Alcohol use can start as a way to relax, cope, or connect — but over time, it can begin to take a toll on your health, relationships, and daily life. At The Summit Counseling Center, we provide compassionate, confidential support for individuals who are concerned about their drinking. Whether you’re trying to cut back, questioning your relationship with alcohol, or seeking long-term recovery, we’re here to help.
Is Alcohol Affecting Your Life?
You may benefit from alcohol use counseling if you:
- Feel like you need alcohol to manage stress, anxiety, or emotions
- Have trouble cutting back or stopping, even when you want to
- Use alcohol to escape or numb difficult thoughts or situations
- Notice your drinking is affecting your physical or mental health
- Experience relationship or work issues related to your alcohol use
- Want support in maintaining sobriety or navigating recovery
