Is A Rehab Clinic Needed to Care for an Alcoholic?

Alcoholism is an addiction which can severely impact those around the drinker as well as the drinker themselves. It is an addiction that should be regarded as very different from prescription medication or illegal drugs, due to the fact that the source of the problems, alcohol, is a very common thing which is a large element of modern life. We ponder if the need for a alcohol rehab clinic is needed with alcoholics moreso than any other addiction.

This presents unique challenges for problem drinkers and also for their carers. Alike all addictions, temptation is prevalent and with alcohol abuse, cravings are just as strong as with any other drug. While indeed those that have substance abuse issues with illicit or prescription medication indeed do struggle with temptation, the temptation associated with alcohol abuse is inescapable and relapse is something which is much more likely to happen in alcohol abuse.

Alcohol is something which is freely available in supermarkets, corner shops, pubs, clubs, and the process of recovering from alcohol abuse is something which will last for the rest of the person’s life. While indeed very many problem drinkers and alcoholics have gone on to lead successful and happy lives after they have kicked the habit, the capacity to relapse with alcoholism is something which simply cannot be understated.

No addiction is a walk in the park, and there is a very real social stigma attached to all of them which can be problematic when it comes to getting help. Alcoholism is no different, and many people may balk at the idea of having care provided by strangers and not part of the immediate family. It is estimated, especially in matters of alcoholism, that the shame of a situation can lead to the problem being covered up and the appropriate support not being offered as result.

Residential rehab clinics such as Salus Withnell Hall in NW England provide a unique solution with the fact that they are isolated and free of temptations such as nearby pubs, clubs or shops, as well as the fact that they provide medically assisted detoxification provides a much safer environment for the process, as well as medically trained professionals at hand to provide support in all forms.

It can be tempting to keep issues with substance misuse in the family, but in order to give those you love the treatment they truly need, residential rebab clinics can be an effective solution.
