THE CMW APPROACH
This is your journey and our treatment approach is to meet you where you are at, motivate you, and help you find long-term solutions for alcohol abuse. Most people who have been successful in recovery have discovered purpose in their lives and reignited passions that disappeared when alcohol became problematic. Purpose, passion, and connection are almost always lost in alcohol abuse and can be found again with the right treatment approach. Alcohol Recovery can be achieved through abstinence, moderate alcohol use, or The Sinclair Method, which can be used to moderate or become abstinent. Check out our treatment options to see what's right for you.

Most people are familiar with alcohol’s effects on the brain resulting in slurred speech, disinhibition, depression of the respiratory system, decreased motor skills, loss of coordination, and sleepiness to name a few. What isn’t as widely known is that drinking alcohol also causes a release of endorphins which are responsible for the “buzz,” the pleasurable feeling that comes from alcohol use. The "buzz” and the impairment from alcohol are two different effects and they are processed through two different physiological brain pathways. Alcohol drinkers are seeking pleasure, not loss of balance or slurred speech. Without the pleasure effect of alcohol, there would not be the issues that exist with alcohol abuse. Once the brain recognizes that alcohol is an “answer” to when you are feeling sad, angry, or stressed, it reinforces the desire to drink and eventually thinks that alcohol is a necessity.
