Conditions We Treat

Alcohol Use Disorder

Support for alcohol use that feels hard to control or is affecting health, mood, work, or relationships.

Overview of Alcohol Use Disorder

Alcohol use disorder ranges from mild to severe and can affect people from every background. It may involve cravings, loss of control, withdrawal, or continued drinking despite consequences.

Treatment is based on safety, health history, personal goals, and whether anxiety, depression, trauma, or another condition is also present.

Common symptoms

  • Drinking more than planned
  • Repeated attempts to cut down
  • Cravings or preoccupation with alcohol
  • Tolerance or withdrawal symptoms
  • Missed responsibilities
  • Continued drinking despite health or relationship problems

How it can affect daily life

Alcohol can worsen sleep, mood, blood pressure, memory, and medication side effects. Withdrawal can be medically dangerous for some people.

When to seek professional help

  • You are worried about the amount or pattern of drinking
  • You experience shaking, sweating, nausea, seizures, or confusion when alcohol wears off
  • Drinking is affecting safety, health, work, or relationships

How Alliance evaluates and treats Alcohol Use Disorder

We assess drinking patterns, withdrawal risk, health, medications, and mental health. Depending on need, care may include medication, counseling referrals, recovery supports, or referral for supervised withdrawal care.
