At Harmony Grove Behavioral Health, we provide compassionate and effective treatment for individuals struggling with alcohol addiction. Located in Houston, TX, our alcohol rehab centers and evidence-based treatment programs are designed to address both your individual needs in recovery and the root causes of addiction while empowering you to build a healthy, fulfilling future outside the addiction treatment center.

Understanding Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol addiction, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a disease that affects millions of people and impacts every part of daily life, from your or your loved one’s physical health to mental well-being and important relationships. However, recovery and healing from substance abuse are always possible. There is nobody who is “too addicted” to achieve a healthy future, even if previous attempts at detoxification or healing have been unsuccessful.

Identifying the signs of alcohol addiction is crucial. While each person will have their own experiences with AUD, there are some common symptoms to be aware of. These signs of alcohol addiction include:

• Difficulty controlling alcohol consumption, such as drinking more often or being unable to stop when they do drink
• Neglecting responsibilities due to drinking, or being unable to tend to responsibilities even as a result of persistent hangovers
• Increase in secretive behavior, such as hiding drinks, locking doors, or having an inconsistent daily schedule
• Withdrawal symptoms when not drinking
• Continued use despite negative consequences, especially legal ramifications or concerns from family members and loved ones

Alcohol addiction is a disease that affects not just individuals, but the entire family. However, the family can also be an integral part of substance abuse treatment, providing an important avenue of support for those overcoming alcohol addiction. Harmony Grove is prepared to work with you and your family to create a supportive environment both at the treatment facility and at home, providing you with the education, information, and tools you need to confront the effects of addiction as a family. Family counseling, ongoing family resources about addiction and recovery, and support groups for families are all available.

Comprehensive Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Alcohol addiction affects all parts of daily life, and your effective outpatient treatment should be just as comprehensive. At Harmony Grove, we utilize a combination of personalized, evidence-based treatment services and holistic healing options to address your unique needs in outpatient care.
