How Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment Works

Care starts with a full evaluation, and treatment combines medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with counseling and regular follow-up. There is no single right medication for everyone. Your provider walks you through the options, and together you choose the treatment that fits your health, your goals and your other medicines, based on shared decision-making and a careful look at the risks and benefits of each option. Whether withdrawal can be managed safely as an outpatient is decided at your evaluation. When the risk of severe withdrawal is high, we help arrange a higher level of care. Stopping heavy daily drinking suddenly can cause seizures or delirium tremens, which can be fatal. Talk to a clinician before stopping, and call 911 for confusion, hallucinations or a seizure.
