Evidence-based therapies
Therapies & Treatments That Help Alcohol Recovery
There is no single path to recovery. We combine proven therapies into a personalized plan that treats the whole person, not just the drinking.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you recognize the thoughts and situations that trigger drinking and build healthier ways to cope.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
When appropriate, FDA-approved medications such as naltrexone or acamprosate can reduce cravings and support recovery.
Motivational Interviewing
A supportive, non-judgmental approach that strengthens your own motivation and confidence to change.
Group & Family Therapy
Group support and family involvement rebuild connection and create accountability throughout recovery.
How treatment works

Recovery begins with a single conversation. Here is what to expect when you start alcohol addiction treatment with us.

Step 2
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
You and your provider decide on the right combination of counseling and, if appropriate, medication, built around a schedule that fits your life.
Step 3
Beginning Your Recovery Journey
You attend counseling, stay in close contact with your care team, and adjust your plan as cravings fade and stability grows.
