Symptoms of alcohol addiction

Recognizing alcohol addiction involves noticing a pattern of excessive drinking, including, but not limited to:

• Inability to control drinking

• Prioritizing alcohol over other activities

• Continuing to drink despite the problems it causes in one's physical health and personal and professional relationships and activities, and with the law.

Our treatment approaches to alcohol addiction

We tailor our treatment approaches to fit your unique needs, incorporating a blend of psychotherapy methods and medication.

Our psychotherapy options include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

• Motivational Interviewing (MI)

• Family Therapy

These psychotherapeutic interventions focus on:

• Changing drinking behavior

• Improving coping strategies

• Addressing underlying issues.

Medication treatments may involve:

• Naltrexone

• Acamprosate

Each intervention mode plays a different role in:

• Reducing cravings

• Promoting abstinence or causing adverse reactions to alcohol to discourage drinking.
