Help for me · Alpine, Utah
You can seek an alcohol assessment even if you still perform well at work. Tell a qualified professional about the parts of your life that feel harder to manage, including drinking patterns, health, relationships, and what happens when you try to change. You do not have to wait for job loss or a public crisis.
Prepared by Alpine Recovery Lodge · October 18, 2026 · For adults and families
A productive workday can coexist with private worry about evenings, weekends, sleep, or family life. You may spend significant energy keeping everything looking normal. It can help to describe what maintaining that appearance costs you.
Instead of deciding whether the label “high-functioning” fits, focus on observable patterns and the changes you want. A professional assessment can address your concerns without requiring a self-diagnosis.
These are reflection questions, not a diagnostic test. Bring your answers to a qualified provider, including anything that makes stopping feel unsafe.
First ask what care can meet your needs safely. Then discuss scheduling and practical responsibilities. A program that fits your calendar still needs to fit your health needs.
If time away may be needed, gather information about your employer’s process from the appropriate workplace contact or a qualified adviser. Do not assume that a specific protection, payment, or accommodation applies to your situation.
For help preparing these conversations, read I need rehab but cannot leave my job.
Contact Alpine admissions to discuss adult program fit, assessment, and practical planning. Ask about residential treatment, PHP, and IOP based on your assessed needs.
You can review daily drinking concerns or fear of withdrawal if those situations also fit. Bring questions about insurance to the conversation.
You can still ask for help. An assessment should consider your whole life and health, not only whether colleagues have raised concerns.
No. You can seek an assessment when you are concerned. Ask a professional to help you understand the pattern and appropriate support.
Ask about current schedules and clinical recommendations. Do not assume a particular outpatient schedule is available or sufficient for your needs.
Call 911 for immediate danger or a medical emergency, including trouble breathing, inability to wake someone, or seizures. Do not wait for an admissions form or callback. If you may act on thoughts of harming yourself or cannot keep yourself safe, seek emergency care now.
Tell Alpine admissions what is happening and what you need help arranging. Ask about assessment, program fit, scheduling, and costs before making a decision.
Admission depends on individual assessment, availability, and applicable benefit or authorization requirements. This guide is educational and does not replace individualized medical or mental health care.
