Alcoholism - how to help a loved one? How to help someone stop drinking

Help for alcoholism

To help an alcoholic stop drinking, one should consider the reasons that contribute to the emergence of this problem, including social, biological - the body’s greater sensitivity to alcohol, genetic, for example, children born to alcoholics are likely to encounter alcoholism, as well as mental - an attempt to forget about the environment world, solve personal problems and relieve tension.

It makes no difference how to help an alcoholic with drug therapy or by turning to a psychologist, the main thing is to take into account the following nuances:

First, you need to identify the reason that pushes you to drunkenness. A psychologist should help you understand yourself and identify the optimal way out of the circumstances. After this, the drinker’s alcohol-containing drinks fade into the background, and he is able to independently wean himself from alcohol addiction;
A psychotherapist can make an alcoholic want to recover from alcoholism. This is relevant when relatives cannot convince the patient to stop drinking. In many cities there are special social and psychological services that provide assistance with alcoholism;
Psychological sessions should be considered if the use of medication is not acceptable;
Hypnosis can help you stop drinking and reduce cravings. Thanks to hypnotic sessions, the correct idea of a sober image is formed, that it brings happiness and pleasure.

Methods for treating alcoholism

Narcology deals with identifying the causes of the disease and makes recommendations. Of course, a person has the right to choose the method of treatment, but it is better if a narcologist does this. When drawing up a course, the doctor takes into account many points:

patient's age;
his health;
how long does alcohol abuse last?

For example, when a woman drinks alcohol, her body is destroyed faster. The following methods of getting rid of alcoholism are distinguished:

psychiatric - help begins with identifying the causes and communicating with the alcoholic;
medicinal;
hypnosis;
folk remedies (you should consult your doctor before use);
Church - faith can provide truly invaluable help. To do this, a person should go to a monastery that works with alcoholics. Often this method is chosen by relatives when the patient does not want to admit his addiction;
Using magic is a dubious method and is not recommended.

Free help from a psychologist

There is psychological help for alcohol addicts, provided free of charge by phone, found in many cities. Treatment is based on improving mutual understanding in the family and team. During a free consultation, it will become clear to the alcoholic that his actions are destroying the family. The psychoanalyst will emphasize that this happens intentionally due to the desire to drink.

Free help for alcoholics reveals his actions at the moment and projects them into the future. Future paths of development after consultation are predicted. When the described future begins to come true, the patient will not feel guilty or angry about his past. This practice is much more effective than moralizing.

Nuances when providing psychological assistance

Help in treating alcoholism using psychotherapeutic methods encounters a number of difficulties:

the patient is not always ready to open up to a specialist and talk about his experiences;
the patient becomes afraid to expose his inner world to a stranger, he feels unprotected, then therapy may become ineffective;
there is a denial of feelings and the world in which the addict lives;
a drinking person is destructive, he refuses to understand himself.

As a result, this leads to the fact that the alcoholic is not able to understand the true cause that contributes to the onset of the disease.

Factors when working with a patient

When providing assistance to alcoholics, a psychologist should follow the following principles:

The patient should not drink at the time of consultation. Therapy will be ineffective if he is intoxicated;
communication with a specialist causes the alcoholic to have a hostile attitude towards him. Then the psychologist should strengthen the client’s dependence on himself, thereby replacing his dependence on alcohol.

A psychologist cannot completely cure alcoholism, but he can provide assistance in trying to quit drinking. In order to completely give up alcohol, the patient must come to this himself.

Medicinal method

In addition to therapy, alcoholism can be treated with medication. A person chooses for himself whether he will take the course in a hospital or at home. Possible treatment options are:

in a drug treatment clinic that provides free services in outpatient and inpatient settings;
in private clinics. This event is not cheap, so you should evaluate your financial capabilities in advance. At the same time, for his money the client will receive good conditions of stay and experienced staff;
if an alcoholic wants to remain anonymous and not have his problem known, he should turn to private drug treatment clinics. However, it is worth finding a truly experienced specialist who understands the problem;
in extreme cases, for example, with withdrawal symptoms, you can call a specialist to your home. He can help bring an alcoholic out of binge drinking.

Medical advice is not to self-medicate, because without medical education the dosage may be selected incorrectly. The drugs have contraindications and can harm the patient if used incorrectly. Only a narcologist will assess the health of an alcoholic and prescribe the right course.

