Alcohol addiction is a health condition that occurs when you consume alcohol regularly and continue drinking even when it harms sleep, mood, work, or relationships.
Once addiction develops, quitting can become difficult. Over time, your body may need more alcohol to feel the same effect, which is called tolerance. Alcohol can also change behavior and lead to impulsive decisions.
When alcohol leaves your system, withdrawal symptoms can begin. These may include shaking, sweating, nausea, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, or seizures. Many people hide their use, miss responsibilities, or drink alone to avoid questions. It is important to seek help before alcohol use begins affecting your long-term health.
Alcohol addiction treatment can help when drinking affects health, safety, or daily functioning. Repeated binge episodes, rising tolerance, or withdrawal symptoms increase medical risk. Timely treatment can reduce harm, support stable routines, and address mental health symptoms while helping you plan safer steps during early recovery.
Addiction symptoms can look different for each person. Some signs appear physically, while others show up in habits and daily choices. Alcohol use may begin casually and become a daily pattern over time. If you notice several signs together, treatment can help you regain control and protect your health.
Alcohol disrupts normal sleep cycles. You may fall asleep quickly but wake after a few hours. Vivid dreams, morning fatigue, headaches, and poor focus can follow.
Drinking large amounts of alcohol can irritate the stomach lining, causing burning upper-abdominal pain, acidity, and nausea. Appetite may drop, and weight can fluctuate.
Alcohol can raise blood pressure over time. You may notice a pounding or irregular heartbeat, dizziness when standing, or shortness of breath after light activity.
Heavy drinking can inflame the liver and reduce its ability to process toxins. Symptoms may include right-sided abdominal discomfort, itchy skin, yellowing eyes, dark urine, or swelling in the legs and ankles.
Alcohol weakens immune response. You may get colds more often, infections may last longer, and cuts or bruises may heal more slowly.






Levels of care help match treatment to your current needs. Higher support can help during early sobriety and medical-risk periods, while lower intensity may fit as symptoms improve and routines stabilize. Our outpatient programs focus on medical monitoring, skill building, and relapse prevention. As progress builds, your schedule and care plan can adjust accordingly.
PHP offers professional medical support during daytime hours. You attend groups most weekdays and participate in individual sessions. Our team checks vital signs such as blood pressure and pulse while monitoring withdrawal symptoms like tremors, sweating, and nausea.
Our addiction doctor screens for anxiety, depression, and relapse risk at each visit. PHP can help after heavy daily drinking or a recent loss of control.
IIP adjusts care intensity around your medical needs. You work with the medical team to determine visit frequency and therapy focus. Some weeks may include extra individual visits if relapse risk rises, while hours may decrease as stability improves. Medical review remains part of each progress evaluation.
EOP holds sessions during evening hours, allowing you to attend group therapy after work. Staff members cover coping skills, craving control, and safer routines while the medical team tracks stress-related symptoms and alcohol triggers. EOP helps you maintain daytime responsibilities.
IOP provides mid-level care several days per week. Many participants attend 9 to 15 hours weekly. Group sessions focus on relapse prevention and behavior change, while individual therapy supports personal goals and medical review. Staff may request drug screenings when needed.
Outpatient rehab involves fewer weekly treatment hours than IOP. You attend scheduled therapy sessions and recovery groups while we monitor cravings, sleep, mood, and withdrawal-related symptoms. We also review blood pressure and other health concerns as needed. Care plans update based on progress and relapse risk.
Alcohol use can contribute to depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, grief, or bipolar symptoms. When these conditions go untreated, cravings may increase and disrupt sleep patterns.
Our dual diagnosis process addresses both concerns within one care plan. You work with a unified team so communication stays consistent. Medical screenings track symptoms, assess risk, and coordinate therapy goals. If medication management is appropriate, a doctor monitors response and side effects during follow-ups.
Treatment helps break harmful cycles and protect your health. At Foundations Recovery Center, care is tailored to your risks and recovery goals.
After treatment, we help you maintain routines and reduce relapse risk. Our medical team reviews warning signs, high-risk situations, and coping strategies before discharge. Aftercare may include individual therapy, group sessions, and peer recovery meetings in Encino.
