Substance Abuse
Alcohol addiction (alcohol use disorder) can affect health, mood, relationships, and daily functioning. Evidence-based outpatient care can help you stabilize, build skills, and protect long-term recovery.
Alcohol addiction often involves loss of control, increasing tolerance, and continued use despite harm to health, work, relationships, or mental well-being. Many people don’t drink “all day” but still struggle: binge patterns, drinking to sleep, drinking to calm anxiety, or repeated attempts to cut back that don’t last.
These patterns can show up gradually—and can be addressed with structured care. If you recognize yourself in several of these, you’re not alone.
Recovery blends skills (CBT/DBT), relapse-prevention planning, accountability, and support for co-occurring mental health concerns. Many people benefit from learning how stress, sleep, and social environments drive cravings—and building a plan for weekends, events, and conflict.
Alcohol can temporarily reduce anxiety or numb emotional pain. Over time it often worsens depression, irritability, panic, and sleep disruption. Dual diagnosis care addresses both sides of the cycle: mood symptoms and alcohol use patterns—so progress is more stable.
Relapse prevention is not just “willpower.” It’s a practical plan for high-risk moments.
