Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment

Alcohol use disorder can involve drinking more than intended, difficulty cutting down, cravings, relationship or work problems related to alcohol, or continued drinking despite negative effects. Some people seek care because they want to stop drinking; others want help reducing harm or understanding their options.

Medtriq provides respectful medical treatment for alcohol use disorder for adults across Washington State.

Why a full assessment matters

Alcohol use can be connected to stress, sleep, anxiety, depression, trauma, pain, social pressure, medical concerns, or long-standing habits. A full assessment helps your provider understand what is happening before discussing a treatment plan.

Your provider may ask about current alcohol use, prior treatment, medical history, medications, liver-related considerations, opioid use, goals, and safety needs.

Treatment options

Medication may be considered when clinically appropriate. Options may include naltrexone or Vivitrol depending on the patient’s clinical situation.

The right treatment path depends on the person. Your provider will work to understand your situation before discussing options.
