The length of alcohol addiction counseling with our providers at Thriveworks in Abingdon, VA depends on the individual’s needs and the extent and severity of their addiction, as well as the problems that might stem from it.

Alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the US. Alcohol addiction is clearly a very dangerous condition and is one of the primary causes of lifestyle-related deaths in the US.
These huge numbers are a direct result of the impact that alcohol addiction has on the development of serious diseases such as:
As a result, alcohol addicts have a life expectancy that is 10-12 years below the national average. For alcohol addicts even the process of quitting alcohol itself can be dangerous – alcohol withdrawal syndrome can often cause serious illness and, in extreme cases, lead to death.
The focus of any treatment for alcohol addiction is achieving and maintaining abstinence and sobriety. However, this is often a long road and always starts with a simple yet deceptively hard to achieve concept – accepting that one has an addiction. Once this point has been achieved, it is always advisable to attend a structured rehabilitation process, much like the service that Thriveworks Bristol Addiction Counseling provides.
Here at Thriveworks Bristol, VA we have experienced counselors that will guide you through the rehabilitation process and help you on your road to sustained sobriety.
