THIS HAS TO STOP

Posted by Indra Cidambi on March 9th, 2018

Millions of people around the world are struggling with addiction to alcohol, but many are also successful at conquering their dependence on alcohol.
 
In order to fully recover from addiction to alcohol, an individual must be committed to a life-style change.  This is going to be one of the biggest challenges for them However, with discipline, courage and determination to make a change and stick with it, they have a good chance of living a life free of substance abuse.
 
Addiction does not discriminate and it afflicts peoples of all classes.  
 
Addiction treatment centers in New Jersey have helped numerous individuals afflicted by the disease of addiction, more so by outpatient detoxification and rehab centers.
 
If you or a loved one has experienced a downward spiral in life due to dependence on alcohol or drugs, entering treatment at the earliest is imperative. Maybe you or the loved one is trying to quit on their own but experience withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, profuse sweating, shakes or tremors. Trying to stop drinking alcohol on your own could be dangerous as withdrawal symptoms can lead to seizures or stroke.  
 
I would strongly recommend admitting yourself to a detoxification facility for alcohol treatment in Nj, preferable outpatient, as outcomes are better. Addiction treatment centers will address the withdrawal symptoms and cravings with medication and ensure a safe detoxification from alcohol. Outpatient detoxification centers will also enable you to practice coping skills and relapse prevention techniques in your living environment daily to enable you to integrate smoothly into the real world. They will also bring in the family and educate them about the disease of addiction so that you will enjoy an elevated level of support at home.  During alcohol withdrawal sweating , anxiety, agitation and headache are quite common.
 
The common goal of all addiction treatment facilities is to help the patient make a full recovery from substance abuse. It is important to realize that professional help is critical in making a recovery. Addiction has a negative impact on the whole family and each member of the family has to face the negative consequences.  
 
It is painful for family members to watch the life of their loved one spiral out of control. And, worse, they do not understand enough about the disease to be truly helpful or supportive. This is why education about the disease is key for the family, and outpatient detoxification centers, also called as ambulatory detox centers, are better at integrating loved ones into treatment.  
 
If you have a friend or a family member who is addicted to alcohol, “now” is always the best time to get them into treatment and help them regain control of their life.
