Disturbingly enough, alcoholism is one of the most socially accepted diseases in America, meaning that many people suffer from this disease; however, society accepts the prevalence of alcoholism far more than other forms of substance abuse. For instance, many college students are expected to partake in huge amounts of alcohol consumption once they’re of age in America (and sometimes, even when they are underage). In fact, many people view this overabundance of alcohol intake as a right of passage into adulthood.

Not only that, but our commercials and billboards are filled with countless advertisements for a variety of alcoholic beverages. To make things worse, nearly every corner in America features at least one liquor store ready to facilitate the needs of anyone inflicted with the disease known as alcoholism.

Safely Treat Your Alcoholism By Using Detox

So how do you treat your alcoholism? One of the biggest mistakes that people make when attempting to treat their disease is by simply quitting cold turkey. While this method may work for some people, others are advised to seek out professional help through detoxing. Having the supervision of trained professionals will increase your chances of defeating your addiction. Remember, your brain is heavily influenced by your alcoholism so you’re going to need all of the help you can get to combat this disease. Not only will a detox program keep you within an alcohol-free environment, but you’ll also learn valuable tactics to combat your urges.

Detoxing will essentially purge the alcohol from your system and you’ll feel physically and mentally better afterward. This will not, of course, purge all temptation from your body, but you’ll notice a drastic change in clarity. Remember: there is no shame in seeking professional help for your disease. Similar to if someone was to break a limb or contract the common cold, detoxing is a medical procedure that is meant to cleanse your body of the negative effects from your alcoholism. But don’t forget: detoxing is only one step on your path towards recovery.

Seek Out Support Groups For Your Alcoholism

Even long after your detox and recovery programs, you’re going to want to enlist into a support group. Having likeminded people who embrace their sobriety will help you maintain your own. You’ll be able to meet new people and discover new hobbies that will help fight any temptations you may have to drink alcohol. Your chances of relapsing are severely reduced when still with support groups that have your best interest in mind. You’ll feel a sense of normalcy as you attempt to reintegrate into society once more.

  • I have remained sober and it is because of DP. DP is the best place there is, hands down. I keep everyone there in my prayers, and I encourage everyone there to take what they are practicing and do it in their lives, after.

  • Discovery Place means the world to me. They showed me the tools that I’ve tried to use everyday in my life to think less often of myself, and more frequently of others. I am learning to lend a hand when I am able and to have a honest and humble relationship with God and the people around me. Not only am I clean and sober, but also I am happy and fulfilled.

  • When I got to Discovery Place my whole life was in shambles, but I didn’t know it. I spent 6 months in their programs, participating in all three phases, and was met with kindness and love all along the way. It is unbelievable to me, where I am now relative to where I was when I arrived at DP.

  • I can never say enough good things about Discovery Place and the people who work there. Before checking in to DP, I was out of options and out of answers. Fortunately, Discovery Place has a solution. Taking suggestions from the staff at DP saved my life, and as a result, I’m now more content and hopeful about life. I’m grateful for Discovery Place showing me how to live a healthy life so that I can become a better man and help the next guy.”
