Effective Alcohol Rehab Options

Trying to determine which treatment center is right for you or a loved one can be daunting, especially when it seems that every one proclaims to be the best. Consulting a private therapist - or several - for treatment recommendations can produce options you may not have known about or previously considered.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism confirms that treatment options which utilize behavioral modification techniques significantly reduce alcohol consumption, as compared with treatments that focus on detox or pharmaceutical rehabilitation methods alone.

Traditional Alcohol Rehab Options

Detox - intentional withdrawal from alcohol and drugs in a controlled, supervised environment

Prescription medications - benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and related anxiety; naltrexone (ReViaT) reduces alcohol's effects (and therefore a client's cravings) by binding to the brain's opioid receptors; disulfiram (Antabuse) induces negative reactions like dizziness, flushing, nausea, and vomiting whenever alcohol is consumed

Outpatient counseling - addiction education with a focus on the emotional and behavioral triggers that lead to drinking, along with avoidance and coping strategies

Alcoholics Anonymous - specialized support program based around the 12 steps of recovery and sobriety

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - therapist assisted analysis and removal of ineffective assumptions, negative feelings, and automatic reactions, replaced with logical, healthy ways of thinking and acting

Motivation Enhancement Therapy - client-centered therapy that seeks to align current behaviors with personal life goals utilizing the client's internal motivating desire for change

Family counseling - therapeutic assistance for families with loved ones addicted to alcohol that may include parenting and childcare classes, legal assistance, job skills training, financial management, and other community resources
