Alcoholism treatment crucial to long-term sobriety success
Long-term sobriety achieved with effective alcohlism treatment
For an individual addicted to alcohol, life is a series of mundane, repetitive days filled with the consumption of alcohol. Individuals who are afflicted with alcohol addiction have tried many times, usually unsuccessfully, to simply stop drinking on their own. Their lack of success isn’t connected to lack of will power. Most chronic alcohol abusers need professional help in order to achieve lifelong sobriety.
The key to successful treatment is to locate a program whose success rates are above average and one that takes an individualized approach to treatment. Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has been offering that exact type of alcoholism treatment for more than twelve years.
“We pride ourselves on offering an alcoholism treatment program that has a higher than average success rate,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside. “Our treatment program takes an individualized approach, meaning we create a plan that is specific to each person. Some of the aspects of our treatment plans are tried and true therapies such as 12-step programs, group therapy and individual therapy. In addition to these we’ve developed a more holistic approach—we address all the different facets of an individual and how their addiction has affected their lives. Our alcoholism treatment offers physical, emotional, social, familial, and psychological support, depending on the needs of the individual. Our Mind, Body, Spirit program utilizes methods such as Tai Chi and meditation in combination with outdoor physical activities such as a labyrinth, hiking paths, a low ropes course and hiking in order to help a person reconnect those three aspects of themselves that often become disconnected when caught in any type of addiction: Mind, Body, Spirit. This holistic alcohol treatment model is empirically sound and has resulted in Mountainside having helped thousands of individuals have a greater chance at a lifetime free of drug and alcohol addictions.”
For more than 12 years, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering an individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment program.
Mountainside’s treatment team is committed to providing quality, compassionate care to each individual in a tranquil, peaceful environment conducive to optimal recovery. The program won national attention and resulted in Mountainside being invited to Washington to meet with the White House Drug Czar, John P. Walters, who wanted to learn more about the innovative program offered at Mountainside.
In addition to its licensed and certified counselors and social workers, Mountainside provides medical services through an on-staff Nurse Practitioner and a Registered Nurse with specializations in drug addiction and alcohol treatment. Psychiatric services are available when needed.