Drugs used

Drugs that help a person stop depending on alcohol are divided into three types:

Reducing cravings for alcohol

These medications are prescribed if the patient cannot stop drinking alcohol on his own. The most popular drug is Vivitrol. It blocks opioid receptors, which cause the feeling of euphoria when taking alcohol or drugs. Its price can reach 18 thousand rubles, and it is also difficult to use because it is administered intramuscularly. However, he has a cheaper analogue, Naltrexone, which costs around a thousand rubles. In addition to the above, there is a medicine with a different effect. ProProTen-100 affects the brain, restoring its damaged functions, eliminating the consequences of a hangover: headache, nausea. The price will be around 200 rubles.

Causing a feeling of disgust

These are medications that are used for coding. They are sewn under the skin or given intramuscular injections. The effect of the drug is that a person has a negative reflex to alcohol. This effect is provided by Esperal in the form of tablets and injections, as well as Tetlong-250 and Colma injections. The first ones are sold at a price of 1,600 rubles, the Tetlong -250 course will cost from 6,000 to 9,000 rubles. The price for Colme is about 1200 rubles.

Restorative

Long-term abuse of alcohol leads to the destruction of many body systems: cardiovascular, nervous, digestive. For treatment, it is necessary to get rid of toxins and restore the functionality of all systems. To normalize the functioning of the nervous system, it is recommended to take Glycine, the price in pharmacies is from 50 rubles per pack. To relieve intoxication, use Biotredin and Zorex. The cost for them varies from 150 to 300 rubles, depending on the pharmacy chain.

Hypnosis

The method under consideration is considered an important psychotherapeutic practice used in addiction medicine. Several types of hypnosis are used in the fight against alcoholism:

Ericksonian hypnosis. The patient is immersed in a state bordering between sleep and reality. Then a ban on drinking strong drinks is imposed. After emerging from the trance, the patient follows the instructions. Usually a complex of procedures is needed;
Suggestive therapy. There is a immersion in sleep, during which the specialist gives instructions for the prohibition, while pronouncing all the prohibitions and warnings;
Classic hypnosis. It is carried out by immersing oneself in a trance and provides information on the prohibition of alcohol and all situations associated with it: smell, taste. After this, the patient may even have a gag reflex. The result is achieved after the first session;
Neurolinguistic programming (NLP). The effect is achieved by immersing the patient in a state of joy and satisfaction with life. A comprehensive course is required. The use of NLP code is also practiced, which makes it possible to permanently suppress the craving for alcohol;
"Anchor method". The doctor finds a subconscious “anchor”, which is the cause of the problem.

ethnoscience

It is worth starting treatment after consulting a doctor. He will tell you at what stage the disease is and whether this method will help.

This method is usually used by people who do not want to advertise their current situation or who refuse to admit their addiction. In this case, relatives can independently prepare a decoction or tincture and mix it into the patient’s drink. Another advantage of folk remedies is their availability and low cost. Many people resort to assembling the ingredients themselves to make decoctions. It is considered a safe therapy, they have no side effects and, unlike drugs, are not toxic. This is only true if the correct dosages and instructions are followed. There is an opinion that herbs can cure beer, wine and vodka alcoholism.

Help from relatives in the fight against illness

Relatives should also help the alcoholic, as their support will play an important role. They should learn to adequately respond to the behavior of an alcoholic and provide effective assistance; for this they must have psychological training. Since relatives will constantly confront the disease, they need the support of a psychologist. Otherwise, everything will come down to constant reproaches and condemnations. And this will not help a person stop drinking, because he will feel like a failure. This will only increase the desire to drink.

It is important for loved ones to learn to support an alcoholic during the period of his formation on the right path. After all, during treatment it is especially difficult for the patient, and he needs the understanding and faith of his relatives.

Alcohol poisoning and first aid

People who drink alcohol do not always realize that it is poison for the body. Exceeding the dose may lead to poisoning. Even a small amount of ethyl alcohol can poison a person. According to statistics, more than 50% of deaths occur due to alcohol intoxication. This article will further discuss how to provide first aid for alcohol poisoning.

Alcohol intoxication can be determined by the following symptoms:

If the listed signs are found, you should call an ambulance. However, before doctors arrive, emergency care should be provided to the patient, reducing the effect of ethyl alcohol on the body.

To do this you should:

loosen clothing to allow oxygen to enter the victim’s body;
using ammonia, if this is not available, then by rubbing the ears, bring the person to consciousness;
turn on its side;
perform forced gastric lavage;
give diuretics or sorbents to drink;
cover with a warm blanket.

