Can Someone Tell Me How to Stop Drinking Alcohol?

Do you find it a challenge to limit how much or how often you drink alcohol? Does your drinking cause you to feel guilty, ashamed, anxious, or depressed? If you are like millions of others, you would like to quit but don’t know how to stop drinking alcohol. This means you are struggling with an alcohol use disorder or alcohol addiction. An alcohol use disorder is an inability to regulate how much alcohol one consumes. Typically, your brain chemistry has changed due to alcohol consumption creating a dependency or addiction. This is a complex disease requiring professional support to heal and recover. Fortunately, Beaches Recovery offers extensive alcohol addiction treatment and can guide you through finding the support necessary.

Ending the Habit is Not Easy

Alcohol is a potent drug. A person who has become dependent on it to cope with stress or get through their day-to-day routine may find it especially hard to quit drinking, even if they have a great desire to get sober.

Currently, 16.3 million Americans ages 18 years and older need professional rehab to beat some alcohol use disorder. Only a small percentage will actively seek the help they need.

How to Stop Drinking Alcohol

Many people struggling with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) don’t know how to stop drinking alcohol. They are driven by an uncontrollable urge to drink, and eventually, they give in to the urge after attempting to stop.

In most cases, professional help from a reputable rehab treatment center is the only way to overcome alcohol dependence truly. Self-detox poses many risks, can be dangerous, and sometimes fatal. Detox performed at a medical facility can be done under the close monitoring of staff trained to handle any complications during the process.

At Beaches Recovery in Jacksonville, FL, we can help you beat your addiction safely and effectively. We will also teach you how to resist the urge to fall back into addictive behaviors so that you can remain committed to life-long sobriety once treatment has ended.

Choosing to get clean can feel overwhelming and scary, but you don’t have to face the recovery process alone at our facility. Our specialists and professionals are experienced at treating addiction and are devoted to delivering quality, compassionate care to everyone who enters our doors.

Our facility is JCAHO accredited and accepts most major insurances. Guests can lodge in comfort in our fully furnished apartments with full kitchens. Recovery in our facility is very different than a sterile experience in a hospital. We want you to feel at ease during your time with us, so we’ve taken every measure to make your experience as pleasant as possible.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment Programs Available

At Beaches Recovery, we offer addiction treatment programs across the entire spectrum of care:

• Medical detox at our partner off-site facility, Tides Edge Detox, if needed
• Residential or inpatient treatment
• Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
• Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
• Outpatient treatment
• Aftercare

No matter what program best fits your unique needs, we offer extensive therapeutic options designed to address the mental aspects of alcohol addiction. Frequently, alcohol addiction involves some underlying mental health issue like a depressive or anxiety disorder. Often, individuals aren’t aware they are struggling with a mental health issue. Alcohol abuse can be a form of self-medicating to deal with the distress. When this is the case, individuals have a co-occurring disorder (addiction and a mental health issue together) and require dual diagnosis treatment. Our dual diagnosis treatment program not only addresses substance use disorder but several mental health issues, such as:

• Acute stress disorder treatment
• ADHD treatment
• Anxiety treatment
• Bipolar disorder
• Depression treatment
• Drunkorexia treatment
• Social anxiety disorder treatment
