Post Malone’s Battle With Alcohol 


Every one of Post Malone’s rap albums has been something that has been highly anticipated. Post Malone’s Twelve Carat Toothache is no different. This is one of the rap albums that quickly found a place on the Billboard hot list shortly after its release earlier in June of 2022. Although this is not his debut album, many of his fans found that they were able to greatly relate to the way this album sounds due to the fact that Post Malone revealed a deeper level of struggle with substance abuse

Post Malone’s New Album ‘Twelve Carat Toothache’

In his fourth studio album, Malone collaborates with a variety of other artists. including Roddy Ricch, Doja Cat, Fleet Foxes, Kid Laroi, and many more. In many ways, it came across to fans that this studio album was different from his other albums in the sense that it was more personal. Although his guest features from The Weeknd, Doja Cat, and others are all noticeable, Malone’s fourth album greatly highlights his personal struggles with addiction which is something that many of his fans would be able to relate to as well. In many ways, Malone’s fourth album is a personal reflection of aspects of his life that he went to with the hopes that his struggles are something that will be able to help his fans in their own tribulations. 

Post Malone’s ‘Love/Hate Letter to Alcohol’

One of the most notable songs on his fourth studio album is titled “Love/Hate Letter to Alcohol”. While other artists such as Roddy Ricch, The Weeknd Doja Cat, and others make up some great features and can adjust the way this album sounds, “Love/Hate Letter to Alcohol” is a track that features the indie folk band Fleet Foxes. This song made its first debut on Instagram live. During this Instagram live session, Post told fans in a unique way that alcohol is something that he would use to drown his sorrows. Although the lead single for the album would be “I Like You (A Happier Song), Post wanted to make sure that this happier song did not overshadow the serious struggles with substance abuse. 

What Does Alcoholism Look Like?

The fact that Malone revealed the extent of this serious addiction is something that all of his fans should stand up and take notice of. Post told about the fact that he would use alcohol as a way to help him to work through some of the inner conflicts and issues that he was personally struggling with. For many people who struggle with addiction, the main reason that they turn to substance abuse is due to suffering from mental health issues. Post Malone, himself, has admitted that he has struggled with periods of depression. Although the reality is that alcoholism is something that impacts every person differently, the reality is that in order for you to truly overcome your alcohol addiction, it’s imperative that you address the root causes of your addiction through a structured treatment program. Although this is something that can be uncomfortable at times, it will ensure that you’re able to properly heal from your substance abuse and avoids the risk of falling back into your addictive ways going forward. The leading way that you will overcome your addiction issues is through participating in different forms of addiction therapy. Here are just a few examples of the different types of addiction therapy that you can expect to participate in during your time in treatment: 

  • Individual therapy 

Individual therapy is something that can help you to feel more of a personal connection with your addiction treatment team. For instance, there may be different events in your life that you simply don’t feel comfortable sharing in a group type setting. However, it’s imperative to the overall recovery that you work through these events so that they do not negatively impact your sobriety in the future. Individual therapy will help you to do just that. During individual therapy, you will have a personal and private interaction with your treatment team who will help you to work through these experiences. Also, you will have the opportunity to talk to your treatment team about the direction that your recovery is going in and make any changes to your recovery journey. 

  • Group therapy 

Group therapy, in many ways, is similar to attending a Narcotics Anonymous or an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. During group therapy, you will interact with other people that are working through their own treatment journey. These sessions will help you to learn that you’re not the only person in the world who is struggling with addiction. In turn, there is a high probability that you will be able to develop your own system of support which is something that will become critical in your overall recovery journey. 

  • Family therapy 

Family therapy is something that can help you to put relationships back together with the loved ones in your life. In many cases, your relationships with your family is something that may have been negatively impacted by addiction. When you come to a point in your recovery, you may feel as though you have the tools you need to begin to restore these relationships. When you take part in family therapy, you and your loved ones will do so in a safe and controlled environment which will help everyone to feel more comfortable. These restored relationships can help you to continue to move forward in your sobriety and your understanding of addiction recovery.

Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder at Muse in Los Angeles

If you’re struggling with an addiction to alcohol, there are several steps that you can take to be able to address your substance abuse issue. The first step in this process is to get in touch with an addiction treatment facility such as Muse Treatment Center who will provide you with the support and care that you need during this stage of your recovery. In many cases, a client will need to begin their recovery journey in an alcohol detox Los Angeles program. Regardless of whether you’re struggling with an addiction to drugs or alcohol and depending on the severity of your addiction, it’s likely that you may experience some type of withdrawal symptoms. 

Withdrawal symptoms can make it all but impossible for you to properly care for yourself. Withdrawal symptoms will typically tend to manifest within the first few hours from the last time that you consumed your substance of choice. While it may seem appealing to try to stay at home during a time that you are sick or uncomfortable, the reality is that if you don’t have the expert support and care that you need during this time in your recovery, it’s possible that you could suffer from some fatal consequences. If you decide to partner with Muse Treatment Center, you can take comfort in the fact that our recovery team will be there for you and with you every step of the way. 

Once you’re done with detox, you will be in a better place both physically and psychologically to begin to detail the contributing factors of your addiction. An important decision that you will need to make is whether you’re going to commit to working through an inpatient or an outpatient addiction treatment program. The main difference between an inpatient and an outpatient program is your physical location during the time that you’re in treatment. If you decide to commit to an inpatient program, you will have the opportunity to live on the campus of our treatment facility which gives you the chance to remove yourself from the people, places, and things around you that may be negatively impacting your recovery. 

Outpatient treatment, on the other hand, is well-suited for a person who may not be able to commit to an inpatient program due to personal or professional responsibilities. Outpatient treatment is more flexible and will not limit your ability to provide for yourself and your family. Your recovery treatment team will continuously check in with you and make any changes to your recovery program as needed. Keep in mind that outpatient therapy is something that you can take advantage of once you’re done with inpatient treatment so that you can continue on in your sobriety journey. 

At Muse Treatment Center, our recovery team is committed to providing you with the tools and resources that you need to overcome your substance abuse issues once and for all. With years of experience in the industry, you can rest assured that our addiction experts will be there for you and with you throughout the course of your recovery. For more information about our detox and addiction treatment programs, we encourage you to get in touch with us at (800) 426-1818. You can rest assured that we will begin working immediately to ensure that you have the treatment in place that you need to overcome your addiction once and for all. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you to achieve the sobriety you have always wanted.
