We'll tell you the secrets of a simple and effective strategy. It will help to stop alcoholism, give a person a full life, with no room for alcohol. The main condition of our recommendations is their implementation.
Alcoholism has become a global problem that kills thousands of people every year. One doesn't notice how he uses more and more every day. Relatives try to persuade patients to get treatment, but as a rule, they don't know how to help the alcoholic quit drinking. Experienced professionals work at our center, they choose therapy, taking into account a variety of individual factors.
Why the feelings of a loved one are important
Alcoholism leads to deterioration of personality, loss of connection with society. Most addicts don't consider themselves sick, promising that they'll quit drinking if they want to. A person loses the sense of duty to family and society. Consequences are persuaded, threats are ignored or lead to aggressive behavior.
When dealing with an addict, you, as a relative or relative, must be emotionally stable. If you fall into a depressed, stressed, or aggressive state, you can hardly do something for an alcoholic. We always recommend that people living with addicts start with themselves. Take care of your condition, try to bring yourself together, control your emotions.
What method is not worth your time
When relatives are unable to convince their patients to quit drinking, they often resort to ineffective treatments in despair. Relatives turned to spiritualists, field women, healers, who became very popular. They promised to cure in one session, not understanding the patient's body changes due to the effects of ethanol. For "specialist" services it takes a lot of money.
Meanwhile, alcohol addiction causes not only physical dependence, but also mental dependence. This requires long-term complex treatment. It will be impossible to get rid of it for a single session - cravings for alcohol are in the back of your head.
Traditional medicine does not cure addiction. They are just as effective as using drug therapy to cleanse the body. Such methods can only be considered as one way to prevent binge drinking.
Coding has become a popular technique. It includes drug use or subconscious effects of a patient. Many addicts have gone through this process, but's statistics are disappointing: only 1% of alcoholics begin to lead a sober lifestyle.They are aware of the disease and motivated, ie the effectiveness of coding comes from their own desire to get rid of alcoholism.
Chat, motivate addicts
Alcoholics don't think alcohol is a problem. They do not go to doctors, do not react to the words of their loved ones. Usually, the tears, the threats that don't work for a person. Mental addiction changes thoughts and attitudes towards people. Patients who believe they are healthy do not need to quit alcohol.
In order for a person to agree to complex treatment, it takes motivation - intervention. You may be encouraged to go to therapy at the family council. There's no need to scold the patient, accuse him of drinking alcohol. It is important for him to understand:
- you need to live by certain rules in order not to lose your loved one's favor;
- must not manipulate or deceive relatives;
- If you agree to therapy, your loved ones will be supported until your full recovery.
An alcoholic must understand that if he continues to drink, he will face all the problems he faces. In case of being deceived, relatives will no longer patronize, cover, try to help, create a comfortable eating and drinking environment.
Comprehensive treatment of alcoholism
The most effective way to get rid of addiction is through gradual therapy. Tens of thousands of people have been able to overcome the illness, return to their previous lives and build up thanks to the complex treatment methods with the participation of autographers, psychologists, and psychotherapists. back to family. Therapy includes 3 main phases: detoxification, rehabilitation, social adaptation.
Detox
When drinking alcohol, toxic decomposition products of ethyl alcohol accumulate in the blood. They poison the body, interrupting the work of all organs and systems. For cleaning, a detox is performed. It is also necessary to get rid of drunkenness and relieve withdrawal symptoms.
Cleaning with infusion therapy, hardware engineering. The method of detoxification depends on the duration of use, the degree of intoxication, the comorbidities and the general condition of the patient. Drippers usually include:
- salt solution
- ;
- vitamins;
- sedatives;
- liver protection drugs;
- diuretics; Drugs
- to normalize the psycho-emotional background, to support the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.
After the procedure, the person gets rid of physical pain, but the psychological dependence remains, so further treatment (rehabilitation) is required.
At the request of our patients, we incorporate one of the coding methods into a complex treatment. This is not the panacea "magic wand". It helps patients curb their cravings, while recovering function, learn to live without addiction.
Rehabilitation
A person is sent to a rehabilitation center for rehabilitation. When selecting a facility, it is important to consider the rehabilitation programs the clinic uses, whether there are documentation for the treatment of addicts. There are many organizations in Russia that offer their own treatments. We use effective rehabilitation methods, licensed to perform medical activities.
Doctors choose individual recovery programs. The most common are 12 Steps, Daytop, Community Therapy. These are effective methods that have helped get rid of heavy alcoholism for over 50 years. They are used all over the world.
Time to stay in the center is about 4 to 6 months (only after completing the course full results will be guaranteed). According to statistics, the cure rate decreases with less than 5 months of treatment. During rehabilitation, doctors:
- "reprograms" the patient;
- transforms thinking;
- helps to find new meaning in life;
- is taught to live without alcohol.
At this stage, there is an opportunity to recognize the mistakes of the previous life, and ask for forgiveness from the loved one. It is very important to understand that alcoholism is a problem that needs to be addressed.
During the detox period, we not only support addicts but also support for loved ones because alcoholism is a family problem.
Social adaptation
After returning from the center, an equally important restoration process begins. One continues to work with himself - a period of social adaptation passes. At the center, the patient is confined to the outside world and problems, but when he returns home, he has a complicated fear.
One of them is the fear of society. It is connected with the fact that in hospitals, patients only communicate with doctors and those being treated for alcoholism. After rehabilitation, he returned to his familiar environment where he used to drink alcohol. The fear arises that he will be addicted again, and this is reasonable, because the person is at home again. Psychologists believe that they need to continue attending individual or group lessons after they return.
Meetings usually take place 2-3 times a week. Group of 3-5 people are being treated. Adapting to society takes about 2 months. In some patients, this stage lasts up to 6-7 months. During the social adaptation phase, it is important to attend Anonymous Alcoholics meetings, based on the principles of the “12 Steps” program. If a person feels insecure, apprehensive about disruption, he can go to daily sessions.
