Understanding Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction, often called alcohol use disorder, isn’t just about drinking too much—it’s about losing control over when, how much, or how often you drink. It can develop gradually, starting with social drinking or coping with stress, and evolve into something that feels impossible to manage without help.
The effects are wide-reaching. Physically, alcohol can harm the liver, heart, and brain. Mentally, it may worsen anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Socially, it strains families, friendships, and careers. At Reprieve Recovery, we understand that addiction doesn’t happen in isolation, and neither should treatment. We work with each client to explore both the physical and emotional aspects of their relationship with alcohol.
We Accept Most Major Insurance Plans
Understanding insurance for treatment isn’t always straightforward, and we do our best to make the process easier. Our team has experience working directly with insurance providers and can guide you through what your plan may cover.
Different Paths To Care
No single program works for everyone. That’s why our treatment options in West Palm Beach are flexible, ranging from highly structured support to more independent care.
Medical Detox
For many, detox is the first step. Alcohol withdrawal can range from mild discomfort to life-threatening complications like seizures or delirium tremens. In a medically supervised detox, clients are monitored around the clock, often with medication to ease symptoms and keep the process safe. This stage clears the body of alcohol and prepares clients for the deeper therapeutic work that follows.
Residential Treatment
Residential programs give clients time and space away from the stressors of everyday life. Living onsite, individuals follow a daily schedule that includes therapy, group work, educational sessions, and wellness activities. This structure helps establish healthy routines while offering round-the-clock support. Residential care can also be especially valuable for people with co-occurring mental health concerns who benefit from integrated treatment.
Partial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program, or PHP, combines intensive daily care with the ability to return home at night. This option provides structure, accountability, and therapy while giving clients the chance to practice recovery skills in real-life settings. PHP is often a natural transition after residential treatment but can also serve as a starting point for those who need significant support but have stable home environments.
Intensive Outpatient Program
IOP offers multiple therapy sessions each week but allows participants to continue living at home, working, or attending school. The program emphasizes coping skills, relapse prevention, and peer support. For many, IOP provides the balance they need—strong clinical support without pausing daily responsibilities.
Outpatient Counseling
Outpatient counseling offers flexibility and consistency for those further along in recovery. Typically involving one or two sessions per week, this level of care helps maintain progress, address challenges as they come up, and prevent relapse.
Aftercare
Treatment doesn’t stop once a program ends. In fact, maintaining recovery often depends on the supports someone has in place afterward. Aftercare may include ongoing therapy, participation in peer support groups, or structured relapse prevention plans. At Reprieve, we help clients build aftercare strategies that are realistic, sustainable, and customized to their lives.
Family Involvement
Alcohol addiction doesn’t only affect the person who drinks—it impacts families and close relationships. That’s why family involvement is often a key part of treatment. Family therapy sessions provide a safe space to rebuild trust, improve communication, and work through the strain addiction has caused. Loved ones also learn how to support recovery without enabling harmful behaviors. By involving families, we strengthen the support system that clients rely on once they return home.

Life in Recovery
Recovery is not just about stopping alcohol use—it’s about creating a new way of living. For many clients, this means developing healthier coping skills, finding joy in sober activities, and rediscovering relationships that may have been lost along the way. At Reprieve Recovery, we encourage clients to explore wellness practices like mindfulness, exercise, or creative expression, all of which can make sober living more fulfilling.
The path is not always easy, but with continued support, many people find that life in recovery is richer and more meaningful than they imagined.
