Alcohol Abuse Treatment

Alcoholism has already become a real scourge of nowadays. Alcoholism appears and develops as a consequence of pathological attachment to this or that alcoholic drink. Because the root of problem, as a rule, becomes psychological dependence of patient from alcohol, narcologists think they should free the patient from this destructive craving, which destroys not just physical tunic of patient, but also his psyche and social status.

In case when a human depends on something, it‘s considered as a pathology, an aberrance. The dependence mostly forces the patient to direct all your thoughts and efforts to the thing, which the patient is dependent from. All the others events and details, filling the dependent’s life, fall by the wayside. Alcohol dependence – is backbreaking burden for any alcoholic, which overmasters his will and completely binds the patient to proportionate his life and actions with thirst for alcohol.

We should remember that alcohol dependence, as a rule, is irreversible. The specialists often say that there are no ex-alcoholics, junkies, or other patients, suffering from dependence. A human, who has dependence from anything, and could recover, should control himself as long as his life, fearing to go wrong once again. Well known cases, when the patients, who tie with alcohol, go wrong after many years of “dry” life. The specialists find the opinion of ex-alcoholics mistaken that the glass of cognac or fifty grams of vodka can’t harm the patient’s organism. Probably, this small amount of alcohol doesn’t harm the organism much; however it can provoke a going wrong.

Inebriety and alcoholism – are different conceptions, but often an inebriety becomes as a prevenient stage of alcohol dependence. In case when relatives and friends of home drunkard have doubts about that if the relative or friend ill with alcoholism, it is necessary to address specialists, who will advise how to make a test for alcoholism. In case when the doctors determine the alcoholism, it is necessary to do something for treatment. It is not a secret that in treatment of alcohol dependence the friends’ and relatives’ help is priceless.

Alcohol treatment methods

Nowadays well known different treatment methods from this disease, however the basis for successful recovering of a patient is complete failure from alcohol drinking. There is no difference whether the patient wants to quit drinking or not, this measure is required, because the future success from therapy, conducted by doctors, depends on it. The struggle with alcoholism, as a rule, has comprehensive character and isn’t send just for the struggle with physical manifestations, but also for overcoming the psychological problems, which usually he alcoholic has.

As a rule, during the main stage of alcohol treatment, the different medicinal drugs are used, which are called to help during the treatment process. The closing stage has psychological character, because at this moment it is necessary to outline new goals, and also to make clear that family and friends are ready to help and give a support during the time of trouble of proximity to relapse.

Different contemporary medications, using at addiction medicine, are certainly important, but the treatment becomes the treatment of full value when the psychology becomes a part of the therapy. Among the methods, which are used by specialists in order to form a negative attitude to alcohol from patient, the most popular are such ones:

• coding alcohol dependence;
• medicinal prohibitory methods.

Naturally, every from described group methods of treatment has its disadvantages. Alcohol dependence coding is a method, which not always is reliable. One of the alcohol dependence coding pitfalls is a strong possibility that the patient will begin to drink again after some amount of time after alcohol abuse coding. Besides, we haven’t to forget, that the psychological influence for each specific patient can be exerted just by the skilled specialist. Due to the fact, every patient has his own psychological characteristics, which require for special treatment. We are talking about that the ones psychological methods can work for one patient and can be absolutely useless for other one.

Medicinal prohibitory preparations are more dangerous methods of influence for a patient. But also there is a pitfall here. We are talking about that during the using of these preparations a patient has to be sober absolutely. It is fundamentally, because the treatment success depends on it, and also the patient’s health.

The specialists, engaging in alcoholics’ treatment, pay special attention to procedures complex, consigned to recovering of exhaustion patient.

The applying of these methods groups also can bring the use separately, but the right combing of them has a synergistic effect. The psychotherapists’ support is also useful because the only patient, who believes in himself and feels the help, can reach the end of a fight with addiction.

A human, looking for recovering ways from alcoholism for his relative or friend, for sure has heard and read about different traditional methods of alcohol dependence treatment, which require for knowledge of a patient that he is treated.

Women alcohol treatment

Women’s alcohol abuse has lots of particularities, which aren’t characteristic of men alcoholics. For example, the mood of women, suffering from alcoholism, changes often and unreasonably. Besides, the strongest depression can be experienced by women. There are not rare the cases when the women fall into suicides, dictated by depression, which appears as a result of alcoholism.

The insidiousness of women’s alcohol abuse is that it most often creeps up the representatives of the fairer sex completely unnoticed. It means that woman may not notice as has earned psychological dependence from alcohol. Quietly, drop by drop, she will aggravate her condition, crippling the health and psyche. Women’s alcohol abuse is also known by the fact that it develops much faster, than of men. This is explained by the fact that the woman’s organism is more acted upon by alcohol.

Women are week against the alcohol physically and psychologically. Often a personal crisis or family problems become a reason of that the woman begins to drink, trying to relax and lose control with help of wine or other drink. The cause of alcohol consumption for appetite is also not a new for women, however most of women don’t notice, as “glass for appetite” outgrows into morbid dependence.

Unpromising statistics indicate that prevailing majority of women-alcoholics don’t want to recognize their illness. This became the additional reason of the fact that the alcohol destroys more women’s lives than men’s. Sometimes, women-alcoholics try to recover by themselves, fighting with alcohol abuse at home. As a rule, it doesn’t bring a result, and only makes worse the situation. When the family of an ill woman gets known about the problems of their mother, sister or daughter, it, is often too late and are necessary drastic measures, which can help to treat the woman.

Hospital for in-patients is an optimum alternative for woman, who suffers from alcoholism. In the hospital the specialists will make the next necessary procedures:

• cleansing the patient’s organism from stockpiled toxins;
• normalization of metabolic processes;
• rearrangement of patient’s nerve system.

The treatment of woman will be ineffective without these components. Clear, that it is impossible to do these procedures at home, that is why it will be more rational to give a relative into hands of responsible qualified specialists. The sessions, which help to develop the negative attitude to alcohol, also plays important role in treatment of women’s alcohol dependence.

The successful treatment of alcoholism means the required support of friends and family. A human, who thinks that he is abandoned and isolated from society, unlikely will be able to fight with abuse. The only support of those who are close and can understand mays become a warranty that the desire to be treated and recover will appear. The support of loved people is required element of alcohol treatment, as for men and also for women from drug clinics. The drug specialists realize the power of family’s support and give more chances to recover for those alcoholics, whose families are ready to support their wayward relatives.
