Alcohol Rehabilitation (often drug Rehab or just Rehabilitation) is an umbrella term for the processes of medical and/or psychotherapeutic treatment, for dependency on psychoactive substances such as alcohol, prescription drugs, and so-called street drugs such as cocaine, heroin or amphetamines and more. The general Alcohol Rehabilitation or any other drug is to enable the patient to be substance free, in order to avoid the psychological, legal, financial, social, and physical consequences that can be caused, especially by extreme abuse.

Rehabilitation Two-fold nature

Alcohol Rehabilitation tends to address a stated twofold nature of drug dependency: physical and psychological dependency. Physical dependency involves a detoxification process to cope with withdrawal symptoms from regular use. With regular use of alcohol, the brain gradually adapts to its presence so the desired effect is minimal. Apparently normal functioning of the user may be observed, despite being under the influence. This is how physical tolerance develops to any drug such as Marijuana, heroin, amphetamines, cocaine, nicotine not just alcohol. It also explains why more is needed to get the same effect with regular use. The abrupt cessation of taking a alcohol or a drug can lead to withdrawal symptoms where the body may take weeks or months (depending on alcohol or what type drug involved) to return to normal. Alcohol Rehabilitation is usually very important in becoming clean.

Psychological dependency

Psychological dependency is addressed in many Alcohol Rehabilitation programmes by attempting to teach the patient new methods of interacting in an alcohol and drug-free environment. In particular, patients are generally encouraged or required not to associate with friends who still use the addictive substance. Twelve-step programs encourage addicts not only to stop using alcohol or other drugs, but to examine and change habits related to their addictions. Many programmes emphasize recovery is a permanent process without culmination. For legal drugs such as alcohol, complete abstention—rather than attempts at moderation, which may lead to relapse—is also emphasized ("One drink is too many; one hundred drinks is not enough.") Whether moderation is achievable by those with a history of abuse remains a controversial point but is generally considered unsustainable.

Types of rehab treatments

Various types of programmes offer help in alcohol rehabilitations, including: residential treatment (in-patient), out-patient, local support groups, extended care centers, and sober houses. Newer rehabilitation centers offer age and gender specific programmes.

Teen Challenge offers Wilkerson House Rehabilitation Center in London for men only and Hope House Rehabilitation Center in Wales is for women. Both are residential and the programme term is 12 months. The programme is FREE to enter, for more information you will need to complete an online application form.

Rehab Counselling

Traditional alcohol addiction treatment is based primarily on counselling. However, recent discoveries have shown those suffering from addiction often have chemical imbalances that make the recovery process more difficult. Often, these imbalances may be corrected through improved diet, nutritional supplements and leading a healthy lifestyle. Some of the more innovative centers are now offering a "Biochemical Restoration" process to supplement the counseling’s portion of treatment.

We offer FREE a 12 month Rehabilitation course with one to counseling.
