication management and counseling, many people achieve lasting recovery. Learn more from the NIAAA's guide to understanding AUD.

Important safety note

Alcohol Withdrawal Can Be Dangerous

Medical supervision is essential when stopping heavy or prolonged alcohol use — severe cases can include seizures. During your evaluation, we assess your withdrawal risk and coordinate referrals to medical detox if needed before beginning outpatient treatment.

Evidence-based treatment

Medications and counseling, combined

Naltrexone

Reduces cravings and blocks the rewarding effects of alcohol.

Acamprosate & Disulfiram

Help maintain abstinence by reducing cravings or creating a deterrent reaction.

Counseling & Dual Diagnosis

Supportive counseling, motivational support, referrals for CBT, and treatment for co-occurring depression or anxiety. See dual diagnosis treatment.

Common questions

About Alcohol Treatment

How do I know if I need treatment?

If alcohol is causing problems in your life — health, relationships, work, or unsuccessful attempts to cut down — treatment can help. You don't need to hit "rock bottom" to seek help.

Will my insurance cover alcohol treatment?

We accept nearly every major insurance plan, including Medicare and Medicaid, and verify your coverage before your first appointment.

Can I continue working during treatment?

Yes. Virtual appointments eliminate travel time, and we're open Monday–Saturday with evening appointments available on request, so most people continue working and maintaining daily responsibilities.

Is my treatment confidential?

Absolutely. Treatment is protected by HIPAA plus additional federal confidentiality protections specific to substance use disorder treatment.

What if I relapse during treatment?

Relapse can be part of recovery, not a failure. We work with you to understand what happened and adjust your plan without judgment.

Can you treat my depression or anxiety at the same time?

Yes — this is one of our specialties. We provide integrated dual diagnosis treatment, addressing alcohol use and mental health together for better outcomes.
