Alcohol Addiction - Comprehensive Treatment

Alcohol is considered to be a social drug and it is acceptable to consume in just about any public area. Very few people even think about alcohol as a drug or about the addictive nature of the substance when they are consuming it.

More and more people are however coming clean about their dependence on the substance and are seeking alcohol addiction treatment. It is important to note that not every person who consumes alcohol will become addicted and need alcohol addiction treatment to stop drinking.

Neither can every person who has an occasional drink or even binge drinks rarely be considered to be an alcoholic. Each person reacts differently to the substance and some genetic markers for alcoholism has been identified. This means that alcoholism is a disease and that it comprehensive alcohol addiction treatment must be used to alleviate the symptoms.

Alcohol addiction treatment is not just about detoxifying the body and quitting drinking. The treatment is an ongoing therapy that an alcoholic must employ every hour of every day for the rest of their lives to enable to live independently of the substance.

Alcohol abuse affects the liver and kidneys and in extreme cases can lead to mass organ failure and death. But the greatest impact of alcoholism is on the people who have to live, work and socialise with an alcoholic. Alcoholics are prone to erratic mood swings and can display aggressive behaviour.

They also spend a lot of time hung over and cannot function normally or perform basic daily tasks. As part of alcohol addiction treatment, an alcoholic is taught to seek forgiveness from any person he or she may have harmed physically, emotionally or mentally.

We will do whatever it takes ...

SCRC's approach is aimed at facilitating change from the culture of addiction to the culture of recovery.

This process will yield limited success when approached outside of a residential treatment facility particularly when detoxification is required. It is imperative that individuals entering treatment are given as much training and education as possible.
