Alcohol Treatment
Start same day
You’re drinking every night. You can’t stop at one or two. You’ve told yourself you’d cut back, and by Friday you’re right back where you started.
That’s not weakness. Alcohol rewires your brain over time. You need more than willpower to change it.
If you’re looking for alcohol treatment in Chicago, we can help. Naltrexone to reduce cravings. Therapy to address why you drink. Same-day appointments. No judgment.
Get help today.
Naltrexone reduces cravings so you can focus on recovery.
You’re more than your relationship with alcohol. If drinking is disrupting your life, that’s reason enough to get help.
Calling is the hardest part. After that, it gets easier.
A real person answers, not a recording. They'll ask a few questions and answer all of yours about our programs.
We verify your coverage in about 5 minutes. You'll know exactly what's covered before you come in.
Your first visit takes about 3 hours. You'll meet with a medical provider who will assess your drinking history, talk about what's going on, and make a plan together.
You start treatment. If Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, you can start the same day. Therapy gets scheduled. You walk out with a plan.
You might be nervous about taking medication for your alcohol addiction. Here’s the truth.
Alcohol changes your brain chemistry over time. That’s not weakness, that’s biology. Medications like Naltrexone reduce cravings so you’re not constantly fighting the urge to drink.
Naltrexone works by blocking the “reward” you get from alcohol. You take it as a daily pill. Our medical providers will help you decide if it’s right for you.
You won’t feel sedated. You won’t feel “off.” Most people feel more like themselves than they have in years.
And if you don’t want medication? That’s your choice. But most people find it helps.

It can be. Unlike most other substances, alcohol withdrawal can cause serious medical complications including seizures. If you're a heavy drinker, don't try to quit cold turkey. Call us first so we can assess your situation and make sure you're safe.
Physical withdrawal symptoms typically peak around 48-72 hours and improve within a week. Cravings take longer to manage, which is why therapy and sometimes medication are so important. Most people feel significantly better within the first month.
No. AA works for some people, but it's not the only path. We offer evidence-based treatment with therapy and medication. If you want to try AA too, we can help you find meetings. But it's not required.

For most people with alcohol addiction, moderation doesn't work long-term. But that's a conversation to have with your treatment team. We focus on what works for you, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You won't be kicked out. We're here to help you understand your use and work toward your goals. We're not going anywhere.
