Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Alcohol Addiction Can Take Over—But You Can Take Back Control
Alcohol addiction often starts subtly—social drinking turns into compulsive or daily drinking, and before you know it, stopping isn’t an option. If you feel like you need alcohol to function, to unwind, or just to feel something, you’re not alone. At Titan Behavioral Health, we’ve helped countless people in Las Vegas and Henderson County reclaim their lives from alcohol addiction.
There’s life after booze and we’re here to help you get there.
What Is Alcohol Addiction?
Alcohol Addiction is the physical and psychological dependence on alcohol. When you drink alcohol, it boosts dopamine—this is the “feel-good” chemical that makes you happy and relaxed. At the same time, alcohol slows down another chemical called glutamate, which is responsible for keeping you alert and focused.
So when you drink:
- Dopamine (happiness) goes UP → You feel good!
- Glutamate (alertness) goes DOWN → You feel relaxed or sleepy.
This is why alcohol can make people feel happy, less anxious, and more social at first.
Your brain adapts—it notices when you’re drinking a lot and tries to keep things balanced. If alcohol keeps slowing things down, your brain starts working harder to speed things up so you don’t feel too sluggish.
So, over time:
- Your brain makes less dopamine on its own (less natural happiness).
- Your brain increases glutamate to keep you awake and alert.
The drop in dopamine means you need more alcohol to feel good (this is called tolerance). When you stop drinking, glutamate keeps your brain in overdrive, which causes withdrawal symptoms (like shaking, anxiety, and trouble sleeping).
This creates a vicious cycle—drinking more to chase the original feeling, only to experience worse withdrawal symptoms between drinking sessions. Over time, alcohol stops feeling like a choice and starts feeling like a necessity. Left untreated, this cycle of alcoholism can cause chronic organ failure, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (also known as wetbrain,) and death.
How We Treat Alcohol Addiction
At Titan, we understand that alcohol addiction affects every part of a person’s life—and recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why our approach is individualized, evidence-based, and supportive every step of the way. Here in Las Vegas, we provide a safe, structured treatment plan that includes:
Step 1: Medically Supervised Alcohol Detox
Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. Our 24/7 medical detox program ensures you withdraw safely and as comfortably as possible. Symptoms like seizures, hallucinations, and delirium tremens (DTs) are managed with expert medical care. We provide medications when necessary to ease withdrawal symptoms.
Step 2: Residential Treatment – Therapy, Coping Skills, and Relapse Prevention
Once detox is complete, residential care helps you understand addiction, learn coping skills, and prevent relapse. Our program includes:
- One-on-one therapy (CBT, DBT) to address underlying emotional and mental health struggles.
- Group therapy and peer support for encouragement.
- Holistic treatments (if offered) like mindfulness, exercise, and nutrition.
Step 3: Long-Term Recovery Planning – Support Beyond Inpatient Care
Recovery doesn’t stop when you leave residential treatment—we help you build a plan for long-term success. Options may include:
- Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) – Intensive treatment while allowing more independence.
- Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) – Continued therapy and support while returning to daily life.
- Sober Living – A structured, alcohol-free environment for ongoing stability.
- 12-Step or Community-Based Support – Long-term peer accountability.
Alcohol addiction recovery isn’t just about quitting drinking—it’s about building a healthier, more fulfilling life. We’ll help you every step of the way.

Life After Detox: The Next Steps in Your Recovery
Detox is just the first step. Without continued treatment, triggers and cravings can quickly lead back to drinking. The real work of recovery happens in residential care, where therapy helps you address the emotions and behaviors fueling addiction. In residential care, clinical programming, addresses the underlying issues at the core of your addiction. This is the healing that makes a sober life worth living.
When you leave our facility after residential treatment, we’ll set you up with a recovery plan that might include:
