Clinic for alcohol addicts: stages of alcoholism

Medical clinic “Transformation” provides comprehensive treatment and subsequent rehabilitation of alcohol addicts, using the latest technology. In our work we use all kinds of ways to get rid of alcoholism, including consultations of psychotherapists and individual selection of medicines.

For a complete recovery of the patient, it is necessary to examine both his physical and mental state. We conduct studies of vital internal organs and systems for their damage due to regular exposure to alcoholic beverages (liver, heart, central nervous system, kidneys, etc.).

Depending on how quickly a person became addicted to alcohol, effective treatment will be selected in a hospital or outpatient. Some people who are able to control themselves can only come to procedures that are assigned by the leading specialist. Others need round-the-clock supervision of specialists.

There are three main stages of dependence on alcohol.

1. Easy stage. Dependence is formed at the mental level. The intake of alcohol and even the desire to use it causes euphoria and enthusiasm in the patient, so he is looking for any reason to drink. In the future, the level of tolerance to alcoholic beverages increases, and a person can consume it in large quantities. The degree of criticality to the quality of alcoholic beverages is reduced.
2. Physical dependency formation stage. The most characteristic symptom is the appearance of withdrawal symptoms (hangover). Craving for alcoholic beverages increases to an extreme level. There are pronounced mood swings due to the lack of opportunity to drink. Drinking binges may appear, which usually last 1-2 weeks.
3. The stage of complete dependence and degradation of the personality. A person does not care that he needs to work, go after children, go on business, he is looking for alcohol just to drink. Withdrawal syndrome is actively developing, constant memory lapses appear, which can cover a long period. Problems begin in the work of the cardiovascular system, pain in the liver, gastrointestinal tract, mental disorders appear, instability of behavioral reactions is observed.

However, it is worth remembering about such a concept as “pseudo-alcoholism”. This type of dependence can manifest itself with characteristic symptoms, but is temporary and manifests itself only in severe stressful situations. As a rule, such people drink while there is an opportunity, but after that they can independently return themselves to normal and do not give up work, hobbies, relatives.

The price of alcoholism treatment in the clinic “Transformation” depends on how neglected the situation is, and how much work the specialists have to do.

How rehabilitation takes place: stages of treatment

Rehabilitation should be carried out in a complex manner, since it is necessary not only to remove alcohol from the patient’s body and remove the craving for it, but also to help the person realize that there is a problem and it is important to get rid of it. Often people hide their cravings, consider it shameful, do not want to be treated, denying the existence of a problem. It is the psychologists and psychotherapists of the “Transformation” center for alcohol addicts who, by conducting group and personal classes with clients, help to understand that alcohol destroys life. Many of the latest exposure methods are used for work. Treatment takes place in three stages: detoxification, psychological processing of the problem, socialization.

1. Detoxification is the first and most important stage. It is necessary in order to suppress the withdrawal syndrome, to remove the remaining alcohol and accumulated toxic elements from the body. Thanks to this, it is possible to prevent the development of complications in the form of impaired functioning of human organs. Thanks to medical treatment, the general condition of the patient improves, and it is also possible to relieve him of a painful hangover and the patient in the process of getting out of drinking.
2. Addictologists and psychologists help patients to understand the essence of the problem, to understand its root causes and the danger posed by further alcohol consumption. In the course of the work, solution paths and effective methods that are suitable for each client are individually selected. At this stage, new goals in life are formed, psychological attitudes are given for the future, with the aim of helping to get rid of the desire to drink even in difficult situations.
3. Socialization of the patient is also an important stage in the treatment. It is necessary to teach a person who has given up family, work, and going out with friends because of alcohol to contact people again. This stimulates the development of the desire to work, find a hobby, and improve one’s social and material condition. Thanks to such a process, a barrier is created that does not allow relapses to occur.

Further rehabilitation takes place under the supervision of a specialist on an outpatient basis to monitor the patient’s condition after receiving all the necessary assistance.
