If you're willing to admit that you have an alcohol problem, then the next step is to get help. But not just any help. To truly break the bonds of alcohol, many people need more than daily, weekly or monthly meetings and willpower. For more and more people who want to kick the habit, alcohol rehab is the only way to break the cycle of alcohol dependence.
Alcohol rehab helps you overcome your physical and psychological addictions to alcohol. There are three steps to the process:
1. Detox
2. Counseling
3. Aftercare
Alcohol Detox: The hardest part can be easy with help.
No residential alcohol rehab program can be successful until you're ready to truly, finally stop drinking. We know, you've tried it on your own. You've gone one, two days, maybe even a week without taking a drink but you always went back. That's because you didn't have anyone supervising you until you overcame the urge to drink.
These are not symptoms that you want to try to handle alone:
- Depression and anxiety
- Sharp mood swings
- Sweats or chills
- Relapse into alcohol use
- Irritability
- Seizures or blackouts
In a supervised alcohol rehab program, your urges are supervised. Your mind is given other things to think about. Your total health is considered. And you eventually beat the symptoms. Counseling: The core of healing
A large part of defeating your need to drink is to understand why you drink. By acquiring the answer to those questions, you can work with a counselor or therapist to recognize what triggers your need to drink. Counseling usually takes two forms:
Individual counseling: Private, one-on-one therapy with an addiction treatment counselor. These sessions allow you to examine what issues in your life are responsible for your alcohol problem. In doing so, you can develop solutions to use for the rest of your life.
Group counseling. When recovering from alcohol abuse, it's good to know that there are other people in the same boat with you Group sessions allow you to meet with other recovering addicts. By sharing stories and experiences, you gain support from one another. This helps to defeat the feelings of isolation and desperation that so many alcoholics have.
Aftercare -Don't be left alone.
Once you graduate from alcohol rehab, you want to know that your counselors have your back. Returning to the outside world on your own is not going to be easy. In fact, it can be hellish. The factors for relapse are always there:
Temptation. The lure of hanging with your old drinking buddies is strong.
Stress and distraction. Work or school can get stressful. As you try to catch up with missed work and a tight schedule, the urge to start drinking again can be high.
The feeling that you're "going it alone." People who have never been through alcohol rehab have no idea what you're going through. They don't understand. That's why it's important to stay in contact with people who do. Aftercare helps you get through those moments of doubt.
