Facing Alcohol Addiction
Personal issues and social pressures lead people to look for ways to cope. Some people choose alcohol to escape. As time goes on, it takes more alcohol to achieve the same effect, and addiction takes over a person’s life, threatening everything they have, personally and professionally. Even if the addict wishes to stop drinking, it can be hard to know what treatment will work for a specific individual, as all people don’t respond the same to treatment methods. Another key factor is treatment accessibility; this encompasses knowing about what treatment options are available and also finding a way to make alcohol treatment a priority while keeping on top of everything else in one’s life.
Alcohol treatment programs like Fusion Recovery’s have helped thousands of people in New York overcome their addiction and regain control of their lives. Outpatient treatment with Fusion Recovery helps people overcome negative thoughts and daily stresses that can lead to addiction so they can focus on their loved ones, careers, and relationships.
Understanding Treatment Methods and Our Outpatient Approach
Alcoholism is an addiction that’s different from other drug addictions because alcohol is a legal drug. People can be seen plainly in public using it every day. Our perceptions about alcohol use may make us not realize the damage this drug can cause. Among American citizens, alcohol use disorder is by far the most prevalent form of substance abuse. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that more people aged 12 and up have consumed alcohol in the past year than all other drugs or tobacco products.
Since alcohol can be a common way to escape from one’s problems and since it is often accepted in society, it is a drug that can unfortunately be easily acquired and abused.
So, if you are looking for treatment for alcohol use disorder, where do you turn? Going over the different kinds of treatment is a good place to start.
Is there a ‘right’ way to do this? Do people always go straight to inpatient or outpatient rehab?
Consider the many types of treatment approaches as a continuum. Inpatient treatment, in which a person resides at a facility for a set period until treatment is finished, and outpatient rehabilitation is not always an option for some patients; in other words, they may not have a choice, depending on their situations. According to their treatment plan, they may begin at the inpatient level and gradually progress to less restrictive settings. Individuals seen in an outpatient environment may occasionally be transferred to an inpatient facility for further intensive treatment. And some people may participate in outpatient rehab for their entire treatment.
The benefits of outpatient rehabilitation lie in its flexibility. You can focus on achieving sobriety and immediately apply what you learn in counseling and treatment to your daily life. Outpatient treatment helps you develop the skills you need instead of using drinking as a way to escape or cope.
While building skills you can use daily is important, the larger picture is a key aspect of our rehab work. The future without alcohol dependency may seem scary and almost impossible (while it is the goal recovering people desire). The skills and network you build in outpatient rehab are an essential support system to help make that future a positive reality.
Fusion Recovery offers outpatient alcohol rehab that you can access with one phone call: 1.866.360.9867.
How Long Does Outpatient Alcohol Rehab Take?
Outpatient alcohol treatment programs usually last three months, though this can vary. Outpatient treatment is available for you to continue for as long as you feel the need for it, even though a higher level of care may sometimes be required. People at any stage of their recovery can benefit from the therapy and support groups that are a part of these programs.
Therapy can help you work through your emotions and identify and avoid relapse triggers, even after alcohol cravings have diminished. As a result, outpatient rehab can last for months or even years if you choose to use it as an ongoing part of your recovery. Our licensed therapists at Fusion Recovery are problem-focused and goal-oriented as they assist you in gaining an understanding of your mental health, co-occurring disorders, and the addiction itself. We offer supportive individual and group addiction therapy to help you heal and focus on recovery. Proven, evidence-based therapy helps you accept yourself and your experiences.

Individual Counseling Services
With individual counseling, you can understand who you truly are and transform your life.
Individual counseling is one of the pillars of Fusion Recovery’s outpatient rehab process. These one-on-one therapy sessions help you heal the wounds that led to your addiction and move toward recovery. For individuals battling dependency or substance use disorders, there are numerous advantages to engaging in individual therapy for addiction. Addiction therapy can help with recovery, and it may work best when combined with medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Therapy will teach you how to manage relationships, emotions, inner conflicts, and mindfulness to live a healthy, balanced life.
As part of a personalized treatment plan, individual therapy helps you recognize self-defeating thoughts and strong emotions that often lead to addiction. The more you understand your behavior and learn to manage your emotions, the more likely you are to overcome addiction and recover.
Group Counseling and Support
Group counseling is another key pillar in Fusion Recovery’s program. With peer support, we share experiences, so a community is built that helps people heal from addiction. Group therapy can help people build relationships and understand addiction. The recovery journeys of others may inspire your own. This gives you different perspectives on yourself, and your situation and improves problem-solving.
Support and connection are valuable in group therapy for substance use disorders. You may be nervous about opening up in addiction group therapy, but we are here to help those dealing with alcohol addiction recover. Group therapy can help you feel less alone and help you confront your addiction by hearing about others’ lives and experiences.
Fusion Recovery is dedicated to keeping information private. Our licensed therapists run group therapy sessions and are required to honor confidentiality. Group members are also expected to maintain confidentiality, although it is not necessarily guaranteed. That’s why we constantly strive for group unity.
