Treatment for alcohol use disorder can vary, depending on a patient’s needs. Treatment may involve a brief intervention, individual or group counseling, an outpatient program, or a residential inpatient stay. Working to stop alcohol use to improve quality of life is the main treatment goal. A health care professional and counselor will work with a patient to develop an appropriate treatment plan. Along with behavioral counseling, the goal is to develop a plan that considers how alcohol use impacts an individual’s life including their mental, physical, social, and financial health. A counselor will help an individual set and track progress towards desired goals and outcomes as well as assist the individual in planning for and achieving long term maintenance care and success.
