Personal Experience Treating Alcohol Addiction
“Throughout my 30 years of clinical work as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, I have treated thousands of individuals and families affected by alcohol use disorder. Diagnosing and treating comorbid medical problems caused by long-term alcohol use, like liver disease, diabetes, and malnutrition, is crucial to helping people recover. Addressing the family system to restore broken relationships and establish recovery-supportive home settings and lifestyles also makes a significant difference in outcomes. The millions of people living in long-term recovery from alcohol abuse are a testament to the potential to stop letting alcohol control your life. Our program offers the expertise and therapies to help people take the first step and stay the course.” — Jasmine Aranda, Chief Clinical Officer

What are the most common health effects of alcohol abuse?
Alcohol use disorder wreaks havoc on the body and brain. Alcohol affects organ function, including brain function, and may lead to persistent mental health problems as well as physical ones.
Liver Disease
Alcohol damages liver tissue and reduces the efficiency of the liver at removing waste from the body. Long-term alcohol use, and even occasional binge drinking, can harm the liver and produce fatty liver disease or cirrhosis. Assessing and improving liver function should be a focus of integrated alcohol abuse treatment.
Cognitive brain function
Alcohol directly impacts brain function and can reduce executive functioning. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to memory loss, confusion, and even nerve damage that can impact movement and mobility. Not only can these effects make it hard to function in daily life or hold a job, but they can be painful.
Pancreatitis
Excessive alcohol use can impair pancreas function, which increases the risk of developing diabetes.
Cancer Risks
Numerous studies link long-term alcohol use with cancer risks. Like many toxins, alcohol is a chemical that may damage cell reproduction, which can lead to the development of cancerous tissue. Mouth, throat, and esophageal cancers are a few common cancers associated with alcohol use disorder.
Heart damage
Long-term alcohol use can weaken the heart muscle and reduce its function. Heart disease is a risk of alcohol use.
Treating alcohol dependence should make the most of inpatient treatment.
Inpatient alcohol treatment is a serious time and cost investment for patients, families, supporters, and their care team. We believe it is crucial to make every inpatient treatment episode as effective as possible so that our clients do not require additional inpatient treatment stays in the future. With thorough assessment and diagnosis, adequate integrated treatment, and thoughtful planning of treatment during and after inpatient care, most individuals should be able to establish a recovery that can be sustained.
This is not to say that ongoing care is unnecessary. On the contrary, everyone who successfully completes inpatient residential treatment for alcohol use disorder should become in a support group of their choice, receive regular medical care, and may engage in lower levels of care to maintain recovery and stay healthy.
Alcohol addiction causes specific health problems that must be addressed during treatment.
People who use Medicaid sometimes face challenges that make it harder to enter and maintain recovery, so we offer services and education that can help.
According to Benefits.gov, Colorado adults who earn a low or very low income may qualify for Medicaid if they are pregnant, responsible for a child under 18, blind, have a disability, live with a family member with a disability, or are 65 or older.
People who utilize Medicaid sometimes need more success in treatment and remaining in recovery due to financial, family, or health situations. It may be harder for people who use Medicaid to take time off from work or childcare to engage in treatment. Reliable transportation and secure housing may not be a reality. Changing one’s home situation or lifestyle may make it more difficult to support recovery. Some individuals who use Medicaid may live far from recovery-supportive resources or ongoing care and may have limited access to a primary care provider.
Many of these challenges not only make it harder to achieve lasting recovery but can also be causes of substance use and mental health disorders. We understand how financial and family system issues impact people seeking recovery and offer specialized education, coaching, and ongoing care planning that improves the chances of treatment success for people using Medicaid.

Residential alcohol treatment psychotherapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and specialized trauma therapies like EMDR and somatic experiencing to address underlying or undiagnosed trauma.
Psychiatric Prescribing
Psychiatric medications are an ever-evolving toolkit that is helping more people maintain recovery and feel relief from mental health disorders. Medications prescribed and managed by experienced doctors and prescribers can help to reduce alcohol cravings as people establish recovery. Medications can also be used to control symptoms of mental and physical pain resulting from numerous conditions, which often cause people to self-medicate with alcohol. The goal of psychiatric medication in addiction treatment is to help individuals feel normal without the use of illicit substances and under the safe and monitored care of a qualified medical provider.