In case of cardiac arrest, a person may die before doctors arrive, so artificial respiration and chest compressions should be performed.

The above actions are aimed at slowing down the flow of toxins into the blood, and the patient’s recovery will be much faster.

Remember that, despite his addictions, a person should not tolerate your reproaches and humiliations. Be more tactful and do not injure the individual’s self-esteem. Remember that addiction is a disease, and sometimes a person gets into trouble without realizing what he is doing. Your task is not to judge him, not to scold him or reprimand him, but to show him that you are ready to help.

Talk to your loved one in a calm environment. Listen to him and try to understand his position. Let the person know that you are concerned about their life and offer to help. Try to understand what exactly alcohol gives him, and determine how ready the person is for treatment.

Remember that there is no point in talking to an alcohol-dependent person while intoxicated. The morning when he is suffering from a hangover is also not the best option. Choose a time when he is not drinking and talk to the person sober.

Correct behavior

When you have an alcohol addict in your family, you need to eliminate all temptations, at least in your home. Give up riotous feasts, replace the feast with tea drinking. Support and encourage the person who is struggling with their problem. But you shouldn’t reproach him for his misdeeds and mistakes. Believe me, at such moments the individual is much worse off than you, and he only needs consolation.

Try to convince your loved one of the need for treatment. Draw his attention to problems with health, work, social sphere and money. Do this tactfully and describe how the individual's life would be without alcohol. The addict must believe in the possibility of a better future and that he will always have support in your person.

However, support should be provided in moderation. When there is a person nearby who solves all the problems caused by addiction to alcohol, the drunkard will not soon think about the need to change. Don't be an individual's babysitter. If, while drunk, he lost documents or with friends, caused damage to property or health, lost his job or the respect of good friends, let him sort out the result himself. Understand that this will only benefit the alcoholic.

Treatment

If a person suffers from alcoholism, but refuses to go to a drug addiction specialist, you may be able to convince him to attend an addiction support society. Explain that such support is simply necessary.

Remember that the fight against alcohol addiction involves abstaining from alcohol completely. If your loved one hopes that he can drink moderately or rarely and remain a normal member of society, dissuade him. Since addiction has already manifested itself, it means that the only way for an individual to improve his life is to show prudence and never repeat past mistakes.

It can be very difficult to watch alcoholism ruin the life of a friend or family member. As a rule, a patient with alcoholism needs to undergo a rehabilitation course in order to receive full help. If you want to help, you must first determine whether the person is truly an alcoholic. And only then start helping your friend get the right treatment.

Steps

Part 1

Ask the person to stop drinking

Look for signs of alcoholism. Having problems with alcohol does not mean completely becoming an alcoholic. Problems with alcoholism can be solved and overcome by the patient himself, but treating the disease “alcoholism” requires external intervention. Typically, the symptoms of alcoholism are as follows:

Problems at school and at work, such as being late or missing work altogether due to a hangover
Frequent memory loss after drinking
Drinking-related legal troubles, such as arrests for public drunkenness or drunk driving
Inability to leave a glass of alcohol half full or to be near alcohol and not drink it
Consistent binges and hangovers
Relationships damaged by alcohol use
Strong desire to drink in the morning and withdrawal symptoms in the absence of drinking

Think about what you will tell him. Once you decide to talk to a person about his drinking habit, rehearse exactly what you are going to tell him. Be brief, objective and thorough. This will prevent the patient from moving away from you and will relieve him of the feeling that you are putting emotional pressure on him.

Talk to the person. If you notice any signs of alcoholism, talk to the person and let them know about your concerns. Explain to him that his behavior is affecting others and he needs to stop for his own good and the good of his family. Tell him about the problems that will follow due to alcohol abuse.
- Choose a time to talk when he is sober. For example, the morning is usually the best time, and it’s okay if the patient has a hangover. Argue that he is destroying his body day after day.
Don't argue or judge. When you talk to a person about his bad habits, do not start with accusations and condemnations. Avoid constant moralizing about drinking, as this can only make the situation worse. Such reasoning will only prevent the patient from revealing to you the reasons for the constant desire to drink.

Try to understand him. When you talk to him about his problem, you can safely ask about the reasons that push him to do this. You should also find out if the patient has a good support system. If not, you can suggest getting group help.

Don't force a person to stop drinking. Alcoholism is a complex disease, so you are unlikely to be able to overcome it with force. Moreover, it may encourage a person to drink more.

