Alcohol use disorder is the clinical term for what is also called alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence, alcohol addiction, and colloquially, alcoholism. It is unhealthy alcohol use, and can be mild or severe. Today, alcohol use disorder is a recognized mental health condition and medical condition as classified by the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
Your insurance will more than likely cover treatment for alcohol use disorder. You can check your policy and locate your coverage information, or you can give us a call with your policy number and we can check it for you.
Our on-site facility in Happy Valley is an intensive outpatient treatment center. We accept patients in our treatment program that are ambulatory and at levels of care 2.1 (9-20 weekly therapy hours) and 2.5 (20+ weekly therapy hours).
As an intensive outpatient facility, we proudly offer an alternative treatment program to the traditional inpatient treatment center model. Benefits of this updated therapy option are many.
The first is scheduling flexibility, as we schedule your sessions around your professional schedule as much as reasonable and possible. Patients also do not have to suffer total disruption of their lives in order to go to treatment. They do not have to take a leave of absence from work or leave loved ones at home alone.
Not only does this help with discretion and confidentiality, this also enables a smoother transition into a clean-and-sober lifestyle post-treatment since the patient’s environment (family and work life) has shifted gradually alongside the patient’s healing. Economically, outpatient treatment is much more cost-effective than residential care, which usually means that individuals can enjoy therapy for longer periods of time and in turn, this contributes to efficacy of treatment – patients are less likely to relapse with more support over a longer time period.
Alcohol addiction and recovering from it have plagued certain members of our society since about the time that alcohol was created. Alcohol problems and alcohol treatment are not new. The National Institutes of Health indicate that science journals have been researching and publishing on this condition since at least the 1870s, a short period of time past The Enlightenment.
The American Psychiatric Association has been examining alcoholism since the turn of the 20th century.
Today, after at least 150 years of research delving into the topic, we clinicians have a confident understanding of the condition and how to treat it.
When you’re ready to get help, we’ve got you.
The misuse of alcohol is a condition that can affect an individual from any walk of life, adults and adolescents alike.
Heavy drinking over time leads to personal health issues like liver disease. Cirrhosis of the liver is a common health problem in individuals with alcohol dependence. Additional health problems can also result.
Alcoholism brings more profound risks to family members and society than any other drug, according to a study reported in The Economist. Indeed, heavy drinking brings enormous social consequences. Alcohol dependence destroys families, careers, bank accounts, relationships, and more. Alcohol use disorder puts the general public at risk with inappropriate public behavior such as enhanced aggressiveness and potentially lethal driving practices. For these reasons, alcohol is considered the absolute worst substance on earth, according to these researchers.
If this describes your experience at all, not to fret. The clinicians and addiction professionals at our alcohol addiction rehab center are here to help.
Alcohol use disorder often presents as part of a collection of challenges that includes addiction to other substances and/or mental health challenge(s).
Whatever conditions the patient has, we are here to help. Our professional staff is well-equipped to manage whatever conditions patients arrive with. Nothing is too complex, too complicated, too dire. Individual treatment plans will include a combination of psychotherapy, group therapy, in-depth behavioral therapy, and other modalities as appropriate to the individual to treat even the most difficult conditions. We can help.
Alcohol dependence is treated with multiple types of treatment. The following modalities are used to some degree in our alcohol treatment programs.
The health care providers on staff here at Premiere Recovery Center draw from a range of suitable medications to assist the alcohol withdrawal process. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) explains that naltrexone is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used to treat both alcohol use disorder (AUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD). For AUD, It works by binding to the endorphin receptors and blocking the effects of alcohol. It reduces alcohol cravings and makes drinking alcohol less attractive, helping patients maintain their sobriety. Naltrexone is commonly prescribed for AUD.
Our health care professionals always prescribe medication through the AUD detox process and for the first period of withdrawal, when the patient is experiencing strong alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
The first stage of breaking free from alcohol dependence is detoxification. The brain and body have become dependent upon the regular dose of alcohol, so when the individual stops drinking alcohol, the body is not happy. Alcohol detox can be mild or severe, depending on several factors. The patient is best served in either an inpatient or outpatient facility, where health care professionals can provide oversight.
Customized individual therapy is always an important element of our treatment programs. In one-on-one therapy sessions, the patient can receive personalized direction to move forward with the individual’s unique needs. Medication is also monitored partially through the individual therapy sessions.
In group therapy, patients work together, with the guidance of a therapist, to provide peer feedback and support. It is a kind of talk therapy.
Many group therapy sessions rely on cognitive behavioral therapy modalities, which seek to alter behavior by changing the patient’s thinking. These modalities have been shown to be quite effective at treating AUD and related complexities.
In group therapy sessions, contributing and listening, patients learn to recognize healthful and harmful thinking patterns that tend to lead to alcohol use.
When individuals present with alcohol dependence, a full physical is conducted to assess overall health. Alcohol dependence depletes the body’s stores of some essential vitamins, which need to be replenished. During severe alcohol detox, the patient needs medical oversight to ensure patient safety. Dietary habits may require adjusting. Throughout treatment, the patient is monitored to ensure optimal physical health.
Patients benefit from continuing to work on their sobriety through support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
The groups provide valuable peer support to all members who wish to participate.
We also provide family therapy options here in our facility. When a loved one is afflicted with AUD, family members can provide a great deal of support and assistance to help that individual maintain long-term sobriety.
We work with families to help them better understand the challenges of AUD and how best to provide support long term.
We are an outpatient treatment facility, but we also recognize that sometimes, individuals benefit from living in a quiet, spacious, clean-and-sober environment to support their healing during treatment.
We offer two homes, one in Pleasant Valley (women) and the other in Happy Valley (men), to our patients who would prefer to stay on-site. These are beautiful, luxury, upscale, quiet, safe, clean-and-sober homes with every comfort and amenity conceivable. Our goal is to offer all we can to help make your recovery journey a long-term success.
Transitional housing through Premiere Sober Living, an affiliated facility, is also an option for continued support. Many individuals benefit from the clean-and-sober environment as they transition into an alcohol-free lifestyle.
Many current and former patients reside at Premiere Sober Living.
