Alcohol Addiction Treatment

For Young Adults in Arizona

Drinking is not just a normal part of young adult life according to federal surveys, nearly one in three young adults engages in binge drinking regularly, and more than one in six meets the criteria for alcohol use disorder. While it may start as a way to cope with stress, socialize, or unwind, casual drinking can quickly spiral into a pattern of misuse or dependence—with all of the physical, emotional, and social consequences that it brings. If you or someone you love is struggling with alcohol abuse and its side effects, we can help.

Alcohol Abuse and Addiction in Young Adults

Alcohol is one of the most commonly used substances worldwide; but just because it’s legal, doesn’t mean it’s harmless. Highly addictive and destructive when misused, alcohol can ruin lives just as quickly as other drugs. It is a chronic disease that affects the brain’s reward system, making individuals unable to control their drinking despite knowing the negative consequences. This loss of control can lead to physical health problems, broken relationships, financial difficulties, mental health struggles, and more.

Signs of Alcohol Abuse and Addiction

How can you tell when a young adult’s drinking crosses the line? Symptoms of alcohol addiction include:

Increased Tolerance: Needing more alcohol to feel the same effects.
Withdrawal Symptoms: Experiencing anxiety, shakiness, nausea, sweating, or insomnia when not drinking.
Unsuccessful Attempts to Cut Back or Quit: Wanting to reduce alcohol consumption but being unable to do so.
Neglecting Responsibilities: Letting important personal, work, or school responsibilities slide due to drinking.
Continued Use Despite Consequences: Continuing to drink even when it causes obvious problems in relationships, work, or health.

If you or a loved one is showing these signs, it may be time to seek professional help.

Why Treatment for Alcohol Addiction is Necessary

Quitting alcohol "cold turkey" is dangerous. In fact, alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs to detox from alone. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, including delirium tremens, seizures, heart attack, coma, and even death. For those who are physically dependent on alcohol, medical detox under the care of professionals is essential. We can refer clients to trusted detox facilities, ensuring the utmost safety and comfort during the process. From there, clients can transition to our comprehensive, multifaceted treatment program. Our entire team of addiction specialists, therapists, and medical professionals works with each client to address the root causes of alcohol abuse, helping build the tools and strategies necessary for long-term recovery.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP is appropriate for individuals who have completed residential treatment or who need a more flexible treatment option. Here, we offer a supportive environment with opportunities for exercising more autonomy outside of treatment hours.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers a higher level of care than IOP — but still with the flexibility of free time outside of treatment. PHP participants spend most of their day at our facility, receiving intensive therapeutic care and support, but return to a recovery-supportive environment at night. PHP is often used as a step down from residential treatment, or as a first step in building a new life.