Part 2

Providing assistance

First of all, do not drink alcohol in the presence of the patient. This will make it much more difficult for him to stop drinking. It can also lead to unhealthy habits in your life. You can help another person by meeting and spending time in places that do not sell alcohol. In addition, this will make the task much easier for the patient.

Tell others. Ask people in your close circle if they have noticed any disturbing behavior or if they think the person has problems. You shouldn’t call him an alcoholic and, especially, talk about it to those who shouldn’t know about it. Don't violate his privacy rights.

Talk to him. Remind him that you care about him, care about him and want to help him. Share with him what you notice and ask him what needs to be done to help him. Be prepared for the fact that the person may refuse your help and begin to avoid you for some time.

Try to involve a professional. If the alcoholic refuses to go to treatment or won't even consider it, try getting a therapist. The specialist will have sufficient experience working with various types of alcoholism and will be able to work with you to create a special treatment plan that is suitable specifically for your friend.

The specialist will explain to you and the patient’s loved ones how to behave and how to react in difficult situations.

Be encouraging throughout your treatment. If the alcoholic agrees to go to treatment and take the necessary measures, be sure to support him. Don't let him feel guilty or ashamed, show him that you are proud of his desire to get better.
Be prepared for disruptions. If a person goes to rehab and undergoes treatment, they may be very vulnerable after treatment. For most patients, treatment does not end; they constantly have to fight alcoholism. Friends and relatives of the patient should support him, despite the recurrence of the disease (the disease recurs in almost all patients).
- Find quiet activities for you to do that don't involve drinking alcohol. Ride bikes, play cards, cook, go to museums, parks, etc. After all, imagine that you were both “stranded in the rain.”
- Encourage him to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings frequently and receive necessary counseling.

Unfortunately, there are a number of things in the world that are extremely difficult for a person to change, especially if he lacks the desire. After all, it is your own attitude and motivation that plays a decisive role in achieving your goals and fulfilling your plans. It seems that there are means, opportunities, conditions, helpers, but in the absence of personal attitude and goals, all existing prerequisites become ineffective.

The same applies to existing diseases. If there is no desire to be cured, even the most qualified specialist and the best techniques will not help the patient. But the worst thing is when situations requiring treatment arise when a person has addictions. How to help an alcoholic quit drinking if he doesn’t want to and, moreover, denies the presence of the disease.

There are many ways to help a person stop drinking if he doesn’t want to.

In our country, alcohol-containing drinks are available to every adult; store shelves are bursting with a rich variety of alcohol. Of course, no one is forbidden to spend a pleasant evening, celebrate a holiday, or a special event with a glass or two of spirits. The problem becomes drinking alcohol every night, when alcohol is included in the daily menu and in quite large quantities.

According to statistics, about 2.5-3 million people die from alcohol abuse every year around the world.

Narcologists divide modern alcoholism into several types. Unfortunately, teenage (children's) alcoholism has been added to the already existing male and female alcoholism. Psychologists also include types of pathologies such as:

beer (if the patient drinks exclusively beer);
“weekend” alcoholism (when alcohol is consumed in large quantities only on weekends);
cocktail (mostly affects young people who constantly drink all kinds of alcoholic cocktails at parties and bars).

But regardless of the type and type of alcohol addiction, each one is based on a deadly addiction. It should be dealt with using all known methods. After all, alcoholism ruins the life of the patient’s family members, and leads to death of the addict himself.

The essence of alcoholism

Ways to solve the problem

The situation is complicated by the fact that people suffering from alcohol addiction and periodically going into drunken states do not admit that they have a problem. What to do in this case, how to help a person stop drinking? There are several methods that can help with this matter. In particular:

Use persuasion to persuade a person to undergo treatment.
To cause the drinker to experience some kind of nervous shock due to drunkenness.
It is unnoticed by the drunkard to add various medications to alcohol (or other drinks), which provoke an aversion to alcohol in the patient. This is how folk recipes work.
Seek help from witches and magicians to carry out a suitable ritual to wean a person from drunkenness.
Intimidate the drunkard to such an extent that he agrees to treatment and goes through all the prescribed procedures.

The Power of Beliefs

This method of saving a person’s life should be used immediately, preventing the development of alcoholism. As soon as an individual’s excessive addiction to alcohol consumption is noted, one should begin talking and convincing. Otherwise, it will be too late and an increased love for alcohol will quickly lead a person to the emergence of a strong addiction, where beliefs alone will no longer help.

