Starting Alcohol addiction counseling

What is alcohol addiction counseling?

Alcohol addiction counseling in Kennesaw can help people manage their urges to consume alcohol. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their addiction, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as issues that their addiction may stem from, like trauma.

How does alcohol addiction counseling work?

Alcohol addiction counseling works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their addiction, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing alcohol addiction counseling can also help to prevent relapse.

Is alcohol addiction counseling conducted in person or online?

Alcohol addiction counseling from our therapists in Kennesaw, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does alcohol addiction counseling last?

The length of alcohol addiction counseling with our providers at Thriveworks in Kennesaw, GA depends on the individual’s needs and the extent and severity of their addiction, as well as the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in alcohol addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.

Therapy for Alcoholism in Kennesaw, GA—Therapists and Counselors

Many people have found therapy invaluable if they are having trouble regulating when, where, and how they drink. Counselors can assess whether a person’s alcohol use is healthy, harmful, or possibly dependent and then offer strategies that allow the person to gain more regulation over their drinking. Treatment for alcoholism at Thriveworks Kennesaw can help people assess their alcohol use and regain control over any unhealthy dependencies or abuses. Reach out today to get started.

Possible Red Flags for Alcoholism

Everyone, to some degree, minimizes their problems. Overcoming denial is difficult for anyone, and alcoholics are no different. There are always reasons for people’s behavior that may seem plausible at the time, but in reality, they cover over harmful behavior. While denial is understandable, the problem is that alcoholism is a dangerous illness. Left untreated, alcoholism and the harm it can cause may become more and more severe. The longer people wait to seek help, the longer they may be missing out on the benefits treatment for alcoholism may bring to their lives.

Seeking help from a therapist may be a good idea if you or someone you love has one or more of the following habits:

  • Expressing anger or annoyance at not being able to drink
  • Drinking while alone or in secret
  • Forming a ritual or habit that involves alcohol
  • Prioritizing drinking above work, family, hobbies, and friends
  • Cravings for alcohol
  • Drink more to experience the same buzz or good feelings
  • Legal, relational, monetary or professional problems that are linked to alcohol
  • Attempting to quit or reduce alcohol intake without success
  • Experiencing shakes, nausea, or sweating when trying to stop drinking or going too long without a drink
  • Schedule Alcoholism Therapy at Thriveworks Kennesaw

Schedule Alcoholism Therapy at Thriveworks Kennesaw

Think about the list of possible red flags for alcoholism. Do you see any of those behaviors within yourself or within someone you love?

Let's talk about Kelli Beechler for a second! This woman is an absolute God send to me! If you don’t believe in God, well then let's just say the universe or regardless of whatever it is you actually believe in, she has been an absolute gift in my life! This is a woman who NEVER makes you feel like you are just a number or a paycheck to her! I feel so thankful to know her! I can't fully express in words, how blessed I feel to have her in my life but I'm going to try just for the sake of someone else who might need to know her could be reading this. She is someone who’s beyond kind and compassionate and caring! She always meets me exactly where I am, and there has never been a single time that I don’t feel better after a session with her. My sessions change my week, my life, and also keep me sane when things go crazy! It brings me comfort in remembering no matter how hard things feel I get to see her and she will do whatever is in her power to help me help myself! She never fails to remind me who I am in my core, or what I’m trying to accomplish, or how to lead with a level head and not my emotions based on what I’ve told her I'm trying to accomplish. She helps me stay focused, determined, and accountable. Her soul is one of the best I’ve ever seen! I have been in and out of therapy the better half of my life and I'm about to be 28. I have had all kinds of people and teachings and nothing compares to the relationship I’ve developed with this woman in just a few short months. I don’t feel like she’s just a counselor, I feel like she’s my friend! Kelli shows up for me in a way no one else in my life does! I feel like I can tell her anything without fear. It's always a judgement free zone! I feel like she always comes from a place of love and of service in her heart! She’s always teaching me new ways and tricks and tips that help me. I am going through a great deal of things in my life right now and I’ve got to say I don’t really know what I would do without this woman and her support! The role she plays in my life is so significant. There is something so special about knowing you can count on someone, and not just count on someone but have great advice. There is something huge to say when a person is choosing to show up for you when you need them most, and I just want to express that I have literally never ever felt like I was just a way for her to make money. When I think about Kelli I can't help but want to express how beautiful her soul is. She is such a special person and anyone who knows her knows she’s a gift; the kind of pure magic! Don’t believe me? Set up a session with her and find out for yourself!
