Alcohol rehab can be the key ingredient to alcohol addiction recovery and in a person remaining sober. How alcohol rehab impacts a person will depend on the person’s mentality about rehab and their strength in overcoming their withdrawal symptoms.
Why People Need Alcohol Rehab
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, drug addiction is a chronic illness that takes over a person’s ability to control their drug cravings. When a person is addicted to a drug, such as alcohol, they will have powerful drug cravings and uncontrollable drug seeking behavior that will continue to occur despite of the consequences.
Furthermore, addiction is a brain disease that affects multiple circuits in a person’s brain, which includes those circuits that are involved in control over behavior, motivation and reward, and learning and memory.
When a person forms an addiction to alcohol they will abuse the substance frequently and they will have uncontrollable urges to continually use the drug. Alcohol addiction typically leads to alcohol dependency, which is when a person will feel abnormal and sick if they do not have alcohol in their body. They will feel this way because their body will begin to go through withdrawal every time they do not have alcohol in their system.
The withdrawal symptoms from alcohol can be intense and can be painful, which is why many people need help to get through them. Going to a rehab can help a person get through the withdrawal symptoms while receiving the help they need to manage their addiction.
What Alcohol Rehab is Really Like and How it Helps
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, since the 1970s scientific research shows that treatment programs can help patients addicted to drugs avoid relapse, stop using, and successfully improve their lives. Research also indicates that there are several key principles that should form the basis of effective treatment, one of these principles is that effective treatment needs to attend to the multiple needs of the person in question.
Alcohol rehab is the treatment needed for people to successfully overcome their brain disease of alcohol addiction. When a person first admits themselves into rehab they will begin to go through alcohol detox. Alcohol detox can be extremely difficult, but an alcohol rehab will help a person get through the physical withdrawal symptoms, and will make sure that they have a safe detox. If the physical withdrawal symptoms become too painful for a person, the rehab’s doctors may prescribe a person some medication to help through the physical symptoms.
In addition, a person in rehab can expect to have counseling sessions. Counseling and therapy are very important because a person will go through psychological withdrawal symptoms, and since addiction is a chronic brain disease a person will need help learning how to regain control of their life again. Alcohol rehab will work with a person every step of the way to ensure that a person receives the results they want and learns to live a life free from alcohol abuse.
