Alcohol Treatment
How Long is Alcohol Treatment?
The duration of alcohol treatment depends on the physical and mental health of the patient. A full medical assessment will be done on arrival to determine what treatment options are necessary.
How Do I Know if I Need Rehab?
If you are unsure of the severity of your problem and are unsure if rehab is for you, here are a few telltale signs that you need rehab:
Your whole life revolves around drinking
Is drinking your main focus? As alcohol abuse is a progressive disease, your thoughts of drinking will increase.
Increasing Health Problems
Alcohol abuse has many negative effects, such as fatty liver disease, strokes, and kidney failure.
Mental Health Problems
Alcohol causes changes in the brain and can show up as increased agitation, anxiety, depression, and psychosis.
You have to drink more to get drunk
When you first drink, you are not used to the “rush”. Over time, your body starts to get used to the effects and you will need more to feel the same effect as you did when you first started drinking. This is dangerous as you can blackout, drive drunk, or succumb to alcohol poisoning.
You have an underlying mental condition
Alcohol alters the mind and changes the way we think, behave, and feel. Alcohol abuse can make underlying mental conditions worse or even cause them.
You have tried to quit with no success
Alcoholism is a chronic condition. It is a progressive disease and because of this quitting is not easy to do.
