Focused, outpatient support for alcohol use disorder, from the first honest step to a durable, sober life.
Alcohol is woven into so much of ordinary life that a problem can grow for years before anyone says it out loud. You do not have to hit a crisis to deserve help.
We provide outpatient alcohol counseling for adults across Minneapolis, whether you want to stop completely or first understand how much alcohol is really costing you.
Our care is clinical and grace-centered. We use the treatments with the strongest evidence, and we never lead with shame. Change is built on honesty and support, not judgment.
From the first quiet worry to long-term dependence, we meet you where you are with practical, judgment-free care.
Drinking that has crept up over time, or that you rely on to unwind, sleep, or cope.
Explore levels of care ›Losing control once you start, and the regret, risk, and lost time that follow.
Request an assessment ›You have tried to slow down or quit on your own, and it has not stuck.
Find the right level of support ›Using alcohol to manage a mood or a memory, so the real problem never eases.
Mental health counseling ›The distance, worry, and conflict that drinking puts between you and your family.
Family therapy ›If your body has come to depend on alcohol, we coordinate with medical providers so you can taper safely.
Medically supported care ›We combine the treatments with the strongest research base with a genuinely supportive relationship, so change actually holds.
See the triggers, thoughts, and routines that drive your drinking, and build concrete skills to change them.
No lectures. We help you sort out your own reasons to change and move at a pace that is real for you.
Name your high-risk moments and build a real plan, so a slip does not turn into a full return.
Medications like naltrexone and acamprosate help many people. We coordinate with prescribers when they fit your goals.
The shame around drinking hides a hopeful truth: treatment works, and it does not require losing everything first. Many people improve dramatically, and they do it without pausing their whole life to go away somewhere.
No one can promise a specific outcome, and everyone is different. But people who get real, structured support are far more likely to get well than those who keep trying to manage it alone.
Tell us what is going on. No judgment and no pressure, just a real conversation about your options.
We understand your history and health, then recommend the right starting level of care.
Individual and group counseling on an outpatient schedule that fits work, home, and family.
Relapse prevention and secure telehealth, so support does not stop between sessions.
If alcohol is causing problems and you keep drinking anyway, or you have tried to cut back and could not, that is worth a conversation. You do not need to fit a label to reach out.
For some people, cutting back is a realistic goal; for others, stopping is safer. We help you set a goal that fits your health and history, without forcing a script on you.
It can be. Medications like naltrexone and acamprosate help many people reduce cravings. We coordinate with medical providers when medication fits your goals.
We work with many major Minnesota plans. Verify your coverage here and we will confirm your benefits privately, with no obligation.
Reach out today and a counselor who understands alcohol use will follow up. Everything you share is confidential.
