Alcohol addiction counseling in Marietta 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.

Alcohol addiction counseling from our therapists in Marietta, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of alcohol addiction counseling with our providers at Thriveworks in Marietta, 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.
Alcohol addiction is a complex problem. It can be hard to tell the difference between an alcohol abuser and an alcohol addict. Both the abuser and the addict will regularly drink in excess of the healthy limits. They key distinction, however, is control – an abuser will make a conscious choice to drink, the alcoholic on the other hand doesn’t have such a luxury. Alcoholics Anonymous describes alcohol addiction as a physical dependency on alcohol combined with a mental compulsion to consume it. Compulsion, not choice, is the cause whilst an addiction is present.
If you are suffering with an alcohol addition, reach out to Thriveworks Marietta. We are here to help.
There is a lot of confusing information surrounding health effects of alcohol consumption. Moderate consumption can be healthy or unhealthy depending on the media headline of the day. But the evidence is clear and consistent that excessive alcohol consumption has negative consequences – for alcohol addicts these effects are magnified. It increases the chances of developing serious diseases, including:
Despite the lifelong battle the recovery process begins with a simple concept: accepting that one has a problem, and making the choice to seek help. Once this acceptance has been achieved, the recovery process can begin—starting with detoxification, followed by rehabilitation and eventually achieving abstinence. There are a variety of methods and groups providing support for addicts and the importance of seeking help cannot be underestimated.
There are many different problems you will face during rehabilitation and a counseling method will help you navigate them. Here at Thriveworks Marietta, GA we believe that every client is an individual to be treated with meticulous care and respect throughout this process. We work together to develop a tailored treatment plan to put you on the road to recovery as soon as possible.
