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:
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.
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.
Outpatient Program
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.
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.
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.
Sober Living Program
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.
AUD can impact every facet of your life, from your relationships to your finances to your health. But it doesn’t have to control your life. With the right alcohol addiction treatment, you’re capable of making real, lasting change.
At Real Recovery Solutions, we know that healing from AUD is about more than just ending your alcohol consumption: it’s about building a life you’re proud of. That’s why we’ll connect you with resources that support your recovery, including SNAP benefits, free gym memberships, and educational opportunities. Contact us today at 813-373-6762 to begin treatment for AUD.
