We are going to reveal to you the secrets of a simple and effective strategy. It will help to cope with alcoholism, to bring a person back to a full life, where there is no room for alcohol. The main condition of our recommendations is their implementation.
Alcoholism has become a global problem that claims thousands of lives a year. A person does not notice how they use more and more each day. Relatives try to persuade the patient to seek treatment, but, as a rule, they do not know how to help an alcoholic to stop drinking. Experienced specialists work in our center, they choose the therapy taking into account many individual factors.
Why emotional stability of loved ones is important
Alcoholism leads to a degradation of the personality, a loss of connection with society. Most drug addicts don't consider themselves sick, they promise they will stop drinking if they want to. A person loses the sense of duty towards his family and his society. Treatments are persuaded, threats are ignored or lead to aggression.
When dealing with an addict, you, as a parent or loved one, need to be emotionally stable. If you are depressed, nervous, aggressive, you can hardly help an alcoholic with anything. We always strongly recommend that addicts start with themselves. Take care of your condition, try to pull yourself together, control your emotions.
On which methods not worth wasting your time
When loved ones fail to persuade a patient to give up alcohol, they often resort to ineffective treatment out of desperation. Parents turn to psychics, conspiratorial grandmothers, healers, who have become very popular. They promise to get rid of the disease in one sitting, without understanding what changes are occurring in the patient's body due to the action of ethanol. For services, "specialists" take a lot of money.
Meanwhile, alcoholism causes not only physical addiction, but also mental addiction. It requires complex long-term treatment. It will not be possible to get rid of it in one sitting - the craving for alcohol runs deep in the head.
Traditional medicines do not cure addiction. They give the same effect as using drug therapy to cleanse the body. Such methods can only be seen as a way to prevent excessive alcohol consumption.
Coding has become a popular technique. This is the administration of drugs or the effect on the patient's subconscious. Many drug addicts have undergone this procedure, but the statisticsare disappointing: only 1% of alcoholics have started to lead sober lives.They realized the illness and had motivation, that is, the effect of the coding came from their own desire to get rid of alcoholism.
Conversation, motivation addict
People with alcoholism don't think alcohol is a problem. They do not go to doctors, do not react to the words of their relatives. Most often, tears, threats do not work on a person. Mental addiction changes thinking, attitudes towards people. Patients believe they are healthy, they don't need to stop drinking.
In order for a person to accept complex treatment, motivation is necessary - intervention. You may be encouraged to seek therapy at a family council. It is not necessary to yell at the patient, to accuse him of drinking alcohol. It is important that he can understand:
- you have to live by certain rules so as not to lose the favor of your loved ones;
- cannot be manipulated, parents deceived;
- If you accept therapy, your loved ones will be taken care of until your full recovery.
An alcoholic must understand that if he continues to drink he will have to face all problems face to face. In the event of deception, relatives will no longer sponsor, cover, no longer try to help, create a comfortable environment for drinking.
Comprehensive treatment of alcoholism
The most effective way to get rid of addiction is progressive therapy. Thanks to complex treatment with the participation of narcologists, psychologists, psychotherapists, tens of thousands of people were able to overcome the disease, return to their old life and rebuild their families. The therapy includes 3 main stages: detoxification, rehabilitation, social adaptation.
Detoxification
When consuming alcohol, toxic decomposition products of ethyl alcohol accumulate in the blood. They poison the body, disrupt the work of all organs and systems. For cleansing, detoxification is carried out. It is also necessary to get out of the binge, relieve withdrawal symptoms.
Cleans using infusion therapy, hardware techniques. The method of detoxification depends on the duration of use, the degree of intoxication, concomitant diseases and the general condition of the patient. Drippers often include:
- saline solutions; vitamins
- ;
- sedatives; hepatoprotectors
- ;
- diuretics;
- preparations for the normalization of the psycho-emotional background, support for the work of the heart and blood vessels.
After the procedure, the person gets rid of the physical pain, but the psychological dependence remains, so further therapy (rehabilitation) is needed.
At the request of the patient, we include one of the coding methods in the complex processing. It is not a "magic wand" that cures disease. It helps the patient to contain the cravings while he is in rehabilitation, to learn to live without addiction.
Rehabilitation
A person is sent to a rehabilitation center to recover. When choosing a facility, it is important to consider what recovery programs the clinic uses, if it has records for the treatment of drug addicts. Many organizations in Russia offer their own methods of therapy. We use effective methods of rehabilitation, we are allowed to perform medical activities.
Doctors select recovery programs individually. The most popular are 12 Steps, Daytop, Therapeutic Community. These are effective methods that have been helping to get rid of severe alcoholism for over 50 years. They are used all over the world.
The length of stay in the center is approximately 4-6 months (only after completing the full course can the result be guaranteed). According to statistics, the percentage of recoveries decreases with treatment of less than 5 months. During rehabilitation, doctors:
- "reprogram" the patient;
- transform thought;
- helps to find new meaning in life;
- learns to live without alcohol.
At this point there is an opportunity to realize the mistakes of a past life, to ask forgiveness from loved ones. It is very important to understand that alcoholism is a problem to be treated.
During the rehabilitation period, we provide assistance not only to drug addicts, but also to relatives, because alcoholism is a problem for the whole family.
Social adaptation
After returning from the center, an equally important recovery process begins. A person continues to work on himself - a period of social adjustment passes. At the center, the patient is limited by the outside world and the problems, but when he returns home he has a fear complex.
One of them is the fear of society. This is linked to the fact that within the establishment, the patient communicated only with doctors and people treated for alcoholism. After his rehabilitation, he returns to his familiar environment, where he used to drink alcohol. Fear arises that he will return to addiction, and that makes sense because the person is home again. Psychologists believe that after returning it is necessary to continue to attend individual or group sessions.
Meetings are usually held 2-3 times a week. The group consists of 3 to 5 people in therapy. Social adjustment takes about 2 months. In some patients, this period lasts up to 6-7 months. During the period of social adjustment, it is extremely important to attend meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, based on the principles of the “12 Step” program. If a person does not feel safe, fears a breakdown, they can attend sessions every day.
