Alcohol Treatment Program: a Multi-Faceted Approach

Alcoholism takes a terrible toll.  You may feel like your life is a jigsaw puzzle that’s coming apart.  No matter how hard you try to keep it together, things keep getting scarier.  It doesn’t have to be this way.
                    
There is help for alcoholics!  At Paradise Recovery’s alcohol rehab program, we believe that alcoholism, along with other addictions, should be treated by addressing the root causes, “stinkin’” thinking, triggers, and co-occurring illnesses that may be preventing you from living a life of sobriety.  This means that your alcohol treatment program is going to have a multi-faceted, integrated approach in which you will experience many types of therapeutic interventions.  Therefore, we don’t “hammer” you with one approach as some other treatment programs are known to do.  Instead, we work as a team with you to fight addiction on many different battlefronts.  A multi-faceted disease requires a multi-faceted treatment approach.  This is partially what is meant by a holistic treatment program.  Many different types of high quality treatment combine in a seamless and integrated way to put you on the path of sustained recovery!

When you come to Paradise Recovery for alcohol treatment or rehab, you have chosen an alcohol treatment program that heals you from both the inside as well as the outside.  Your physical, emotional, spiritual, and cognitive realms will all take part in the healing process through our multi-faceted approach.

Alcohol Addiction is Devastating for Everyone

Usually well before seeking alcohol rehab, the alcoholic has already been through tremendous upheaval in their life.  Addiction is a devastating illness, not just for the people suffering from it, but also for their families and loved ones.  At first, the addict feels like their drinking or drug use is something that they can control.  They quit, they relapse, they quit again.  But relapse seems to be right around the corner, despite a strong will and desire to stop.  The person suffering from the addiction often feels shame due to their string of broken promises.  In addition to the shame, they feel like they must be a weak person because they can’t seem to stop.  They don’t seem to have control.  On top of that, they lie in order to hide their addiction from loved ones and co-workers, usually to be “found out” later.  Shame gets compounded upon more shame.  Obviously, it is extraordinarily frustrating for everyone involved.  When addiction plays itself out, it can destroy families and ruin lives.

Causes of Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol addiction, not surprisingly, is one of the most common types of addiction seen in this country.  Alcohol is a chemical that acts as a depressant on key receptors in the brain and can be highly addictive, given certain predisposing factors.

It is known that genetics, family history, anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood issues, and other factors can contribute to or cause a person to develop an addiction to alcohol.  Generally, we believe that alcoholism is a disease.  However, it is a disease that is quite treatable. Given the correct methods and the right people involved in your treatment, combined with your hard work and continued effort, you can soon be living a life free of alcohol.  A life of sobriety, hope, and truly feeling alive again!  Give us a call on our toll-free number right now to find out how we are able to help you.
