The FreedomFromAlcohol™ Method

The FreedomFromAlcohol Method™ is a drinking modification and recovery program designed to help you control your excessive drinking or abstain from alcohol altogether. Your choice of which is determined by an evaluation by myself, Michael Pearlman M.D. the founder of the FreedomFromAlcohol Method™ of recovery. It is based on my own experiences with alcohol in combination with my 25 years as a board certified psychologist treating alcohol addiction.

I have helped hundreds of people successfully overcome their excessive drinking habits and craving for alcohol by using the FreedomFromAlcohol Method™. I treat many of my clients with FDA approved medications such as naltrexone, Campral (acamprosate), baclofen, Topomax (topiramate) and others.

This is the first step in your journey back to health.

The medications in concert with my personal consultative coaching combine to give you the support you need to transform your life. The FreedomFromAlcohol Method™ of alcohol treatment is your means of getting back the life you deserve and actually having the kind of life you've always wanted. I can help you achieve that with this program.

Through honest self assessment and discussion we develop a framework for your revitalization that we work on together. I have a personal understanding of what you are going through and I will be with you from the beginning to the end of your program and beyond if necessary. There are three integral parts of my program.

Three Integrated Components

The FreedomFromAlcohol Method™ is based on three core components --- Evaluation and Treatment, Pattern Identification and Life Design.

Evaluation and Treatment

The first phase of the FreedomFromAlcohol Method™ starts with a thorough assessment of where you are currently in your drinking situation. We will then discuss a customized treatment method for you so you fully understand how the medication protocols and concurrent coaching sessions work.

Pattern Identification

The second phase of the FreedomFromAlcohol Method™ will assist you in identifying those situations, issues and stressors in your life that seem to seem to lead to your excessive drinking. When you begin to recognize what compels you to drink you then open a gateway to understanding why you have this inclination to drink, making it easier to bring about healing and personal well being.

Life Design

Part three of the FreedomFromAlcohol Method™ focuses on creating a "blue print" or "life design" for you. A major part of my program is helping you to envision how different your life would be if things were the way you really wanted them to be. As you become healthier and stronger, you will begin to feel revitalized and this is the best possible time to realize new personal goals and achieve them. We work together to help you attain these aspirations.
