Alternative to traditional “all-or-nothing” 12-step approaches
We provide private, totally confidential alcohol abuse treatment for people concerned about their drinking who want to either stop drinking completely (at least for a while) or see whether they can reliably moderate their drinking within safer limits. We offer flexible individualized care, an empowering alternative to standard “one size fits all” addiction treatment programs.
Not everyone with an alcohol problem is an alcoholic
Without question, the safest solution for people with serious drinking problems is to abstain from alcohol completely. However, not everyone who drinks too much is an alcoholic. In fact, it is estimated that there are at least four times as many problem drinkers as alcoholics in the U.S. today. And studies show that many people with less severe alcohol problems can learn how to moderate their drinking instead of giving it up forever.
Find out if alcohol moderation can work for you
Moderation or controlled drinking strategies are not intended for alcoholics and others with severe drinking problems. For many drinkers, however, a professionally guided attempt at moderation is often the safest and most effective way for problem drinkers to see for themselves whether moderation is realistic and achievable. This website describes private treatment services for people with mild to moderate drinking problems whose goal is to reduce their alcohol consumption and keep it within safer limits. Our companion website, www.RecoveryOptions.us, describes our treatment services for individuals with more serious substance abuse problems who want to abstain completely from alcohol and other drugs.
Alcohol abuse treatment designed for busy, high-functioning adults
Located in midtown Manhattan and Princeton NJ, our treatment services are geared toward high-functioning adults with demanding schedules and responsibilities who want professional help that is discreet and totally confidential. Our clients include physicians, attorneys, business executives, entertainers, and others competent adults. We offer flexible appointment times (including day, evening, and weekend hours) to minimize interference with work and other responsibilities.
