At-Home Alcoholism Treatment
Alcoholism Treatment That Moves the Point of Care From the Treatment Center to the Comfort and Privacy of Home

With the guidance and support of a full-time sober companion (we call them Certified Recovery Agents), individuals in recovery from alcohol addiction have the opportunity to sustain sobriety without disrupting their daily routine and responsibilities.

Alcohol Addiction Case Management
For complex cases of alcoholism, it often takes a team of professionals and a range of services to work toward sustainable sobriety. All of our case managers are licensed social workers with decades of experience with addiction recovery. They provide a single point of contact for all parties involved while prioritizing confidentiality.
Our approach offers the flexibility to bundle each of the above as a packaged concierge service, but we also provide them as standalone services, depending on participant needs and recovery objectives.
Frequent Questions About Alcoholism
These are some of the most common questions we hear regarding alcoholism:
Is Alcohol a Drug?
Yes, alcohol is a recreational drug, and its main active ingredient is ethanol. The consumption of alcohol plays an important social role in many cultures, and it is known for its stimulating and mind-altering effects. Alcohol is so widely available and consumed so commonly that many don’t consider it a drug because, unlike other substances, it doesn’t carry the same kind of stigma or social abhorrence. However, more than 88,000 Americans and over 3 million people globally die from alcohol-related causes every year.
What Are the Signs of Alcohol Addiction?
Not everyone who drinks is considered an “alcoholic.” Symptoms of alcohol dependence vary. It’s best to evaluate behavior if on more than one occasion there is a pattern of:
- Binging
- Drinking Alone
- Self-Medicating
- Experiencing Blackouts
- Excessive Drinking at Social Outings
When life is negatively impacted by alcohol on a consistent basis, it might be best to pause and examine the signs. If you or your loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms, our certified professionals are here to help:
- Erratic Behavior
- Frequent Hangovers
- Neglect of Personal Responsibilities
- Substantial Changes in Mood
- Inability to Control Alcohol Consumption
- Isolation
- Reoccurring Legal Troubles
- Health Issues
- Disorientation
- Emotionally Sensitive
- Anhedonia, or the Inability to Feel Pleasure
Another sign of alcohol abuse is experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal from alcohol can be fatal, so it’s imperative to conduct a medical detoxification under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Here are a few of the more common signs of alcohol withdrawal:
- Tremors
- Shaking
- Panic Attacks
- Restless Legs
- Irregular Heartbeat
- Excessive Sweating
- Seizures
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Loss of Appetite
- Extreme Anxiety
