We will tell you the secrets of a simple and effective strategy. This will help overcome alcoholism, bringing a person back to a full life, where there is no place for alcohol. The main condition of our proposal is its implementation.
Alcoholism has become a global problem that kills thousands of lives in a year. One does not realize how he uses it more and more every day. Relatives try to convince patients to seek treatment, but, as a rule, they do not know how to help alcohol stop drinking. Experienced specialists work at our center, they choose therapy, taking into account many individual factors.
Why emotional stability of relatives is important
Alcoholism causes a decrease in personality, loss of contact with society. A large number of addicts do not consider themselves sick, they promise that they will stop drinking if they want to. A person loses a sense of responsibility to his family and community. Treatment is convincing, threats are ignored or cause aggression.
When dealing with an addict, you as a relative or loved one must be emotionally stable. If you are depressed, nervous, showing aggression, then you have a hard time helping someone who is drinking alcohol with something. We always recommend that people living with an addict start with themselves. Take care of your situation, try to pull yourself together, control your emotions.
Which method should not waste your time on
When relatives fail to persuade a patient to stop drinking, they often use ineffective treatment due to despair. Relatives turn to psychics, conspiracy grandmothers, healers, who have become very popular. They promise to get rid of the disease in one session, not understanding what changes are happening in the patient's body due to the action of ethanol. For the services of "experts" takes a lot of money.
Meanwhile, alcoholism causes not only physical, but also mental dependence. This requires complex long-term treatment. It is impossible to get rid of it in one session - the desire for alcohol sits far in the head.
Traditional medicine does not cure addiction. They give the same effect as the use of drug therapy to cleanse the body. Such a method can only be considered as a way to avoid alcohol.
Encoding has become a popular technique. It consists of the administration of drugs or its effects on the patient's subconscious. Many addicts have undergone this procedure, but thestatistics are disappointing: only 1% of alcohols begin a sedentary lifestyle.They are aware of this disease and have motivation, that is, the effect of coding comes from their own desire to get rid of alcohol.
Conversation, addictive motivation
People with alcoholism do not consider alcohol to be a problem. They did not go to the doctor, did not respond to the words of their relatives. Often, tears, threats do not occur to a person. Mental addiction changes thinking, attitudes towards people. Patients believe that they are healthy, they should not stop drinking.
For someone to agree on a complex treatment, motivation is needed - intervention. You can be encouraged to undergo therapy at a family gathering. No need to shout at the patient, accusing him of drinking alcohol. It is important that he understands:
- you have to live by certain rules so as not to lose the favor of your relatives;
- should not be manipulated, cheated by relatives;
- If you agree to the therapy, your loved ones will be supported until full recovery.
An alcoholic must understand that if he continues to drink, he should face all problems face to face. In the event of fraud, relatives no longer sponsor, protect, seek to help, create a comfortable environment for drinking.
Comprehensive treatment for alcoholism
The most effective way to get rid of addiction is through gradual therapy. Thanks to complex treatment with the participation of narcologists, psychologists, psychotherapists, tens of thousands of people are able to overcome the disease, return to their previous lives, and rebuild their families. This therapy covers 3 main stages: detoxification, recovery, social adjustment.
Detoxification
While drinking alcohol, the decay products of ethyl alcohol accumulate in the blood. They poison the body, disrupting the work of all organs and systems. For cleaning, detoxification is performed. It is also necessary to get out of the party, relieving the symptoms of withdrawal.
Cleaning using infusion therapy, hardware techniques. The method of detoxification depends on the duration of use, the degree of poisoning, concomitant disease, and the general condition of the patient. Dripper often includes:
- saline solution;
- vitamin;
- sedative;
- hepatoprotectors;
- diuretics;
- drugs to normalize the psycho-emotional background, support the work of the heart and blood vessels.
After the procedure, the person relieves physical suffering, but psychological dependence remains, so further therapy (recovery) is needed.
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 disease. It helps the patient resist the urge, during his recovery, to learn to live without addiction.
Recovery
Someone is sent to a recovery center to recover. When choosing an institution, it is important to consider what rehabilitation program the clinic uses, whether it has documents for the treatment of addicts. There are many organizations in Russia that offer their own methods of therapy. We use effective remedial methods, we are licensed to carry out medical activities.
The doctor selects a recovery program individually. The most popular are the 12 Steps, Daytop, Therapeutic Community. This is an effective method that has helped get rid of severe alcoholism for over 50 years. They are used all over the world.
The duration of stay in the center is about 4 to 6 months (only after completing the full course, the results can be guaranteed). According to statistics, the percentage of recovery decreased with treatment less than 5 months. During recovery, the doctor:
- "reprogramming" the patient;
- change your mind;
- helps find new meaning in life;
- is taught to live without alcohol.
At this stage there is an opportunity to realize the mistakes of the past life, to ask for forgiveness from relatives. It is very important to understand that alcoholism is a problem that needs to be addressed.
During the recovery period, we provide assistance not only to addicts, but also to relatives, because alcoholism is a problem for the whole family.
Social adjustment
Upon returning from the center, the equally important recovery process begins. One continues to strive for oneself - the period of social adjustment passes. At the center, the patient is limited from the outside world and problems, but upon returning home, he experiences anxiety.
One of them is the fear of society. This is related to the fact that in the institution of patients only communicate with doctors and people treated for alcohol. After recovery, he returned to his normal environment, where he used to drink alcohol. Fear arises that he will return to addiction, and this is logical, because the person is at home again. Psychologists believe that upon return, it is necessary to continue to attend individual or group sessions.
Meetings are usually held 2-3 times a week. This group consists of 3-5 people undergoing therapy. Social adjustment takes about 2 months. In some patients, this period lasts up to 6-7 months. During the social adjustment period, it is very important to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, based on the principles of the "12 Step" program. If a person feels insecure, afraid of being damaged, he can go to the session every day.
