Alcohol Use Disorder & Addiction Psychologists in Milford, Delaware

Alcohol use disorders are a category of conditions in which a person regularly consumes alcohol in a way that is compulsive and results in harmful consequences at least some of the time. Many people drink alcohol regularly without abusing it or becoming addicted. However, if you find that you are frequently consuming alcohol and it’s difficult to control or stop drinking despite adverse consequences – or if you consume alcohol in a way that interferes with your day-to-day life – it may be worth considering whether you’re facing an alcohol use disorder.

Other common indicators for alcohol use disorders include memory impairment (“blacking out”), physical or psychological withdrawal symptoms, lack of enjoyment while drinking, and/or having a high tolerance to alcohol (meaning that you need to drink more to feel the same effects that you once experienced from a smaller quantity).

Treatment for alcohol use disorders require specialized and knowledgeable therapeutic care, often for both the individual, as well as their family and loved ones. The following psychologists have a specialty in alcohol use and addiction, which often includes the use of harm reduction and motivational interviewing techniques. They can also help individuals who struggle with addiction understand the role of alcohol in their life and help connect individuals to local recovery communities and resources when needed.
