How We Treat Alcohol Addiction
Individual Therapy
Good Landing Recovery Detox is staffed by professionals who have a well-wounded understanding of addiction and are ready to help those who are ready to help themselves. We treat alcohol addiction using many of the same tools we use to address any type of addiction. Our patients work one-on-one with our experienced counselors to evaluate the life experiences that have led them to abuse alcohol. For more, drinking is a symptom of a deeper problem. Some may drink as a way to escape. Others may drink to overcome their social anxiety. The alcohol itself isn’t the primary problem. It is the reason why they drink that needs to be addressed for them to live a sober life.
Group Therapy
Patients will also work together in group therapy to discuss their concerns with each other and with the counselor. Developing support with other recovering addicts will help them transition into a program such as AA after completing their time at Good Landing. This group setting can often form a lifelong support system for many GLR clients.
Partial Hospitalization
Our partial hospitalization program offers those addicted to alcohol a chance to transform their life by attending programs during the week. By spending most of the day at Good Landing and returning home for the night, patients can reduce overall treatment costs. This program is an intensive alcohol recovery system, but it does rely on the discipline of the patient. They must be ready to transform their lives by remaining sober at night and during the weekend.
Outpatient Rehab
Our outpatient rehab program is not as intensive as partial hospitalization, but it still makes use of therapy and life coaching. Our overall goal is to assist your loved one and your family adjusts to sobriety. It is a challenging path to walk for everyone involved. Trust must be rebuilt. Changes must be made. But by choosing to enroll in our outpatient program, your loved one will show that they’re willing to make those changes.
Alcohol Addiction Defined
From the addict’s perspective, there’s nothing wrong with them. To them, they’re simply enjoying a drink to unwind, relieve stress, and have fun. Some may view their drinking as a part of their social activities. Others may insist they don’t have an alcohol problem because they drink at home by themselves. There are many different excuses for their alcohol consumption but that’s all they are – excuses. Unfortunately, until they recognize that their drinking is the problem, they won’t be ready to willingly attend alcohol rehab.
Alcoholism can be loosely defined as having no control over alcohol use. This can involve drinking to excess daily, weekly, or even as little as once or twice a month. It can also include a lack of excessive drinking but the need to drink every day after work or during a meal. The key factor isn’t necessarily when someone is drinking or how much they’re drinking, but that they have no willingness to stop.
A Few Determining Factors
There are many factors that can determine whether someone is an alcoholic or not, including:
- Drinking more alcohol than planned
- Drinking for a longer amount of time than planned
- Tring and failing to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed
- Having a craving to drink
- Allowing alcohol to take precedence over family, work, or school
- Blacking out or feeling hungover on a regular basis
- Choosing alcohol over other hobbies and activities
- Continuing to drink despite having a health issue or other related problems
- Needing to drink more and more to get the same effect
- Showing signs of alcohol withdrawal when attempting to stop
