Understanding Outpatient Addiction Treatment at Pillars Health Group
Alcohol addiction, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a serious yet treatable condition affecting millions of individuals and families across the United States. In this article we’ll go over what alcohol addiction is, how to recognize it, and the most effective ways to treat it. You’ll also learn how Pillars Health Group offers customized, outpatient addiction treatment plans, including detox placement services, designed to guide individuals toward lasting recovery.
Understanding the signs and symptoms of alcohol addiction is the first step in identifying when help is needed. From there, exploring personalized treatment options—from detox referrals to outpatient care—can pave the way to recovery.
At Pillars Health Group, we offer outpatient alcohol addiction treatment programs designed to meet each individual’s unique needs. We provide a pathway towards recovery through detox referrals, therapy, medication management, and services that include alumni programs and relapse prevention.
Although we do not provide in-house detox, we assist clients in securing placement at trusted detox facilities that specialize in safe and supervised withdrawal management. Once detox is completed, clients can seamlessly transition into one of our structured outpatient treatment programs for ongoing care and support.
Our treatment programs are a structured and supportive setting for individuals transitioning from detox or inpatient care. We offer both Half Day and Full Day treatment programs, which let individuals mold their treatment around their own schedules.
Clients attend therapy and clinical sessions during the day and return home or to a sober living environment in the evenings. This intensive level of care provides a strong therapeutic foundation while maintaining some level of independence.
Group therapy provides a supportive environment where individuals can connect with others facing similar challenges, share their experiences, learn from each other, and build a sense of community. Support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) can also be a valuable resource for AA meetings, 12-step programs, or related alumni gatherings.
One-on-one sessions with our experienced clinicians are essential for addressing the underlying causes of addiction, exploring triggers, developing coping mechanisms, and processing any trauma or co-occurring mental health issues. We utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
For individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions, medication management may be necessary to stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, or address other symptoms. Certain medications may also be used to reduce cravings and support abstinence from alcohol. This is always carefully monitored by our medical professionals.
Our Outpatient Programs (OP) offer a flexible approach to recovery for individuals who have completed initial treatment. These outpatient programs provide a safe and structured environment for ongoing support as clients reintegrate into daily life. Designed for those ready for increased independence, our outpatient programs ensure that individuals are never truly alone on their recovery journey. We remain committed to providing continued support and guidance even after the completion of more intensive programs.
Our case managers work with clients to develop a comprehensive aftercare plan, connecting them with resources in their community, and supporting their transition back into daily life. This may include referrals to support groups, sober living facilities, or ongoing therapy.
Our holistic approach emphasizes not only addressing the physical dependence on alcohol, but also the emotional, psychological, and social aspects of addiction. We empower individuals to develop healthy coping strategies, build strong support systems, and create a foundation for lasting recovery and a fulfilling life free from alcohol dependence. We are committed to providing compassionate, individualized care every step of the way.
Alcohol addiction can develop gradually, making it difficult to recognize at first. Over time, it can severely impact a person’s health, relationships, and overall well-being. Recognizing the signs early increases the chances of a successful recovery.
Common physical and behavioral signs of alcohol addiction include:
