Does rehab for alcoholism help?
Question by nenndre: Does rehab for alcoholism help?
My friend drinks every day for the past 5 years. She just came out to everybody, and wants help. I found couple of places of rehab with a program lasting 30 days. It’s very expensive, so just wanted to know if anybody experienced that and if it helped or not. Thank You.
We also started AA, but not everyday that she needs. She can’t stop drinking on herself eventhough AA makes her happy, and feel better… I think she needs first detox and then AA…
Thank You so much every answear so far was really helpful in thought.

Answer by nickipettis
it helps some people, if they want help, and are ready to change almost everything in their lives.
The benefit of a rehab place is it gets her away from her habits and neighborhood, while she detoxes. other than that one point, I think AA is more useful.
If she goes through the rehab place, then comes back to her “old” life, with the same friends, and doesn’t work to change habits and thinking, the expensive rehab place isn’t worth the huge price.

Question by Mike Fields: Is Alcoholism Really a Disease? Best as I understand it, the idea that alcoholism is a “disease” comes from the popular 12-Step methods (such as Alcoholics Anonymous) so lauded for their ability to help sufferers of alcoholism. But also, best as I understand it, 12-Step programs are made up. Support groups More >

Rehab is a tool to help someone who wants to stop drinking. A person has to want to stop in order for it to help them. If the person really want to stop and it is a everyday thing. Yes a 30 day in patient program would be good.

I haven’t expericened it but if a person id devoted enough then yes it can help. And support your friend..thats a big step involved in overcoming alcoholism. Phycological help could also help too.- to get to the source of why she starting drinking in the first place.

Yes treatment does help. If your friend does not have insurance and lives in the states there are programs that don’t cost as much as the Private ones do and are very good. If you live in the states I can give you some numbers to call God Bless for helping your friend. Reggie

It has helped millions of people and many have not been helped. The most important part is how strongly does your friend want to be helped? If she is really sincere and will allow the program work for her and do what they teach you. You can then stay sober. But it must be her will to be helped.
As good a friend as you are and as much as you want to help, she will have to help herself. She is fortunate to have someone like you who really cares. The money will be well worth it if she plans on going through the program and serious about staying sober.
It is an addiction, just like smoking. And you cannot break the habit unless you really want to and are willing to put forth the effort. Others can support and help you but if she succeeds it will be because she really wanted to quit.

It’s a long hard road to recovery and the person really has to want help otherwise they are just throwing away their money on treatment. There are plenty of support groups out there for after care and should be utilized to the fullest after she gets out. A good support system is the answer to full sobriety and she needs to know that if she’s an alcoholic there can never be “I’m just going to have a couple” after she gets out of treatment it’s a all or none situation, no vacillating or she’ll relapse. How great of a friend are you to be helping her with this you need to be commended for your efforts to help her regain control of her life. I wish the both of you the best of luck with the transitioning

Yes; detox, and rehab, if someone is committed to getting better. Valium is sometimes given, for relief of the symptoms of extreme alcohol withdrawal problems, but should only be used short term, as it can be habituating, or addictive, and needs to be weaned off, slowly.

http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/ There will be a huge void left by its absence, and that void will need filling, so have a plan in place for when you get over the physical withdrawal symptoms. It’s a good idea to avoid your previous associates, and hangouts, at least for a while, so you are not unnecessarily exposing yourself to the temptation to backslide, but, if you do, don’t just give up!
Accept that you are only human, and therefore fallible, but use that failure to re-double your resolve that you won’t allow it to happen again. I used free, online poker, at http://www.partypoker.com/ (DON’T gamble for money: YOU WILL LOSE!!! The house takes a cut, and there are some very good players, some of whom use computer programs, and I suspect the possibility of collusion between certain parties, using second computers and email, or I.M., or phones, and sharing profits).
