Drinking alcohol is so firmly ingrained in American social scenes that it becomes difficult to stop drinking when one realizes that one has a problem. If you need help and want to stop drinking permanently, there is the Palm Beach County alcohol intervention program. You can turn totally dry, but it may require a lot of help and support.
Recognizing When You Have a Problem
Because alcoholism starts with social drinking, it’s hard to separate the social aspect from the drinking problem. A lot of people who have gone through the Palm Beach County alcohol intervention program will tell you that they didn’t think they had a problem. Then they all had an “aha” moment where they realized they needed help.
That moment might look like a DUI, a car accident where you or someone else is badly hurt, or landing in the hospital when you suffer malnutrition because you only drink. Whatever it is for you, you should not feel embarrassed because it tells you in that moment that you need help.
In-Patient Treatment vs. Outpatient Treatment
In-patient treatment helps you dry out. This is the most critical and crucial time for anyone trying to stop using alcohol. Outpatient treatment begins when you have a sponsor and the tools to help you succeed.
It isn’t about will power. It’s about support, and having the right support in your life inside the facility and out. For more information on how to enter the program, contact Drew Horowitz and Associates, LLC.
