Alcohol Treatment at Precision Recovery
The goal of an addiction recovery program is to help a person craft goals that are relevant and meaningful. At Precision Recovery we encourage our client to consider their personal expectations and create a plan to live an alcohol-free life. In addition to personal goals, we help our patient set up goals during alcohol treatment to enable a full recovery to occur.
What Kind of Goals Should a Person Set in Alcohol Treatment?
After consulting with our treatment professionals, we determine the best course of action to take to help someone become sober.
Some of the most important goals we encourage for our patients includes the following:
• Elimination of alcohol abuse
• Removal of access to alcohol
• Developing an understanding of the underlying reasons behind their alcohol abuse
• Developing healthy stress-management and coping skills
• Connecting with a support group to encourage continued sobriety
When is the Best Time for Alcohol Treatment?
Before going through any type of treatment program, a person must first realize they have a problem and have a desire to stop drinking alcohol. Sometimes, a person may acknowledge they have an alcohol issue, other times a friend or family member might stage an intervention.
Some signs could happen when someone has an alcohol problem include:
• Frequent episodes of binge drinking
• Mood swings
• Poor work or school performance
• Making excuses for neglecting personal responsibilities
• Denial of an issue with excessive alcohol use
• Criminal consequences due to alcohol such as violence, drunken driving, etc.
• Decreased interest in hobbies one used to enjoy
While there is no perfect time to seek alcohol treatment, we at Precision Recovery encourage you to do it now. The longer you abuse alcohol, the worse your personal life and health will become, you may not even realize how much you stand to lose because you drink uncontrollably.
What is Alcohol Detox?
The first initial step in treating alcoholism is for a person to go through detoxification. Within the first few days after a person stops drinking, uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms will happen. Because of initial withdrawal, a person should be monitored throughout the process by a medical professional. The treatment specialists at Precision Recovery will provide a person with medication, supervision and medical attention to make sure detox is facilitated in a safe and effective manner.
What Type of Alcohol Counseling is Offered at Precision Recovery?
A person going through alcohol treatment should attend frequent counseling sessions to communicate and receive guidance during the recovery process. Counseling opens a line of communication and allows a person to share what they’re going through with others enduring the same thing. Our therapists will work with a client to help them work through underlying issues that may be a trigger to cause a person to drink, such things as peers, family differences and other circumstances. Therapy gives a person a chance to learn more about themselves, as well as how to keep their body healthy inside and outside.
How Can Alcohol Recovery Be Sustained?
Because there is always a chance of relapse after someone completes alcohol treatment, our program will make sure a patient has all the resources needed to sustain recovery. The purpose of relapse prevention resources is to help a person maintain their recovery, and to prevent them from drinking after leaving treatment.
A person in recovery needs to have adequate and supportive care and access to the services needed to help them remain sober. For some people, professional psychiatric care is required, particularly if a person has a co-occurring alcohol use disorder with a mental health issue.