If it is noticed that a person begins to abuse alcohol, the first thing you need to do is talk to him and try to convince him to quit the habit before it develops into addiction.

Psychologists advise conducting the conversation in a calm tone, without tears, reproaches and screams. You should tell the person about his behavior when drunk, and how he looks from the outside. Before the conversation, you need to prepare evidence:

film drunken antics and then show the footage;
bring family and friends who were present to the conversation;
remember all the troubles that happened to the drinker and remind him of everything in detail.

It is necessary to ensure that the drinker remembers this situation and thinks that it is time to “quit” and stop drinking. It’s also a good idea to remind a person about the torment that a hangover brings. A good argument is money spent (thrown away).

Main causes of alcoholism

It is necessary to prepare yourself for possible reactions to such a conversation on the part of the drinker. An alcohol lover will be offended, swear, argue, and there may be subsequent quarrels and discord. You should arm yourself with perseverance, patience and stand your ground. You cannot agree with his arguments, but in response offer a more worthy alternative to drinking:

needlework;
playing sports;
jogging in the morning;
pets;
new hobby, passion.

It would be a great option to share a new hobby with him. It is impossible to refuse help to a person who is in a risky situation. On the contrary, all possible support should be provided, it is necessary to ensure that the alcohol lover completely trusts and believes, knowing that loved ones will always support and come to the rescue.

Is it worth intimidating?

You can try to help a drinker stop drinking alcohol using intimidation methods. But psychologists do not advise practicing this; these methods are too contradictory and, moreover, can only aggravate the situation.

Intimidation methods are applicable only in extreme cases and only subject to the specific character of the drinking person.

What does alcoholism lead to?

What can you do to intimidate? Using those criteria that have the greatest value to the drinker. For example:

If you come drunk again, I won’t let you go home.
If you continue to drink, you will be kicked out of work.
If you lose your job because of drunkenness, you will have nothing to pay off your loans, which will lead to the loss of your home; your apartment will be taken away through the courts.
And you won’t be able to find a new job, who needs drinkers.

Seek medical help

If confidential conversations do not help, exhortations and convictions do not reach the recipient, you should pay attention to the use of medications. In particular, those that can be used without the knowledge of the patient. They exist in two types. A narcologist will advise you which one to choose.

Drugs that cause aversion to alcohol

These medications are added to the drinker's regular food or drink. Being in a sober body, such medications do not manifest themselves in any way. But as soon as you consume a small amount of alcohol, ethanol reacts violently with them, causing the development of unpleasant and very painful symptoms, similar to severe poisoning.

Medications that provoke aversion to alcohol should not be used independently. First you need to consult a narcologist. The fact is that all drugs of this level are toxic and have a large number of contraindications.

And in people suffering from heart problems, these medications can trigger a heart attack and respiratory arrest. The most common medications of this type include the following medications:

Teturam;
Antaxon;
Esperal;
Naltrexone;
Disulfiram.

Medicines that stop the pleasure of drinking

And the work of these drugs lies in their specific effect on brain receptors. In particular, such drugs lead to blocking the production of pleasure hormones (dopamine, serotonin, endorphin) when drinking alcohol. That is, when drinking, a person does not receive the expected euphoria, joy, or relaxation. And over time, alcohol loses all its meaning.

Alcoholism should be fought in every possible way

Unlike those drugs that cause disgust, medications of this level have practically no contraindications. These medications can be used without fear of possible negative consequences. In addition to reducing cravings for alcohol, such drugs improve a person’s condition by stabilizing his psycho-emotional level. These include the following medications:

Vivitron;
Balance;
Acaprosat;
ProProTen-100.

Arm yourself with traditional medicine

To treat cravings for drinking, healers use various infusions and decoctions that are added to drinks and food without the person’s knowledge. The result is the appearance of nausea, vomiting, and painful pain in the abdomen. That is, drinking will only bring negative and unpleasant sensations, which will lead the drinker to give up drinking.

Before you start implementing folk recipes, you need to consult a doctor. Medicinal herbs also have a lot of contraindications and, out of ignorance, you can only harm a person and not help him.

There are many more folk recipes that can help discourage a person from drunkenness than patented medicines. The most commonly used are decoctions and infusions prepared from the following plants:

When using this or that plant, be extremely careful. Many of these crops are toxic and poisonous. When executing a prescription, you must not deviate from the suggested doses and carefully adhere to the conditions prescribed in the recipe.

