In Vereises Clinic, alcohol dependence treatment is proposed, both in the Clinic and as an external program. An intensive Program of Atomic Psychological Dependence is also being implemented, as well as combating coexistence, ie the existence of addiction accompanied by a mental disorder.
One of the key elements of the onset of the healing process is Diagnosis of the problem.
Good and in-depth tracking as well as use of tests can help the specialist easily determine the diagnosis and stage of the person seeking help.
But the big problem faced by the family and the drinking environment is the moment when the person himself will recognize his problem to ask for help. This is imperative because if the addict is not aware of his or her condition he / she does not first ask for help, and secondly when the healing effort begins he / she can not participate in his / her detoxification.
THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION
The therapeutic intervention involves two phases:
1. Body detoxification
2. Psychological detoxification
SOMATIC DECORATION
The first phase seeks to address the withdrawal symptoms that may occur when drink drinking is reduced or stopped.
Below are some of the major symptoms of deprivation syndrome:
Symptoms of the autonomic central nervous system
- Tachycardia
- Fast-paced
- Terror of hands
- Intense and involuntary movements of the eyelids
Gastrointestinal Symptoms
- Motion sickness
- Vomiting
- Anorexia
Psychological Symptoms
- Tinkering
- Anxiety
- Nervousness
- Irritability
- Sleep disturbances
Central Nervous System Symptoms
- Epileptic seizures
- Delirium tremens
The serious complications of alcohol deprivation syndrome are the appearance of grand mal seizures and the alcoholic deprivation disorder known as "scary delirium" - Delirium Tremens.
THERAPEUTIC FRAMEWORK
Treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome has two main goals.
a) Helping the patient to cope with his / her withdrawal symptoms in a safe and as unpleasant manner as possible.
b) Strengthen its motivations and efforts to stay clear of alcohol.
The treatment of withdrawal symptoms can be done in the following ways:
1. External base
It is applied when the person declares readiness to participate in the treatment, also when the symptoms are mild or moderate and there is a family or other supportive system.
2. Closed inpatient hospitalization
It is applied when the outpatient therapeutic efforts have often failed when the individual states that he is unable to do the program on his own, when a family or other supportive system is absent when the symptoms are serious, as well as psychopathology or suicidal ideation.
Proper assessment of the severity of the symptoms is particularly helpful in determining the appropriate therapeutic intervention.
ALL-DAY NURSES IN THE CLINICAL WEEK (UP TO 7 DAYS)
Following the history and determination of the stage of alcohol abuse / dependence and the severity of possible withdrawal symptoms, the therapeutic design includes:
1. Pharmaceutical intervention (benzodiazepines, nootropa, hydration, vitamins, etc.)
2. Psychotherapeutic intervention - personal counseling, motivation enhancement, mobilization of the family system.
Treatment in the clinic, under normal conditions - without the possible complications from other systems and organs of the human body - lasts for up to 7 days.
Biological defense to prevent recurrence of alcohol abuse is achieved by the administration of NALTREXONE pill.
PSYCHOLOGICAL EXCLUSION / REHABILITATION
After treating the symptoms of withdrawal syndrome, the alcohol user goes into the second and most important phase of the healing process, ie rehabilitation and rehabilitation.
The goal during this phase is to reduce the desire for alcohol and prevent relapse.
At the stage of the entire effort made by the dependent member to abstain from alcohol, it is very important that the family system is involved in any program that follows.
"STEP BY STEP"
STRUCTURED INTENSIVE INDIVIDUAL THERAPEUTIC DISCHARGE PROGRAM FROM ALCOHOL
Alcohol abuse can lead some people to the development of psychological and psychiatric problems, which are often needed to tackle with medication.
Psychological dexterity and continued abstinence from the user require participation in a psychological support program.
The STEP BY STEP program is a structured individual Dependency program based on rational - emotional and behavioral therapy.
It can be applied at any stage of use.
It is applied to very regular individual meetings (applied based on the needs of the patient) by a trained psychologist lasting one and a half hours.
The program with the successful assimilation of the previous step is implemented gradually and covers STEP BY STEP the following main aspects:
