Alcohol Abuse

One of the most hard-hitting addiction problems in the society today is of alcohol abuse. Looks like the most innocent when compared to other heavy-duty drug addiction like that of methadone, cocaine, marijuana etc. it is a friend in disguise. It starts as a simple drinking habit in times of loneliness which sends the drinker into a Trans and then takes the individuals in its shackles slowly. It is basically an acute condition where a person becomes chronically dependent on alcohol. It is a long-term disease and is mostly acquired by years of drinking alcohol. It is important to take a note here that just moderate drinking even over the years do not make a person addicted to alcohol. The problem arises when the drinking becomes relatively heavier leading to fatal health and psychological problems. Individuals who are victims of alcohol abuse lose their proper state of mind and become more arrogantly vocal about their thoughts leading to unwanted confrontations and violence both at home & work place. They also become mentally obsesses for alcohol and feel they just can’t do anything without their daily dose.

The Basic Steps in Dealing with Patients with History of Alcohol Abuse:

• Drug Detox– Here the patients are medically examined to determine the actual level of alcohol present in the body, and then they are counseled about what to expect from the treatment process followed by the actual treatment.
• Counseling- When a chronic alcoholic person is kept away from alcohol, the body is bound to show signs of withdrawal like nausea, frequent pangs of headache, vigorous sweating etc. Patients find it hard to deal with these symptoms and might become depressed. They are supported through constant counseling by professional psychologists.
• Scrutiny- Relapse is a step to failure for the addicts. Relapsing after going through the recovery process is a defeat for the individual. These treatment programs make sure that such relapses do not occur by constantly keeping eye on the patients.
• Group Therapy- Individuals who have recovered from alcoholism coming from different walks of life are set in a group where they share their experience, grief and struggle through alcoholism. This gives the patients motivation to continue on path of sobriety they have already started upon.
• In some group therapies even the families are brought in to motivate their love ones in their painful ordeal.
