Alcohol addiction counseling in Grand Rapids Charter Township can help people manage their urges to consume alcohol. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their addiction, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as issues that their addiction may stem from, like trauma.
Alcohol addiction counseling works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their addiction, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing alcohol addiction counseling can also help to prevent relapse.
Alcohol addiction counseling from our therapists in Grand Rapids Charter Township, MI is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of alcohol addiction counseling with our providers at Thriveworks in Grand Rapids Charter Township, MI depends on the individual’s needs and the extent and severity of their addiction, as well as the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in alcohol addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.
There are many types of alcohol addicts in the world; from the “obvious” public alcoholic to the high functioning addicts that often have powerful jobs and lead very organized lives. Despite this variety in outward appearance, they tend to share many of the same symptoms. All addicts have a physical dependency on alcohol and a mental compulsion to consume it. Drinking far in excess of what is healthy is always the case.
If this sounds like and resonates with you, please consider reaching out to Thriveworks Grand Rapids for help. We can get you scheduled for an alcoholism therapy appointment right away.
In addition to the staples above, the following signs are associated with an addiction:
It can be hard to tell the difference between someone who abuses alcohol and someone addicted to alcohol. The major distinction is one of control and choice – an alcohol abuser often drinks far in excess of the healthy limits, yet maintains control over his or her choice to drink. An alcohol addict has no such ability; he or she is mentally and physically compelled to consume alcohol. The physical dependency will often cause the addict to experience withdrawal symptoms if no alcohol is consumed.
Choosing to quit alcohol is a long road. But all roads have a beginning and with alcohol addiction this beginning is acceptance. Once one has accepted the problem, the healing can begin and a process of detoxification, rehabilitation and finally abstinence can occur.
Rehabilitation in the form of counseling is very often necessary for this newfound abstinence to be maintained. Here at Thriveworks Grand Rapids we work with addicts throughout this process to help keep them on track and maintain their abstinence.
We pride ourselves in the meticulous care and great respect we afford our clients – so please give us a call and embark on the road to recovery. In addition, we offer evening and weekend sessions, provide same-week appointments to new clients, and accept most major insurances. To experience these benefits yourself, reach out to Thriveworks Grand Rapids today to schedule your appointment.
