Am I an alcoholic?

Those suffering with AUD will often experience:

• Inability to set limits on drinking (how much or how long)
• Continued drinking despite being aware of it causing or worsening mental or physical health
• Craving a drink or having a strong desire to drink
• Multiple attempts to curb or cut back on drinking without success
• Drinking interferes with professional and/or social obligations
• Drinking, trying to get alcohol, or being hungover more often than not
• Drinking becomes more important than relationships
• Drinking or acquiring alcohol is the most important activity of the day
• Withdrawal symptoms occur when alcohol use is stopped or reduced

The above list is not inclusive of all signs and symptoms of alcohol use disorder. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact a professional as soon as possible.

How long is an alcohol treatment program?

The length of a treatment program for alcohol addiction, or alcoholism, will depend on the needs of the patient. Other factors such as history of drinking and alcohol abuse, co-occurring disorders, professional licensure or court mandates, among other conditions. The average inpatient or residential stay could be up to 30 days, with Extended Care or Long-Term rehab programs being longer depending on the patient’s need.

How much does alcohol rehab cost?

One of the most frequently asked question from those seeking treatment for alcoholism is about the cost of a rehab program. Paying for treatment may be less of a barrier than many think. Bradford’s programs are in-network with most insurance providers and plans such as Veterans Choice Program (VCP), TRICARE, and TennCare.

Paying for treatment out of pocket, or private pay, is another option. Many treatment facilities, like Bradford, offer flexible payment plans or loan programs.

In some regions, recovery non-profits and religious organizations or government programs may issue grants for treatment to those who qualify.
