Alcohol addiction, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic disease characterized by an inability to control or stop drinking despite adverse health, social, or occupational consequences. It affects millions of Americans and their families, but recovery is possible. At Asheville Recovery Center, we provide a safe, supportive environment where individuals can begin their journey to a healthier, sober life.

Understanding Alcohol Addiction in Asheville

Recognizing the signs of alcohol addiction is the first step toward seeking help. While these can vary from person to person, common indicators include a strong craving for alcohol, developing a tolerance that requires more alcohol to feel its effects, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not drinking. Many individuals continue to drink even when it causes significant problems in their relationships, at work, or with their physical and mental health.

Types of Problematic Drinking We Treat

Binge Drinking

Consuming a large amount of alcohol in a short period. This can lead to risky behaviors and serious health complications if it becomes a regular pattern.

Daily Drinking & Dependency

A pattern where drinking becomes a daily habit, often leading to physical and psychological dependence to feel “normal” or cope with daily life.

Functional Alcoholism

Maintaining a semblance of a normal life (job, family) while privately struggling with alcohol dependence, hiding the true extent of the problem.

Alcohol as a Coping Mechanism

Using alcohol to manage stress, anxiety, trauma, or depression. This can quickly escalate from casual use to a dangerous dependency.

The National Impact of Alcohol Addiction

You are not alone. Alcohol use disorder is one of the most significant public health issues in the United States. Understanding the scale of the problem highlights the urgent need for compassionate and effective treatment.

Levels of Care for Alcohol Treatment

Recovery is a personal journey, which is why we offer multiple levels of care. From intensive, residential programs to flexible outpatient options, we can tailor a treatment plan that meets you where you are.

Detoxification

The crucial first step. Our partner facilities provide medically supervised detox to manage withdrawal symptoms safely, ensuring your body is clear of alcohol before therapy begins.

Inpatient/Residential Rehab

Provides 24/7 care in a structured, residential setting. This is ideal for those with severe AUD who need a fully immersive environment to focus solely on recovery without outside distractions.

Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

The best of both worlds. PHP offers intensive, daily therapy and medical support while allowing you to return home or to sober living in the evenings.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

A flexible yet structured option providing several hours of therapy per week. IOP is perfect for those transitioning from a higher level of care or who need to maintain work or school schedules.

Outpatient Program (OP)

Offers continued support with less time commitment, typically involving one therapy session per week to reinforce sober living skills and prevent relapse.

Therapy & Counseling

The core of all our programs. We use evidence-based therapies to address the root causes of addiction, not just the symptoms, ensuring a more durable recovery.