Let's go to see the magicians

Another option to help a person cope with the craving for drinking without his knowledge is to visit representatives of the esoteric world. Many of them will also offer to use traditional medicine recipes. Others will work through spells and incantations. To believe in this field of activity or not is an individual matter.

Main signs of alcoholism

But there have been cases when people actually stopped drinking with the help of such healers. Perhaps this is just a lucky coincidence, a coincidence, but miracles have not yet been canceled. But in trying to find a really good healer, there is a high risk of encountering notorious scammers, and there are a lot of them in this environment.

Provoke nervous shock

By the way, this is a new way of trying to reason with a drinking person. Its meaning is to artificially create a certain situation, extremely dangerous and unpleasant, the cause of which will be intoxication. Having found himself in such a situation, a person, in the process of searching for a way out of it, sobers up, a rethinking of his lifestyle occurs and a transition to a new level of consciousness, where there is no place for drunkenness.

Such situations are created by professionals; this method is the most expensive, but also quite effective way to quit drinking. Here are just some of the scenarios that can be used in this situation:

The man goes once again to the bar to get drunk.
A specially hired person quietly drops a sleeping pill into a glass of alcohol.
After the person passes out, she is taken out of the bar and taken away from the city.
They leave you sleeping in the forest (or somewhere else), having previously taken all documents, money and means of communication.
Having sobered up, a person has to endure the horror of being robbed and left in an unfamiliar and frightening place.
When he finally gets home, before he gets drunk in the future, he will think a hundred times about whether it's worth it.

Specialists who arrange these situations can also use the child, making him “lost” from his drinking father. Or suggest other ways. There are a lot of these “representations”. But, if it has been decided to resort to this method, the choice of a “frightening” situation should be approached wisely, taking into account the character and emotionality of the person. Otherwise, you can lead him to a nervous breakdown. Ideally, you should consult with a psychologist, and then seek help from actors.

conclusions

So, there are a great many ways to help a person stop drinking without his knowledge. Nothing is impossible in life, it's all about purpose and perseverance. Which method to use for a good cause must be decided individually, taking into account the characteristics of a particular person. But something needs to be done; alcoholism should not be allowed to develop to such an extent that a person can only be helped with the help of psychiatrists.

Chronic alcoholism has literally become the scourge of recent decades. As a rule, the alcoholic himself and his family, who painfully seek a way out of the current situation, suffer from addiction.

3 stages of alcoholism

The disease does not develop overnight. It all starts with everyday drunkenness, and the first stage can be set when alcohol is consumed regularly and the gag reflex is lost in case of an overdose. The second symptom of the onset of the disease is systematic memory loss. The third is the absence of aversion to alcohol on the second day. The fourth is an increase in the amount of alcohol tolerated, an expansion of the individual norm.

In the second stage, a person drinks almost constantly, and the amount drunk increases. The patient is aware of his addiction, but he is almost unable to fight it. As a rule, in a state of intoxication he achieves his greatest performance. Memory lapses become more and more obvious, and the next morning after drinking you feel a powerful hangover.

At the last stage of the disease, the death of an alcoholic can occur. Most often this happens due to delirium tremens or heart failure. If a person does not die, then he degrades psychologically, physically and socially.

Is it possible to contact healers?

Alcoholism is a serious disease that completely changes a person’s personality. It is usually useless to contact healers and whispering grandmothers here. Traditional medicine also practically does not work. All sorts of miraculous drugs that supposedly help relieve addiction to alcohol are a bluff.

Alcoholism has psychological, subconscious roots. Most often, the problem is associated with the inability to realize one's potential or with deep personal traumas. What is important here is the help of a qualified narcologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, as well as proper drug treatment, which at first will help reduce dependence on the chemical components of alcoholic beverages.

Treatment of alcoholism in a drug treatment clinic

When dealing with alcoholism, it is worth considering that in advanced cases, successful treatment is only possible in medical institutions. With inpatient therapy, the patient is protected from the negative effects of his usual environment, which has a beneficial effect on the possibility of recovery. It is best to trust your life and health to true professionals in their field. For example, the Renaissance drug treatment clinic is a place where just such doctors work. Here the patient will receive highly qualified assistance at any stage of the disease, will be taken out of binge drinking and will be helped to cope with the disease forever.

According to the editors of the site, it is especially important that relatives of a patient with alcoholism realize that although it is almost impossible to force an alcoholic to begin treatment, his recovery directly depends on the support of others.
