Alcohol Addiction Treatment in New York, NY

A private psychiatry practice located in NYC, Manhattan and the Upper East Side

You suffer from alcohol addiction, but don’t know where to turn for help. You’ve tried to stop on your own only to go back to drinking? How about the many promises to yourself and others to stop, only to pick up again… Family, significant others, and friends have started to distrust you.

Alcoholism is a disease with deadly potential that affects up to 5 to 7 percent of the population. Not everyone who drinks will develop a problem. But, when an alcohol addiction problem takes hold, it can be too much for a person to handle on their own. I’m sure you have made promises to drink less. Maybe, you have said only on the weekends, or you’ve tried swapping out beer or wine for hard liquor. You may have even given self-help meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) a try but, couldn’t stick with it.

Symptoms of Alcohol Addiction
Do You Have Alcoholism?

woman drinking. Alcoholism treatment in New York, NY can help you fight cravings. Contact an alcohol counselor for support with alcohol treatment in New York, NY and other services.

Here is a simple test you can take on your own that’s accurate and sensitive in detecting issues with alcohol. The CAGE Questionnaire is a 4 question screening test. It gives a good idea if there is a problem. And, it only takes a few minutes to take and score.

Have you ever tried to CUT back on your alcohol use?
Do you get ANNOYED when people ask you about your drinking?
Ever feel GUILTY about your alcohol use?
Ever need an EYE OPENER in the morning due to a hangover from the day before?

If you answered YES to any 1 or 2 questions, some alcohol abuse needs to be addressed. If you answered YES to 3 or 4 questions, there is a high likelihood there is a significant alcohol problem. You should address the issue head-on with alcohol treatment. Delaying or ignoring the problem won’t make it go away.

Alcoholism comes with consequences

Regular alcohol consumption over the years can cause significant medical and physical damage. Some of these effects can be very serious. They include:

Damage to memory centers in the brain
Heart damage, including the risk of heart attacks and sudden death
Risk of stroke
Fatigue, mental fogginess
Deadly withdrawal seizures and delirium tremens (DTs)

Yet, alcohol addiction can cause more than physical symptoms. Other consequences are psychological and interpersonal, including:

Failing to meet obligations at work, school, or at home
Exacerbating or causing other psychiatric issues. This may include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, ADHD, and PTSD
Engaging in dangerous, high-risk activities
A damaged relationship with children
The psychological damage of children growing up with alcoholic parent(s)

Achieve Ongoing Sobriety, Repair Relationships, and Decrease Anxiety with Alcohol Treatment

I’ve been both a general psychiatrist and addiction psychiatrist for over 25 years. My practice specializes in helping people with alcoholism and other addictions. This includes those with co-occurring disorders (Dual Diagnosis) such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders. I know that most people starting treatment do not know what to expect. Or, they failed in the past on their own, or with other less experienced treatment providers.

I’ve helped those scared, frustrated, and confused about their alcohol addiction. I understand the pain you are going through. I’ve helped men, women, and students overcome their addictions for good.

My treatment approach is comprehensive

My treatment approach is a comprehensive one. I account for the psychological, biological, and social relationship aspects of alcoholism treatment. We will dive into all issues related to alcohol use, appropriate screening, and treating psychiatric issues. Together, we will work on repairing damaged relationships and trust-building. If alcohol cravings are a problem, we’ll discuss the medication options available.

Backed by over 25 years of experience

My approach has been fine-tuned from over 25 years of experience. During this time, I have treated all types of addiction issues. I’ve also held many clinical appointments as an assistant professor of psychiatry at area medical schools. In addition, I’ve also achieved the honor and distinction of Fellowship status in the American Psychiatric Association (FAPA) and American Society of Addiction Medicine (FASAM).

I see alcoholism as a “family disease” as it can have a major effect on those around the addicted. If this affects your relationships, we will place intense focus on this. If right for your case, we can also involve significant others for support outside of our sessions.
