There are behavioral treatments, medications, and mutual-support groups.

    The people who can help you include supportive friends and family, another person with a similar problem, and Health Care Professionals. Healthcare professionals may include your Primary Care Provider, Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Psychotherapist, or Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

  • YOU CAN BE WELL

    Being stuck in a loop is not the same as being well. Stuck is a loss of freedom that somehow keeps us from living our lives. You can be stuck in your head or in your habits.

    Recovering your freedom can help you be well. This means we stop doing unhealthy things, start doing healthy ones, and become comfortable in our own skin.

    Begin your recovery before it's too late. You can find help.

  • YOU NEED A PLAN

    It's not enough to detox and then get back to the way things used to be. That was never enough or you wouldn't be in this situation.

    Recovery becomes an approach to living a life you love while becoming your best self. This takes a comprehensive plan tailor made just for you. The plan needs to fit your daily life today and flex to fit the life you're creating.

    What's your plan?

    • Short and Long Term Goals

STILL NOT SURE

  • YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO AWAY

    f the people who get help for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) or Substance Use Disorder (SUD), 94% do so as an outpatient.

    This means you don't have to leave your job, family, or home. You can get into recovery while staying connected to the ones you love.

  • DETOX IS MANAGEABLE

    Of the people with an Alcohol Use Disorder who quit drinking, experience Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS). Symptoms range from mild to life threatening, creating severe discomfort and fear which can prevent people from quitting. Detox doesn't need to be feared because it can be managed by medication assisted treatments.

    Help with detoxification can be as simple as talking to your primary doctor about your plans to quit and the possibility of AWS.

  • RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE

    The terms alcoholic and addict come from a time when the medical community had no treatment for problems associated with alcohol or drug use, so they made it an identity problem.

    Today there are many choices that make recovery possible. Are you ready to make a call, begin planning, or start counseling?
