What is the Best Treatment for Alcohol Addiction?

The best treatment for alcohol addiction is the one that works. The recovery process for alcoholism is a lifetime commitment. There isn’t a quick fix and it involves daily care. For this reason, many people say alcohol addiction is never “cured.” Individuals who wish to overcome an alcohol abuse problem have a number of options. Which option to choose depends on each individual, and there are several treatments that may help end physical and emotional addiction to this powerful drug. 

Just as important as a specific treatment may be the individual’s desire to quit drinking. Without strong motivation, many people return to drinking because they don’t have sufficient willpower, support, or the readiness to abstain. When an alcoholic has the motivation to succeed, there are a number of treatments that have all been shown to be useful. 

A common initial treatment option for someone with an alcohol addiction is an outpatient or inpatient rehabilitation program. Inpatient rehabilitation program means quitting drinking in some sort of protected environment. Especially when people have been using alcohol for a long time, the withdrawal process can be physically dangerous and is best not undertaken alone. People recovering can undergo delirium tremens (DTs), which can be life threatening. Thus beginning treatment of alcohol addiction should involve finding a safe place like an alcohol detox center or a hospital so people can be closely monitored the first few days after quitting. Inpatient rehabilitation program can last anywhere from 30 days to a year.

Outpatient treatment is also an option for many alcohol abusers. Outpatient treatment centers are designed to provide abusers with a place to explore their destructive behavior. Many outpatient treatment centers provide anonymous group meetings, as well as other programs to help alcohol abusers overcome their issues. With outpatient treatment, individuals are not placed in a controlled environment and may be vulnerable to outside temptation during treatment. Typically, this type of treatment is ideal for individuals who have successfully completed an inpatient treatment program.

While Alcoholics Anonymous is peer-led, there are other support groups offering treatment for alcohol addiction, led by therapists, psychiatrists or drug and alcohol counselors. Counselors and therapists at treatment centers are trained to provide alcohol abusers with constructive ideas and alternatives to drinking. Another treatment for alcohol addiction is mental health therapy, where any mental illness, neuroses, or personality disorders can be addressed along with issues of alcoholism. For certain mental illnesses, having a psychiatrist may be vital too, since many alcoholics have used alcohol to cover conditions like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, and these are best treated with psychiatric medicines. A regular physician could also be of use because there are drugs available that cause illness if combined with alcohol, and some people find these helpful. 

Regardless of the type of support system, it’s helpful to get involved in at least one when getting sober. Sober communities can help someone struggle with alcohol addiction, deal with the challenges of sobriety in day-to-day life. Sober communities can also share relatable experiences and offer new, healthy friendships. And these communities make the person with an alcohol addiction accountable and provide a place to turn to if there is a relapse.

Лучшее лечение от алкогольной зависимости — это то, которое работает. Процесс выздоровления от алкоголизма является пожизненным обязательством. Это процесс не быстрый, и требует ежедневного внимания. По этой причине, многие люди говорят, что алкогольная зависимость никогда не излечивается до конца. У людей, которые хотят преодолеть проблему злоупотребления алкоголем, есть несколько вариантов. Какой вариант выбрать, зависит от каждого человека, и существует несколько методов лечения, которые могут помочь положить конец физической и эмоциональной зависимости от этого мощного наркотика.

Столь же важным, как и конкретное лечение, может быть и желание человека бросить пить. Без сильной мотивации многие люди снова начинают пить, потому что у них нет достаточной силы воли, поддержки или готовности воздержаться. Когда у алкоголика есть мотивация к успеху, существует целый ряд методов лечения, которые доказали свою полезность.

Smoking is not a healthy habit to have, to say the least. More than just being harmful to the smoker, long exposure to passive smoking affects the health of people around him. Not to mention the smell of smoke and the effect it has on your teeth and lungs, propelling the risk of lung cancer and teeth rot.
