We will tell you the secrets of a simple and effective strategy. It will help to overcome alcoholism and bring a person back to a full life where there is no place for alcohol. The main condition of our recommendations is their implementation.
Alcoholism has become a global problem that kills thousands of people every year. A person does not realize that he uses more every day. Relatives try to persuade the patient to seek treatment, but as a rule, do not know how to help an alcoholic to stop drinking. Our center employs experienced specialists who choose therapy taking into account many individual factors.
Why is the emotional stability of relatives important
Alcoholism leads to the degradation of the individual, the loss of contact with society. Most addicts do not consider themselves ill and promise to quit drinking if they wish. Man loses his sense of duty to his family and society. Treatments are persuasive, threats are ignored, or cause aggression.
When building a relationship with an addict, you need to be emotionally stable as a relative or loved one. If you are depressed, irritable, aggressive, you can hardly help an alcoholic with anything. We always recommend people living with an addiction to start with themselves. Pay attention to your situation, try to pull yourself together, control your emotions.
Which methods are not worth wasting your time
When relatives are unable to persuade a patient to give up alcohol, they often resort to ineffective treatment out of desperation. Relatives turn to very popular psychics, conspiratorial grandmothers, healers. They promise to get rid of the disease in one session without understanding what changes have taken place in the patient's body under the influence of ethanol. "Specialists" demand a lot of money for services.
At this time, alcoholism causes not only physical but also mental dependence. This requires long-term complex treatment. It will not be possible to get rid of it in one session - the desire for alcohol sits deep in the head.
Traditional medicine does not cure addiction. They have the same effect as drug treatment to cleanse the body. Such methods can only be considered as a means to prevent excessive drinking.
Coding has become a popular technique. It consists of the administration of a drug or its effect on the patient's subconscious. Many addicts have gone through this procedure, but the statisticsare disappointing: only 1% of alcoholics began to lead a sober lifestyle.They understood the disease and were motivated, that is, the effect of coding came from their desire to get rid of alcoholism.
Conversation, addictive motivation
People with alcoholism don't think alcohol is a problem. They do not go to doctors and do not react to the words of their relatives. Often tears and threats do not work on a person. Mental addiction changes thinking and attitudes towards people. Patients believe they are healthy and do not need to give up drinking.
A person needs motivation to agree to a complex treatment - intervention. Therapy can be encouraged at a family gathering. There is no need to shout at the patient or accuse him of drinking alcohol. It is important that he understands:
- You must follow certain rules in order not to lose the grace of your loved ones;
- cannot be manipulated, relatives are deceived;
- If you receive therapy, your loved ones will be supported until they fully recover.
An alcoholic should understand that if he continues to drink, he will face all kinds of problems. If deceived, relatives will no longer sponsor, cover, try to help, create a comfortable environment for drinking.
Comprehensive treatment for alcoholism
The most effective way to get rid of addiction is a gradual treatment. Thanks to the complex treatment with the participation of narcologists, psychologists, psychotherapists, tens of thousands of people overcame the disease, returned to their former lives and rebuilt their families. Therapy consists of 3 main stages: detoxification, rehabilitation, social adaptation.
Poisoning
When you drink alcohol, toxic decomposition products accumulate in the blood in ethyl alcohol. They poison the body, disrupt the functioning of all organs and systems. Detoxifies for cleansingIt is also necessary to get rid of the symptoms of withdrawal.
Infusion therapy cleanses using hardware techniques. The method of detoxification depends on the duration of use, the degree of intoxication, the accompanying diseases and the general condition of the patient. Drivers often include:
- saline solutions;
- vitamins;
- sedatives;
- hepatoprotectors;
- diuretics;
- Preparations for the normalization of the psycho-emotional background, support the work of the heart and blood vessels.
After the procedure, the person recovers from physical pain, but remains psychologically dependent, so additional therapy (rehabilitation) is required.
At the request of the patient, we include one of the coding methods in the complex treatment. This is not a "magic wand" that cures the disease. During the rehabilitation period, the patient helps to control their desires and learn to live independently.
Rehabilitation
One person is sent to a rehabilitation center for recovery. When choosing a facility, it is important to consider whether the clinic has the documentation for addiction treatment. There are many organizations in Russia that offer their own therapies. We use effective rehabilitation methods, we have a license to practice medicine.
Physicians choose recovery programs individually. The most popular are 12 Steps, Daytop, Therapeutic Society. These are effective methods to help get rid of severe alcoholism for 50 years. They are used all over the world.
The period of stay in the center is about 4 to 6 months (results can be guaranteed only after completing the course). According to statistics, recovery rates decrease with treatment for less than 5 months. During rehabilitation, doctors:
- "reprogram" the patient;
- to change thinking;
- helps to find new meaning in life;
- teach to live without alcohol.
At this stage, there is an opportunity to realize the mistakes of the past, to ask for forgiveness from loved ones. It is important to understand that alcoholism is a problem that needs to be addressed.
During the rehabilitation period, we help not only addicts, but also relatives, because alcoholism is a problem of the whole family.
Social adaptation
After returning from the center, an equally important recovery process begins. One person continues to work on himself - a period of social adaptation is passing. At the center, the patient is limited by the outside world and problems, but has a fear complex when he returns home.
One of them is the fear of society. Within the institution, the patient communicates only with doctors and people being treated for alcoholism. After rehabilitation, he returns to the familiar environment where he used to drink alcohol. There is a fear that he will return to addiction, and this makes sense, because the person is at home again. Psychologists believe that it is necessary to continue to participate in individual or group meetings after return.
Meetings are usually held 2-3 times a week. The group includes 3-5 people undergoing therapy. Social adaptation takes about 2 months. In some patients, this period lasts up to 6-7 months. It is extremely important to attend meetings of Anonymous Alcoholics based on the principles of the "12 Steps" program during the period of social adaptation. If a person feels insecure or afraid of an accident, he can go to meetings every day.
