Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a medical condition, and treatment is available. With the right support, it’s possible to regain control, restore your health, and build a life that doesn’t rely on drinking to get through the day. At Lotus Recovery in Wilmington, Delaware, we provide comprehensive alcohol addiction treatment.
Our substance use disorder treatment programs include an intensive outpatient program (IOP), an outpatient program (OP), medication assisted treatment (MAT) when appropriate, evidence-based individual therapies, group therapy, and supportive aftercare resources.
Alcohol problems don’t always look the same. Some people keep jobs and relationships together for a while. Others see obvious consequences right away. Here are common signs—shared without shame or judgment:
If you see yourself here—even a little—it’s worth talking with a professional. “High-functioning” patterns are still risky and often progress over time.

Effective treatment blends medical care, counseling, skills, and support. At Lotus Recovery, your plan is individualized and may include:
An intensive outpatient program offers more structure than regular outpatient. In behavioral healthcare, an IOP is often a step down from a more structured and demanding level of care, like residential treatment. However, it can also be the starting point for a person’s journey of recovery. An IOP includes:
An outpatient program is often a step-down from more intensive levels of care, like an IOP or residential treatment. It offers stability and ongoing therapy to help you maintain recovery.
MAT is often used during the detoxification stage to help lessen the effects of withdrawal. Medically-supervised detox is essential in many cases, as the effects of alcohol withdrawal can be severe.
Vivitrol can be used to help relieve withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings. Vivitrol is the brand name for an injectable version of naltrexone. It is used for treating alcohol and opioid dependency.
Medication alone is not enough, however. MAT is used in conjunction with evidence-based therapies and supportive resources.
Lotus Recovery uses numerous evidence-based therapies and holistic approaches for residents of Wilmington, DE, and surrounding communities. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
Recovery doesn’t stop when treatment ends—it shifts. At Lotus Recovery in Wilmington, we start aftercare planning early so you leave with a simple, written plan: who you’ll see, what you’ll practice, and when you’ll check in. We tailor it to your work, family, and health needs.
Aftercare matters because healing continues for months. The brain is rebalance-ing, sleep and mood are settling, and everyday stress can still trigger urges. Regular follow-ups add accountability, catch slips early, and keep skills sharp that are used for managing cravings, setting boundaries, and caring for your body.
We connect you to practical help such as medical and mental health referrals, family education, employment or housing resources, alumni and peer support groups. Remember, you’re not alone.
Many people worry about “forever.” We meet you where you are and talk honestly about your goals. For some, abstinence is the safest and simplest path. Others begin with harm-reduction steps while we build skills and stability. We’ll help you choose an approach that matches your health history, risks, and priorities, and we’ll revisit that plan as you progress.
Alcohol problems tend to progress, but they’re highly treatable. Getting help sooner can prevent health complications, protect relationships and work, and make change easier. You don’t have to hit a “rock bottom.” If drinking is taking up too much space in your life, that’s enough reason to reach out.
We understand addiction, and more importantly, we understand how to treat it. At Lotus Recovery in Wilmington, Delaware, we meet each person where they are in their treatment and recovery journey. Our approach includes:
We start with a thorough evaluation of your health history, withdrawal risks, mental health, medications, and goals. Together, we pick the safest starting level of care.
Your schedule matters. IOP and OP sessions are designed to fit real life—work, school, caregiving—and include options for daytime or evening participation.
We address sleep, nutrition, pain, stress, and relationships. If you’re using alcohol to manage anxiety, trauma, or depression, we’ll treat those issues too.
As cravings drop and life stabilizes, we step you down in care, adjust medications if needed, and keep building skills for long-term recovery.
You’ll leave with a clear plan and people to reach out to. You’re not doing this alone.
It varies. Many people spend several weeks in IOP, then transition to OP and aftercare. Your timeline is personalized and reviewed often.
Usually, yes. We’ll help you choose a schedule that fits your job and family responsibilities.
Relapse can happen, and it’s not a failure. We’ll help you learn from it, reinforce your plan, and continue forward.
No. Medications like naltrexone don’t create a “high.” They reduce cravings and support brain recovery while you build new habits and are always accompanied by therapy.
A quiet, honest conversation can be the start of real change. Let Lotus Recovery lead you to a life of sobriety and enhanced well-being.
