Alcoholism treatment must involve the
mind and body because in that alcoholism is a disease, alcoholism
treatment must heal this disease. Alcoholism treatment worth
anything accepts the widely accepted medical finding that
alcoholism is a progressive disease that will always get worse
if left untreated. Alcoholism treatment never passes moral
judgments or makes clients feel guilty about poor choices.
Doctors would never criticize a patient who had diabetes and
alcoholism treatment should be no different. There are four
symptoms alcoholism treatment must address: mental cravings,
loss of control, physical dependence and tolerance.
Spencer Recovery Centers have been treating
alcoholism for over 10 years. We are constantly fine-tuning
our program with the most effective methods based on the latest
scientific evidence. With an on staff medical doctor and psychologist
we approach each of the symptoms for the most effective alcoholism
treatment around.
The physical effects of alcoholism include withdrawal
symptoms such as tremors, sweats, loss of coordination, exhaustion
and irritability. A physical exam is a necessary part of alcoholism
treatment in order to identify problems with the liver, stomach
or other physical ailments. Often drinkers can be unaware
of serious medical conditions because they are covered up
by the analgesic effects of alcohol.
Our psychologist addresses the emotional and
destructive thought patterns that need to be reversed in alcoholism
treatment. Frequently, emotional disorders are either covered
up by drinking or made worse by drinking. Spencer Recovery
Centers has a whole team of licensed counselors that can help
reshape thinking patterns and help our clients identify problems
early before they develop into a crisis. This is achieved
through a cognitive-behavioral approach. Once again addressing
the mind as well as the body for effective alcoholism treatment.
Individual counseling along with group therapy and family
sessions if appropriate are a cornerstone to recovery.
Clearly one does not have to be a full blown
alcoholic to experience problems. Alcoholism treatment can
save years worth of problems, pain and consequences by catching
alcohol abuse early before it develops into dependence.
Spencer Recovery Centers offer a wide variety
of programs to suit the needs of our clients. Inpatient residential
treatment, sober-living, outpatient follow-up, teen family
programs, and specialized behavioral disorder treatment are
all part of the services offered by Spencer.
If you or a loved one has felt that they should
cut down their drinking but finds that they are not able to
despite repeated attempts and promises, please give us a call.
Alcoholism is not to be toyed with. Treatment is much easier
when caught early and if you have a loved one who seems unwilling
to get help, Spencer has intervention services available as
well. Many clients come to us through our own interventions
and studies by the Department of Health show that treatment
does not have to begin willingly in order to take hold and
be effective. Please call us today if you have any questions
or want to find out how to be admitted into this program.

to hearing from you.
