What Is Alcoholism?

Alcoholism, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a medical condition characterized by an impaired ability to stop or control alcohol use despite adverse social, occupational, or health consequences. It's a progressive disease that can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or willpower.

Alcoholism involves more than just physical dependence; it's a complex condition that changes brain chemistry. Chronic alcohol use alters the brain's reward system, leading to intense cravings and a psychological compulsion to drink. Over time, an individual may develop a tolerance, needing more alcohol to achieve the same effects, and experience withdrawal symptoms when they try to stop. Recognizing the signs of alcoholism is key to seeking timely and effective alcohol addiction treatment.

Learn more about the different levels of care we offer:

Residential Treatment

For individuals needing a structured and immersive healing environment, our residential treatment program offers 24/7 support and medical supervision. This level of care allows you to step away from daily triggers and stressors to focus completely on your recovery. The program includes individual therapy, group counseling, educational workshops, and holistic activities designed to heal the mind, body, and spirit.

Outpatient Programs

Our outpatient alcohol treatment programs provide flexibility for those who need to balance recovery with work, school, or family responsibilities. These programs offer a structured course of therapy and support while allowing you to live at home. Outpatient care is an excellent option for individuals with a strong support system or as a step-down level of care after completing a residential program.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many individuals struggling with alcoholism also face co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Our dual diagnosis treatment addresses both the substance use disorder and the underlying mental health condition simultaneously. By treating these interconnected issues together, we improve the chances of a successful and sustainable recovery. Our integrated approach ensures you receive comprehensive care for all your behavioral health needs.
