Warning Signs

Signs of Alcohol Use Disorder

Alcohol use disorder ranges from mild to severe. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward getting help.

  • Drinking more or for longer than you intended
  • Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop drinking
  • Spending a lot of time obtaining, using, or recovering from alcohol
  • Craving alcohol when you’re not drinking
  • Failing to fulfill major responsibilities at work, school, or home
  • Continuing to drink despite social or relationship problems
  • Giving up important activities because of drinking
  • Drinking in physically hazardous situations (driving, swimming)
  • Tolerance — needing significantly more alcohol to feel the same effects
  • Withdrawal symptoms: shaking, sweating, anxiety, nausea, insomnia
  • Continuing to drink despite knowing it causes physical or psychological harm
  • Inability to stop despite a strong desire to quit
If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these signs, call us at (857) 312-1697.

For Families

How to Help a Loved One with Alcohol Addiction

Supporting someone through recovery is its own journey. Here’s where to start.

1

Educate Yourself About Addiction

Addiction is a chronic brain disease, not a moral failing. Understanding the science behind alcohol use disorder helps you respond with empathy rather than frustration.

2

Avoid Enabling Behaviors

Well-meaning actions like covering for a loved one’s drinking or providing financial support can unintentionally prolong the cycle. Learn to support without enabling.

3

Set Boundaries with Compassion

Healthy boundaries protect both you and your loved one. Communicate clearly what behaviors you will and won’t accept, and follow through consistently.

4

Explore Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly family education groups via Zoom plus individual family sessions. Healing the family system is essential to lasting recovery.

5

Take Care of Your Own Health

Your mental health matters too. Consider individual therapy, Al-Anon meetings, or support groups for families navigating a loved one’s addiction.

6

Learn About Codependency

Family systems often develop unhealthy patterns around addiction. Understanding codependency helps you break those patterns and build healthier relationships.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Call (857) 312-1697
When They Say No

What If They Refuse Treatment?

It’s common for someone struggling with alcohol addiction to resist help. Here’s how to navigate that.

Path 1
Consider a Professional Intervention
A trained interventionist can facilitate a structured conversation with your loved one. This process helps them understand the impact of their drinking in a supportive, non-confrontational environment.
Path 2
Use Motivational Approaches
Rather than ultimatums, use open-ended questions and reflective listening. Express concern without judgment: “I’ve noticed you seem less happy lately — what do you think about that?”
Path 3
Set Clear Boundaries
Boundaries are not punishments — they’re protections. Communicate what you’re willing to accept and follow through. Sometimes, experiencing natural consequences is what motivates change.
Path 4
Understand the Stages of Change
People move through pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Your loved one may not be ready today, but every honest conversation plants a seed for tomorrow.
Path 5
Know When to Call for Help
If your loved one is in immediate danger — severe withdrawal symptoms, suicidal thoughts, or alcohol poisoning — call 911. For non-emergency guidance, our admissions team is available to help even if your loved one isn’t ready.
