DrinkChoice™

DrinkChoice is a brief educational program which will help you to eliminate drinking problems. You will learn proven techniques to cut down your drinking to a safe level, or to cut it out completely. The choice is yours. To ensure the flexibility, privacy and anonymity of our clients, this service is delivered in person or on the telephone in the privacy of your home or office. Participants work individually with a licensed therapist one hour weekly for six weeks to complete the program.

In a recent two year research follow up, 70% of participants who completed a brief intervention identical to DrinkChoice continued to drink within moderate drinking guidelines or had chosen abstinence.

Why offer a program like this?

There are six good reasons:

1. Many people who develop alcohol problems sort them out on their own, through trial and error. This program can make it easier for you to quit or cut down by learning about methods that have worked for others.

2. People who overcome drinking problems often cut down rather than quit. Most treatment programs require that you quit drinking entirely. This program gives you the choice.

3. People often don't know what is meant by moderate drinking. This program gives you information on drinking patterns that can help you to avoid alcohol-related problems.

4. Many problem drinkers don't seek help simply because treatment programs do not provide the options they want to use to deal with their drinking. Our program provides those options.

5. It is important to offer an alternative that motivates you or a loved one to get into action.

6. Participants learn rapidly if moderate drinking is appropriate for them or if they should quit alcohol altogether. They do not have to continue drinking for years until you "hit a bottom".
