To add an opinion, abstinence is the only way to stop drinking. Clinics always seemed like a waste of time to me. If you want to quit drinking, stop. That is how I quit
smoking.
If you cannot, then you are addicted. Simple. So prioritize your life, get a good reason to stop, and focus on that. A clinic just seems like baby stepping towards the question "Why do you drink/smoke/overeat/etc." Answer that question and go from there.
