Who has not experienced the difficulty of looking for good Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers? There are so many facilities offering the same overpromising results across the USA, and as they say, no two cases of addiction are entirely the same. How do you know if the Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers on your shortlist are the right ones?

Thorough and balanced treatments

While not all Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers approach addiction the same way, the successful ones do have things in common. Their programs are all well-balanced and give weight to both the physiological and the psychological elements behind alcoholism. They also do not just dish out template rehabilitation treatments. They actually take the time to customize their programs so that they can meet all the specific needs of their patients. After all, no two cases of addiction are completely the same. When you treat alcoholism with cookie-cutter programs, you’re bound to overlook a lot of things.

Ideal environments

You’ve probably seen flyers of luxury Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers. Most of them have big rooms and they’re also situated in the most pristine nature spots in the country. It is easy to think that they’re only selling whimsical perks—ones which obviously cannot be enjoyed by those who sign up in public rehab facilities. What they forget to mention is how these perks can actually affect one’s progress in rehab.

Studies have shown that the more ideal the Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers themselves are for the healing of the mind as well as the body, the higher the chances are for recovery. You certainly cannot expect patients to fall in love with life again when you contain them in a depressing room surrounded by gray walls. Luxury rehabilitation centers, with spaces that are conducive to complete rehabilitation, on the other hand, help patients to appreciate life and respect their bodies again. Those who sign up in luxury Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers are just more likely to overcome their addictions completely.

Strong outpatient support

Excellent inpatient programs are always attractive features for Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers. However, treatment shouldn’t stop the moment the patient is out of the facility. As a matter of fact, outpatients should receive, if not double the support, just as much support as inpatients. You need to remember that most relapse cases happen during the outpatient phase of the rehab. This is because the recovering addict is exposed to alcoholism triggers again, as opposed to the controlled conditions inside the facility.

To help him/her overcome alcoholism, the family’s support needs to be there. Most Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers (the responsible ones, anyway) make sure that their programs involve the family. They should, ideally, also provide peer counseling sessions to recovering outpatients.

Important note

While choosing the best Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers do help make complete recovery possible, it is not the only element that should be considered. Other things, including the patient’s resolve to get better, play a big part in the success or failure of the rehab. As long as the patient received the treatment well, relapses are least likely to happen. A patient who keeps on rejecting the rehab program, on the other hand, will never receive the full benefits of his/her rehab, no matter how efficient the program is.

Question by rarefind: It Happens All The Time in Good Ole DC.l And Don’t You Just Love It When the Politicos Get Caught?
WASHINGTON – Former Rep. Mark Foley under FBI investigation for e-mail exchanges with teenage congressional pages, has checked himself into a rehabilitation facility for alcoholism treatment and accepts responsibility for his actions, his attorney said Monday.

“I strongly believe that I am an alcoholic and have accepted the need for immediate treatment for alcoholism and other behavioral problems,” Foley said in a statement, Roth told the AP.

And Tony Snow, White Press Secretary says with a smile:
“Oh, this was just a matter of a few “naughty” e-mails
omg!

And so now, Foley sees the need for alcohol rehabilitation, because he “likes teenage boys”
omg! this is so ridiculous !

And Debra LaFave sees the need for treatment for her
“bipolar” because she likes a 14 year old boy
omg this is so ridiculous !

Too bad Clinton dodn’t see the need for “bj obsession treatment”
because he liked bj’s.
omg this is so ridiculous !

Excuses, excuses excuses !
Washington !

Alcohol rehab requires commitment from those who are dependent on alcohol and they will be helped and supported to stop drinking by qualified and dedicated staff. Choosing the right alcohol rehab centre and programme is very important and doing so increases the chances of successfully stopping drinking.

Various alcohol rehab treatments are available, depending on the level and length of your addiction, different centres’ approaches and, to an extent, your own personal preferences.  The first step when you contact an alcohol rehab clinic or are referred by your GP is for your situation to be assessed.

During your first triage assessment, an addiction professional will assess the level of your addiction and the type of care that will be most appropriate for you. It’s also a chance for you to assess the facilities and decide whether the centre feels right for you. You’ll also be assessed on your drinking patterns and your overall health. After your assessment alcohol rehab staff will prepare a personalised diagnostic report for you, detailing your current position and the treatment required.

Treatment you may be prescribed includes preventative treatment if you’re concerned that your regular drinking could be on the verge of becoming problematic. Treatment in this area will help you understand how close you are to alcohol dependency and how you can avert this. You’ll be encouraged to think about why you drink and what your triggers are. You’ll be introduced to techniques to help you stop drinking too much.

Alcohol detox treatment is also available if dependency is more advanced. It’s important that detox is managed or it can be dangerous. An alcohol rehab clinic is the safest place to detox. Medication is prescribed to minimise the negative side-effects of detox and round-the-clock supervision and monitoring is provided. Complementary therapies are sometimes used too. In some scenarios accelerated alcohol detox programmes are available, where faster results can be achieved.

Rehabilitation helps individuals stop relying on alcohol to function in day-to-day life. It’s about learning to live an alcohol-free life, change your relationship with alcohol and preparing for potential relapses.

Aftercare is also an important part of alcohol rehab. It will provide support at times when you feel vulnerable and help you avoid relapsing into drinking alcohol again. You will learn specific tactics and techniques to control drinking and undergo training to help you cope with situations which may prompt you to drink again.
