How to help alcoholics stop drinking

We will tell you the secret of a simple and effective strategy. This will help cope with alcoholism and enable a person to live a full life without alcohol. The main condition of our proposal is its implementation.

Alcoholism has become a global problem, claiming thousands of lives every year. A person does not notice that his daily usage is increasing. Relatives try to persuade patients to receive treatment, but generally speaking, they don't know how to help alcoholic patients to quit. Experienced experts work in our center, and they choose treatment methods based on many personal factors.

Helping alcoholics stop drinking

Why is the emotional stability of relatives important

Alcoholism can lead to personality decline and loss of contact with society. Most addicts do not think they are sick, but promise to give up drinking if they want. A person has lost his sense of responsibility to his family and society. It can be persuaded to treat, ignore threats or cause aggression.

When dealing with an addict, you, as a relative or relative, must remain emotionally stable. If you are down, nervous, and aggressive, then you can hardly help alcoholics. We always strongly recommend that people who live with addicts start with themselves. Take care of your own situation, try to unite yourself and control your emotions.

Which methods are not worth wasting time

When relatives fail to convince patients to stop drinking, they often turn to ineffective treatment out of despair. Relatives turned to psychologists, conspiracy grandmothers, therapists, these people have become popular. They promised to eliminate the disease in a course of treatment without understanding the changes in the patient's body due to the effects of ethanol. For services, "experts" spend a lot of money.

At the same time, alcoholism not only causes physical dependence, but also spiritual dependence. This requires long-term comprehensive treatment. It is impossible to get rid of it in one course of treatment-the craving for alcohol is deeply bothering people.

Traditional medicine cannot cure addiction. They have the same effect as using medication to cleanse the body. Such methods can only be regarded as methods to prevent overeating.

Encoding has become a popular technique. It lies in the administration of drugs or the effect on the patient's subconscious mind. Many drug addicts have gone through this process, but the statistics ofare disappointing: only 1% of alcoholics have begun to lead a sober lifestyle.They are aware of this disease and are motivated, that is, the effect of coding comes from their desire to get rid of alcoholism.

Dialogue, the motivation of addicts

People who drink alcohol do not think that alcoholism is a problem. They do not go to the doctor and do not respond to what their relatives say. In most cases, tears and threats have no effect on a person. Psychological addiction will change the mind and attitude towards people. Patients think they are healthy and do not need to stop drinking.

In order for a person to agree to a complex treatment, motivation is needed-an intervention. You can be encouraged to treat in the family council. There is no need to yell at the patient and accuse him of drinking. He must be able to understand:

  • You need to live according to certain rules so as not to lose the support of your relatives;
  • cannot be manipulated by deceived relatives;
  • With the consent of treatment, the loved one will be supported until fully recovered.

The alcoholic must understand that if he continues to drink, he will have to face all face-to-face problems. In case of being deceived, relatives will no longer sponsor, cover, try to help, and create a comfortable drinking environment.

Comprehensive treatment of alcoholism

The most effective way to eliminate addiction is to treat it gradually. Thanks to the participation of anesthesiologists, psychologists, and psychotherapists, comprehensive treatment has enabled thousands of people to overcome the disease, regain a new life, and rebuild their families. The therapy consists of three main stages: detoxification, rehabilitation, and social adaptation.

Detoxification

When drinking alcohol, toxic decay products of ethanol accumulate in the blood. They poison the body and destroy the work of all organs and systems. For cleansing, detox. It is also necessary to get rid of fanaticism and relieve withdrawal symptoms.

Use infusion therapy and hardware technology for cleaning. The method of detoxification depends on the length of use, the degree of poisoning, the accompanying diseases and the general condition of the patient. The dripper usually includes:

  • salt solution;
  • Vitamins;
  • tranquilizer;
  • Liver protectant;
  • Diuretics;
  • Medications can normalize the psychological and emotional background and support the work of the heart and blood vessels.

After the operation, the person got rid of physical pain, but still has psychological dependence, so further treatment (rehabilitation) is needed.

At the request of patients, we include a coding method in complex treatment. This is not a "magic wand" to cure disease. It can help patients suppress cravings and learn to live an addiction-free life during recovery.

Rehabilitation

A person was sent to a rehabilitation center to recover. When choosing an institution, it is important to consider the rehabilitation plan used by the clinic and whether it has documentation for the treatment of addicts. Many organizations in Russia provide their own treatment methods. We use effective rehabilitation methods and we have obtained permission to conduct medical activities.

The doctor chooses the recovery procedure individually. The most popular ones are 12 Steps, Daytop, Therapeutic Community. These effective methods have been helping to get rid of severe alcoholism for more than 50 years. They are used all over the world.

The length of stay in the center is about 4 to 6 months (the result can only be guaranteed after the entire course is completed). According to statistics, less than 5 months of treatment, the percentage of recovery has decreased. During the recovery period, the doctor:

  • "Reprogramming" the patient;
  • Change your mind;
  • Help find new meaning in life;
  • Teach
  • not to drink.

At this stage, there is an opportunity to recognize the mistakes of previous lives and seek forgiveness from relatives. It is very important to understand that alcoholism is a problem that must be solved.

During the recovery period, because alcoholism is a problem for the whole family, we not only provide assistance to drug users but also to relatives.

Social adaptation

After returning from the center, the equally important recovery process begins. A person continues to work hard-after a period of social adjustment. At the center, the patient is not restricted by the outside world and problems, but after returning home, he is full of fear.

One of them is the fear of society. This is related to the fact that patients only communicate with doctors and people receiving treatment for alcoholism in the institution. After he recovered, he returned to his familiar environment, where he used to drink alcohol. People fear that he will be addicted to addiction again, which is logical because the person is at home again. Psychologists believe that after returning home, it is necessary to continue to participate in individual or group meetings.

Meetings are usually held 2-3 times a week. The group includes 3-5 people being treated. Social adjustment takes about 2 months. In some patients, this period can last up to 6-7 months. During the period of social adaptation, it is very important to participate in an anonymous meeting on abstinence according to the principles of the "Twelve Steps" plan. If a person is unsafe and afraid of collapse, he can attend meetings every day.
