Alcohol use disorder is common in the US. People from all ways of life live with alcohol dependency and addiction. Although alcohol is legal, it can be just as addictive as illicit and prescription drugs. In fact, alcohol addiction can creep up quite slowly. Casual drinking and social drinking can become a habit, especially when paired with stress, life changes, and past trauma. Habits can become addictions when the brain becomes dependent on alcohol for various chemical processes.
At Athens Addiction Recovery Center, we pair medically assisted detox with a range of therapies for successful alcohol addiction treatment. Our family-owned clinic in Athens, GA offers a variety of outpatient alcohol rehab options. Therefore, if you or someone you love needs support for alcohol use disorder, call us today at 844.959.4998 to learn more about our substance abuse treatment programs.

Why Start Alcohol Rehab?
For many, alcohol addiction is a symptom of something else. Many people turn to alcohol or other substances to self-medicate and self-soothe. In fact, nearly half of people living with addiction also live with co-occurring disorders like depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
While alcohol can temporarily soothe and provide an escape, in the long run, it does not heal underlying illnesses. As a result, some may turn to alcohol to avoid feelings related to past trauma, PTSD, or daily stress. The team at Athens Recovery uses a range of therapeutic techniques to diagnose co-occurring disorders and help clients resolve addiction triggers.
Some people may attempt to quit using alcohol cold turkey. However, this is often unsuccessful and may even be dangerous. Fortunately, our programs can help clients detox safely by monitoring vital signs, restoring hydration levels, and preventing reuse.
