Are alcohol treatment programs really effective??
Question: One of our relatives recently visited us. Since he has a bar in the city, he can't help but discuss things about alcoholic beverages. He even told my dad that alcohol treatments aren't really true. Claims that alcoholism can be cured are simply lies, he said. Is he correct? 'Coz I've also heard that my classmate's dad underwent alcohol treatment but had a relapse not long after.
Answers: Your relative was partially right and partially wrong. Indeed, there are claims that they can cure alcoholism but failed to fulfill their promises. Those are the rehab centers with ineffective programs, if not fraud at all. But the duly recognized rehab centers, especially those with certification from the government, can assist alcoholics to recover from addiction. However, that does not mean that all programs can be equally effective to all the patients. Everything is still anchored not only on the program but on the other variables such as the social support and resources as well. The biggest factor, however, remain to be the alcoholic's commitment to recover from his condition. In the record of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, one third of the number of treated alcoholics have been sober for one year but had a relapsed after. The other 40% are apparently doing better, however, their occasional drinking has often led to relapse. Hence, there isn't really a single perfect program to suit all cases. As patient cases vary, so as the programs, too. But there are components which can improve each program. These components shall be added based on the needs of the patients.
Most individuals will relapse, the treatment cannot be short term, but include long term treatment measures. Treatment for your relative most likely will not work as he is set in the viewpoint that it is worthless and will not work. He is basically telling everyone he has no desire to change, and therefore without extreme measures happening, he won't. In order for treatment to work the client has to have the desire to change their behavior.
Alcoholism can't be cured. If you are an alcoholic, you do not have the ability to choose to stop at one drink. Your body will always have a craving for alcohol. You will always need a drink.
What alcohol treatment programs try to do is to resist that craving and avoid taking that first drink. The purpose is to teach you that you can't stop with just one drink so you can't take that first drink. It also helps in recognizing the choice you make that increase the exposure to alcohol and make it harder to resist that first drink.
Obviously, some programs work better than others. More importantly, different techniques fit different people better. Finally, relapse is part of any addiction. The question is how quickly can the addict get back to sobriety.
it can't be cured but it can be controlled . a person must have the will to change
