Alcoholism impacts the suffering individual in a number of ways but most specifically on the emotional, mental, and physical level. In some cases, there is a spiritual level that is affected as well when the addiction is preventing the individual from rekindling their faith and resuming their spiritual walk. However, alcoholism takes its toll on the family members, friends, and loved ones of the individual. They are also devastated by the person’s dependency on alcohol and are powerless to do anything about it.
In many cases, the individual must receive the professional help that only a long-term alcohol rehab can provide them with. However, when you mention the fact that they are in need of this type of addiction treatment and recovery program they may react negatively for a number of reasons. They are typically in denial but may also feel overwhelmed by the idea of entering one of these programs in order to overcome their dependency on alcohol. A long-term rehab program is usually the best option for the individual.
Long-term alcohol rehab is an in-patient or residential type of addiction treatment and recovery program. These programs typically last between 4 and 6 months, depending on the severity of the person’s dependency, compared to a short-term program that usually lasts between 14 and 28 days on average. Unfortunately, when an individual’s addiction is considered to be severe, the short-term program is only a drop in the bucket compared to what the person needs.
Most individuals entering long term alcohol rehab have chronic alcohol dependence or have had multiple relapses. As compared to out-patient or short term rehab, long tern alcohol rehab program ensures that the individual is away from the stressful situations and environs that might have contributed to the addiction. By staying within the comfortable home like ambience of a rehab center along with other individuals undergoing treatment, ensures that they are not alone in the struggle, provides moral support and encourages them to stay sober.
