Alcohol use disorder

Get to zero alcohol — and stay there

If you’re tired of drinking and want to stop for good, Keystone Psychiatry offers focused outpatient treatment for alcohol use disorder. Structured, practical, and built around relapse prevention.

What we treat

If any of this sounds like where you are, you’re the person this program is for.

Drinking patterns

Daily drinking, binge patterns, or tolerance that keeps climbing.

Loss of control

Cravings, drinking more than you meant to, and repeated failed attempts to cut back.

Relapse cycles

Patterns tied to stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, or trauma — treated alongside the drinking, not separately.

Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous

If you have a history of severe withdrawal, seizures, delirium tremens, or heavy daily use, you may need a medically supervised detox before starting outpatient maintenance and relapse prevention care. We assess withdrawal risk up front and build the plan around safety.

Don’t stop heavy daily drinking abruptly on your own. If you’re already in withdrawal with shaking, confusion, hallucinations, or a seizure, that’s a medical emergency — call 911. Otherwise call us at 570-818-2853 and we’ll tell you what’s safe.

How we help you stop and stay stopped

Medication is not one size fits all. Options are chosen based on your drinking pattern, medical history, lab work when needed, and how well you tolerate side effects.

Often our first choice

Disulfiram Antabuse

An aversion-based option that reinforces “no drinking” when it’s appropriate for you. In our experience this approach produces the strongest results.

Naltrexone

Reduces cravings and blunts the reward effect of alcohol, so drinking stops doing what it used to do.

Acamprosate Campral

Supports abstinence and reduces post-acute withdrawal symptoms in the months after you stop.

Additional medication strategies may be considered case by case, based on other symptoms you’re dealing with and on safety.

Getting started

What to bring to your first visit

  • Your typical weekly drinking pattern, when your last drink was, and any prior quit attempts
  • Your medication list and any relevant medical history
  • Recent labs or primary care notes, if you have them

Straight answers only

Be honest about the numbers. We’re not here to judge how much you drink — we need the real figure to assess withdrawal risk and pick the right medication. Underreporting is the one thing that makes this less safe.
