If you or someone you care about is living with alcohol use disorder (AUD), then you know how difficult it is to stop drinking on your own. Even when you know you should stop, you crave another drink.
You’re not alone. According to the National Database for Drug Abuse Statistics, 17.5% of Florida adults over 18 binge drink at least once per month. This is a prevalent issue, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your life back.
At Real Recovery Solutions, our staff know how much effort recovery requires, because many of us are in recovery ourselves. We also know that with the right support and a lot of hard work, you are capable of healing.
AUD is a significant chronic condition that occurs when you have both a physical and psychological reliance on the substance. It’s marked by an inability to control or stop drinking despite its adverse effects on health, relationships, and personal or professional life.
There is no one-size-fits-all timeline for the development of AUD. It varies greatly among individuals, influenced by factors such as your family history, frequency and amount of alcohol consumption, and personal circumstances.
There’s no question that AUD has a severe impact on your physical health. However, the condition also leads to substantial behavioral health and mental health problems. These problems can include anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.
Excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to co-occurring substance use disorders, where an individual may start using other psychoactive substances alongside alcohol. With such a broad range of potential impacts, treating AUD is crucial.
Every journey toward recovery is unique; we understand this at Real Recovery. We provide addiction treatment programs tailored to each individual’s needs, history of alcohol use, and personal circumstances. Our approach to alcohol treatment encompasses several modalities, including:
Alcohol Detoxification
The first step towards a successful recovery where experienced clinical staff monitor and support safe alcohol elimination from the system, managing withdrawal symptoms and preparing for the next recovery step.
Residential or Inpatient Rehab Services
Provides excellent, round-the-clock care in a structured, safe environment to reduce exposure to potential triggers and allow exclusive focus on recovery goals.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Offers intensive, structured, daily care with the ability to return home in the evenings. Provides both half-day and full-day treatment options, suitable for those needing consistent, structured support without constant supervision.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Provides more support than traditional outpatient treatment without requiring a step away from daily life. A flexible option for busy individuals who want to dedicate consistent time weekly to recovery, including individual therapy, group treatment, and other holistic therapy options.
Provides continuing support throughout the recovery journey. A flexible treatment option offering individualized therapy, group therapy, and a focus on long-term skill development, with the opportunity to adjust treatment as needs change.
Provides a safe, stable, substance-free environment for up to a year, living with others who share recovery goals. Emphasizes community and creating a long-term support system.

There isn’t one clear reason why some people develop AUD and others don’t. However, there are several factors that are believed to contribute to its development.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs):
Family history:
If you have a parent or another close relative who experiences AUD, you are more likely to develop the condition yourself. While some people may have a predisposition toward AUD, there is no “alcoholism gene.”
Co-occurring mental health conditions:
Major stressors and life changes:
At Real Recovery, we believe in taking a whole-person approach to treating AUD. We ensure that our clients are prepared to deal with the physical, psychological, and emotional parts of recovering from alcohol use disorder.
