Alcohol Addiction Therapy

Living with alcohol addiction can feel like an uphill battle. Many people struggling with alcohol use find themselves caught in a cycle of shame, frustration, and attempts to quit that don’t seem to last.

Whether you’re looking for help for yourself or supporting someone you care about, reaching out for help can be scary, but it’s the first step towards healing.

What is Alcohol Addiction?

Alcohol addiction, also called Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), is more than just drinking too much.

It can look different for everyone, but some common signs include:

  • Drinking more or for longer periods than intended.
  • Experiencing cravings or a strong urge to drink.
  • Struggling to meet responsibilities at work, school, or home due to alcohol use.
  • Continuing to drink despite negative impacts on relationships or health.
  • Needing more alcohol to feel the same effects (tolerance).

Alcohol addiction doesn’t occur in isolation. It’s often influenced by underlying factors such as stress, trauma, mental health issues, or family history. Therapy can help you uncover and address these root causes while building the tools you need to overcome alcohol addiction.
