Is alcoholism an incurable disease or is it something that can be overcome? For millions of people this has been a topic that has been debated for years. Many people have been told that their alcoholism is something that they will always have and that by putting their faith in a higher power that they will be their only chance of recovery. Though even with this apathetic form of therapy, they are still told that relapse is part of recovery and that they will probably have slip ups on their way.
The truth is thousands of people have overcome their addiction to alcohol and never had a relapse since. Staying in the present and staying focused about life and goals is a much better approach. Staying stuck in the past and waking up in the morning thinking you “made it another day” is not the best approach because basically you are saying you are lucky for making it. Also being told that you are powerless and no control is certainly a pretty depressing thing. If I was told that I would consider returning back to drinking alcohol because of such a bleak outlook.
The most important thing is finding an alcohol rehab that will work. Not just trying to locate a place to sober up or detox. An effective alcohol rehabilitation center will not only help a person overcome their addiction medically but also physically, mentally, and emotionally. Generally this will require a long term treatment center that offers a medical detox, cognitive counseling and life skills therapy. A therapeutic environment that provides a healthy lifestyle has also found to be very effective. A holistic doctor that offers vitamin and mineral therapy, a cellular cleansing process, which cleanses the body of alcohol and drug metabolites to eliminate physical cravings for the alcohol and an exercise program with a physical trainer are healthy lifestyle changes vital to successful recovery. Once a family has found a program that specializes in alcoholism that next step is making sure the addicted individual stays and completes the ENTIRE program. Alcohol rehabilitation is not always the easiest thing to do. Most patients have to confront things in their life that they have never wanted to look at. Then they have to start taking responsibility for all of the transgressions they have committed against their family, friends, and jobs. This is when the real healing begins. This is when the family will really notice a change in attitude.
Don’t get frustrated if your loved one who is addicted to alcohol does not ask for help. If they had the ability to help themselves than they would be able to quit. That is why as a family you must come together as one team to make sure that get the proper alcohol addiction treatment to give this person their life back. If after several attempts of talking with the person to enter in a residential alcohol treatment center with no luck then taking a look at an alcohol intervention would be the next step. Regardless, remember never to give up on your loved one who has an addiction problem with alcohol.
