Get optional medication for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in Essex, VT today
If you’re interested in learning about and/or trying medication for alcohol use, reach out to us at (866) 679-0831—you can get started with medication today!
Many members choose not to take medication for AUD, while other members do take it and find that it helps them work toward their goals. We will never make you take medication—it’s totally up to you! If you think medication might be right for you, you can discuss your options with a clinician right away.
We offer these three medications for alcohol use disorder (AUD) to interested members:
- Naltrexone: This medication can help those who don’t necessarily wish to abstain from alcohol, but would like to reduce their alcohol intake.
- Acamprosate: This medication reduces cravings and urges to drink, which can be useful for people who would like to fully abstain from alcohol.
- Disulfiram: Like Acamprosate, this medication works best for those who want to abstain completely. It makes your body extra sensitive to alcohol, so you might experience unpleasant symptoms if you drink.
Extensive studies of these medications have established them as safe and effective treatment options for alcohol use. Members who use medication often find it beneficial when combined with our other resources.
Start taking optional medication for AUD today—call or text us ASAP at (866) 679-0831!
Frequently asked questions
We partner with community organizations so that we can provide our medication-assisted treatment services wherever they’re needed in Vermont. With fantastic partners and virtual options, no matter where you are in the state, you can receive our alcohol treatment services.
Our program takes the best parts of AA and builds upon them. We offer group sessions, like AA, but they are led by licensed professionals and are focused on your unique needs. You can also receive our treatment online or in person based on your preference. While our sessions aren’t geared toward a one-faith practice, we support members of all faiths and encourage each person to share what’s important to them.
First and foremost, we use the word alcoholism on our website to make sure folks looking online for treatment find us as an option! That said, we know there are several people out there who don’t relate to that word, so we use it alongside AUD and aim to use alcohol use disorder in place of alcoholism when possible.
We use alcohol use disorder instead of alcoholism because AUD includes varying degrees of alcohol use and is a diagnostic medical term, whereas “alcoholism” is a colloquial term that is often interpreted negatively or as referring to someone with a severe alcohol use problem. So, we use AUD to be inclusive and non-judgmental!
Absolutely not! We never ask our members to do anything they are not comfortable with. Many of our members opt out of medications and others elect to use them. Your recovery is up to you! We’re here to provide you with options so you can choose the treatment style that works best for you.
We offer same-day treatment with or without medications for alcoholism/AUD. Call/text to get started: (866) 679-0831.
First, you will meet with a medical professional to get started. After that, members take part in supportive counseling sessions. Depending on where you’re at in your recovery, this may look like weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly group therapy. Overall, what your treatment looks like is up to you–we’re just here to give you whatever support you need in the process.
Yes. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, Cigna, BCBS, most insurances, and offer a sliding fee scale as needed.
We may be biased, but we think it’s pretty great! We operate with a non-punitive harm reduction philosophy, which means that we offer compassion and flexibility to help you achieve your goals. We believe in creating options and a sense of belonging during recovery, instead of focusing on consequences. Plus, we integrate with other community organizations to make sure you can get our care no matter where you are.
