Alcohol addiction doesn’t show up overnight — it creeps in slowly.

There’s no single “right” way to treat alcohol or drug problems. After 50 years in addiction medicine, the truth is clear: recovery must be personalized. Every individual has unique challenges — mental health, relationships, life transitions — and treatment should support the whole person, not force them into a one-size-fits-all model. If you’ve struggled with approaches that didn’t feel like they fit, you’re not alone. There are many paths to recovery, and the best one is the one that works for you.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and help is available.
