What we treat

Alcohol use treatment

Alcohol is the most socially normalised substance there is, which is exactly why problems with it are easy to overlook — including by the person having them.

What it can look like

  • Drinking more, or more often, than you intended
  • Trying to cut down and not managing it
  • Drinking to sleep, to steady nerves, or to get through the day
  • Needing more than you once did for the same effect
  • Morning shakiness, sweating or nausea
  • Memory gaps, or filling in the night afterwards

You do not need to recognise all of these, and recognising them is not a diagnosis. That is what the evaluation is for.

Alcohol withdrawal can be medically dangerous and occasionally life-threatening. If you drink heavily and daily, do not stop abruptly without medical advice. In an emergency call 911.

How we approach it

You do not have to have decided to stop entirely in order to be seen. Reducing harm, understanding what the drinking is doing for you, and treating what sits underneath it are all legitimate starting points.

Alcohol interacts heavily with sleep, anxiety and mood, and with psychiatric medication. Being straightforward about how much you actually drink lets the plan be built around reality — it is a clinical detail, not a confession.
