school, or home

arrested for drinking while driving or for physically
hurting someone while drunk

while driving or operating machinery

problems that are caused or worsened by drinking

addiction and alcoholism, is a chronic disease.

or interpersonal problems

At Cove Center for Recovery, we approach alcoholism
or alcohol dependency as a medical condition and
our addiction treatment programs focuses on remission
through abstinence. The extended care addiction
treatment program at Cove Center for Recovery
is intended as an extension of a primary treatment
program or detoxification process.
We will assist the client in identifying and
addressing the underlying neurological, psychological
and spiritual factors that cause and maintain
alcoholism. Our overarching objective at Cove
Center for Recovery, Addiction Treatment Center,
is to enable our clients to embark on a journey
of self-sustainable recovery in order to minimize
or prevent the occurrence of relapse
