NEOVIVA’s approach to alcohol addiction treatment
While the most important initial step is allowing yourself to accept that you have a problem, transitioning from both physical and mental dependency to a healthy lifestyle is a significant challenge, demanding careful attention to each phase of the rehabilitation process. At NEOVIVA, we define four stages in addiction recovery treatment:
1. Initial Consultation
Conducting a thorough addiction assessment is a vital aspect of the rehabilitation process. Individuals struggling with addictions often exhibit a high degree of secrecy, often fueled by fears of legal consequences and societal and familial judgment. Establishing trust is integral to the assessment process. Additionally, substance abuse is likely linked to an underlying mental health disorder. Given this close connection, it is imperative to identify and address any co-occurring mental health disorders simultaneously with the addiction.
2. Supervised Alcohol Detox
Typically, the initial phase involves alcohol detoxification in one of our partner clinics nearby – a process whose necessity will be evaluated during your comprehensive assessment with our medical team before starting treatment at NEOVIVA. This stage may be challenging as your body adjusts to the absence of alcohol, and readjusts to functioning without its constant presence. However, with our caring medical team by your side, you receive continuous support, ensuring a positive experience throughout the journey.
3. Treatment
After detoxification, you will move on to your treatment programme, at NEOVIVA with daily group therapy, psychoeducation,individual counselling and psychotherapy, and creative expression. Additionally, our comprehensive approach integrates mindfulness training through educational groups on addiction and recovery, coupled with body-focused methods for nervous system regulation. Supported by a comprehensive medical and physical assessment, your treatment will be augmented by state-of-the-art methods, such as rTMS, designed to alleviate cravings and enhance mood.
4. Continuing Care
As we strongly believe in the significance of ongoing support, we encourage further progress upon returning home by providing a comprehensive Continuing Care programme after you complete your treatment at NEOVIVA
Frequently Asked Questions
About
Alcohol
How do I know if I am an alcoholic?
If you are unsure about your alcohol consumption, examine how it affects your life. Signs of alcohol abuse include withdrawing from social activities, engaging in risky behavior, feeling unable to control your drinking, and experiencing mood swings or memory issues.
Additionally, needing more alcohol to feel its effects, failing to cut down, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms are indicators. Consulting a healthcare professional can help determine if you suffer from alcohol use disorder.
Can alcoholism be cured?
Alcoholism is a chronic disease, meaning it cannot be “cured” in the traditional sense. However, it can be effectively managed with appropriate treatment and support. Recovery involves a lifelong commitment to abstaining from alcohol and addressing underlying psychological, social, and behavioral issues.
Scientific research has shown that with the right combination of therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication, and support groups, individuals can achieve and maintain long-term sobriety. These treatments help manage cravings, improve coping strategies, and provide a support network. Many people lead fulfilling, sober lives by continuously engaging in these recovery practices.
Can I detox from alcohol on my own?
Detoxing from alcohol on your own is not recommended and can be dangerous. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to severe, including anxiety, tremors, seizures, and even life-threatening conditions like delirium tremens. Medical supervision during detox is crucial to ensure safety and provide necessary interventions.
Professional detox programmes offer a controlled environment where healthcare providers can manage symptoms, provide medications to ease withdrawal, and offer support to prevent relapse. Attempting to detox alone increases the risk of complications and reduces the chances of successful recovery. Seeking professional help is the safest and most effective approach.
About
Treatment
How long does alcohol addition treatment take?
The duration of alcohol addiction treatment varies based on individual needs and circumstances. While a typical stay of around 28 days is recommended for effective change, treatment often extends beyond this period.
Our programmes incorporate peer counselling, support group meetings, and aftercare for at least six months. Long-term recovery is a continuous process, with some clients attending meetings or refresher weeks for years. The specific length of time in rehab depends on factors like the severity of addiction and personal progress. Consulting with professionals will help determine the appropriate duration for your situation.
How does a typical treatment day at NEOVIVA look like?
From breakfast until bedtime, clients at NEOVIVA engage in activities focused on their rehabilitation goals. Group and one-on-one therapy sessions are divided into morning and afternoon blocks. These are complemented by meaningful recreational and leisure activities, providing opportunities to reinforce new skills and strategies.
While our clinical and medical team provides continuous support throughout the day, time is also allocated for personal interests, rest, relaxation, and, if you wish, visits with family and friends. In short, treatment at NEOVIVA is an active process, balancing physical and mental demands with periods of rest.
Can I participate in alcohol addiction treatment as an outpatient?
At NEOVIVA, we do not offer alcohol addiction treatment on an outpatient basis. We believe that a residential setting is crucial for effectively addressing alcohol abuse. This immersive environment provides constant supervision and support, significantly reducing the risk of relapse.
Our intensive inpatient programmes offer a structured routine and immediate access to a wide range of therapeutic interventions, ensuring that all aspects of your addiction and underlying issues are thoroughly addressed. This high level of bespoke care is essential for achieving long-term sobriety and preventing relapse.
