Recovering from Alcoholism – what does it entail?<\/h3>
26 June, 2020<\/span>Articles, News<\/span><\/div>\n

Alcoholism, according to the disease model of recovery, is a chronic illness that causes trauma on a number of different levels, not only in the life of the alcoholic, but in the lives of everyone with whom they come into contact. Recovery from alcoholism<\/a>, in many regards, involves a multi-pronged approach. What we know about this form of addiction is that there is no one, simple way of recovery. In fact, the recovering alcoholic will be faced with many choices and important changes that are crucial to whether he\/she will recover in the long-term. This includes the kind of people with whom they choose to associate, the places they visit and even the activities in which they engage. Recovery is a lifelong, life-changing process, but we encourage recovering alcoholics to think of their process as a “one day at a time,” experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the level of alcohol in the individual’s system, a detoxification process may be required. It is important that this process is facilitated and monitored by a medical professional who is able to check the client’s vital signs and ensure that the process is as comfortable as possible. The nature and length of this process will depend entirely on the physical and mental state of the individual client. We therefore treat each detox process on a case-by-case basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After detox, the client will join the rest of the therapeutic community in group sessions. The goal of treatment<\/a> at Crossroads Recovery Centres is to help our clients build foundations for long-term abstinence. This involves focusing on making changes in the way recovering alcoholics live their lives, face problems and relate to themselves and the world around them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many, recovering from alcoholism may not seem possible, but we believe that one day at a time, one step at a time, it can become a reality. We understand the importance of building a support network that extends beyond the treatment programme, which is why we deem it imperative to introduce recovering alcoholics to the Alcoholics Anonymous <\/a>12 step fellowship during their time at the facility. This ensures that they have a long-term plan for recovery and that after treatment, they have the support they need to live free from the clutches of alcoholism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
