Accepting that you or a loved one needs alcohol abuse help may not be easy. But the bottom line truth is that the sooner you get help, the better are your chances for a successful recovery.
There is a thin line between alcohol abuse and alcoholism. In the medical community, alcoholism is defined as a disease, whereas alcohol abuse is not. So, a person may engage in frequent episodes of alcohol abuse -- drinking too much, too often -- without actually being an alcoholic, because he or she is not dependent on alcohol. Alcohol abuse, however, can be just as dangerous to the individual and cause just as many life problems.
An individual with a history of alcohol abuse may not know if he or she is an alcoholic, and it is nearly impossible for that individual to diagnose his or herself. Experts recommend seeking professional alcohol abuse help from a licensed alcohol abuse center such as Renaissance Malibu.
Signs of Alcohol Abuse:
- Failure to fulfill major work, school, or home responsibilities
- Drinking in situations that are physically dangerous, such as while driving a car or operating machinery
- Having recurring alcohol-related legal problems, such as being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or for physically hurting someone while drunk
- Continued drinking despite having ongoing relationship problems that are caused or worsened by the drinking.
If you or a loved one recognizes any of these signs of alcohol abuse in your own life, you may wish to seek alcohol abuse counseling or information on alcohol abuse programs. One of Renaissance Malibu's alcohol abuse professionals is available to answer your questions 24-hours a day at: 888-619-8500.
Renaissance Malibu Alcohol Abuse Programs
The world-class recovery team at Renaissance Malibu alcohol abuse center is committed to the individual's whole being: Mind, Body, Spirit, and Relationships. We utilize many kinds of therapeutic approaches to alcohol abuse ranging from the traditional psychological and 12-step models to alternative methods long proven to assist people in their quest for greater health, happiness and abundance.
Alcohol abuse is often associated with the same emotional conditions and personality disorders as alcoholism, so these must to be uncovered and addressed to bring about the best possible outcome. Each client seeking alcohol abuse help, therefore, will have an initial psychiatric evaluation, and if further testing is indicated, will have access to a Clinical Psychologist. Then, by working with a trained, caring therapist in individual sessions, the client can uncover whatever hidden aspects of his or herself tend to trigger the episodes of alcohol abuse.
At Renaissance Malibu we offer two individual sessions of alcohol abuse counseling per week in addition to other group and individual activities. By providing this balance you have the greatest chance for success.
