Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction, sometimes called alcohol use disorder, is shaped by many factors. A person’s genetics, environment, and stress can all influence whether casual drinking turns into a serious problem.
While many people can drink socially without losing control, others find that over time, alcohol starts to take over. They may feel powerful cravings, struggle with negative consequences, and discover that cutting back or quitting entirely feels almost impossible.
When drinking continues despite harm to health, relationships, or daily life, it is often a sign that alcohol addiction has developed.
Signs of Alcohol Addiction
It’s not always easy to know when drinking has crossed the line from social or recreational use into addiction. Recognizing the signs can help you understand how serious the problem may be and what type of treatment is needed.
Common Signs of Alcohol Addiction
- Intense cravings-a strong urge or need to drink.
- Loss of control-drinking more than planned or being unable to stop.
- Neglecting responsibilities-problems at work, school, or home related to alcohol use.
- Withdrawal symptoms-shaking, sweating, anxiety, or irritability when not drinking.
- Tolerance-needing to drink more to feel the same effects.
- Continued use despite consequences- drinking even when it causes health issues, legal problems like DUIs, financial strain, or relationship conflict.
Like other health conditions, beginning with a professional evaluation can help determine the severity of alcohol use and guide the right plan for care.
Our Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Because alcohol addiction is complex, lasting recovery requires strong support. That’s what we provide at Green Hill Recovery.
Unlike many programs, we bring together psychiatrists, therapists, coaches, and family therapists as a unified team. This allows us to address medical, mental health, and family needs all at once, giving each person the best chance for recovery.
We also understand that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. For some, psychiatry and therapy may be enough to reduce harmful drinking. For others, alcohol use may be more severe and require a higher level of care such as a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
Our model is designed to adjust with you over time. Whether you need to step up into more intensive support or step down into lighter care, Green Hill offers a system built for every stage of recovery along with ongoing support for long-term success.
What We Offer for Alcohol Addiction Treatment:
- Psychiatry and medication management
- Individual, group, and family therapy
- Coaching and mentorship
- Family support services
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
