Alcohol Addiction Treatment

• Alcohol abuse is a primary, chronic,
  progressive, and often fatal health problem for
  all of society, not just for the professional
  community. Alcohol use disorder has specific
  symptoms that can be fueled by unmanageable
  stress, work demands or poor relationships. If
  left untreated, alcohol use disorder can and will
  worsen. Like many other disorders, the symptoms
  of addiction can be temporarily stopped, but
  without entering an alcohol rehab program,
  significantly changing your lifestyle and
  continued recovery maintenance, relapse can
  occur.
• Positive Sobriety Institute (PSI) is one of the
  leading Illinois alcohol rehab and alcohol
  treatment centres in Chicago. We treat chemical
  dependency and alcohol use disorder as a brain
  disease, as well as take into account the many
  psychosocial factors that contribute to the
  disease.
