The Psychology Behind The Individual’s Addiction

It is necessary to understand the psychology behind the individual’s addiction in order to comprehend why it happens with some individuals and not others. Alcohol addiction affects every individual in different ways. However, the damage not only results physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. Our North Westchester Connecticut rehab for alcoholism is knowledgeable of the fact that addiction stems from depression with most individuals. Addiction is twice as likely to occur with women as it is with men because of depression. Additionally, there are over 10 million individuals suffering from depression today.
When we developed our North Westchester Connecticut rehab for alcoholism
North Westchester Connecticut rehab for alcoholism, we took a number of aspects into consideration, such as demographics and the substances they are addicted to. After our clients have been interviewed and evaluated, we customize a rehab treatment and recovery program that targets their specific emotional, mental, and physical needs. This is the primary reason why our facility has one of the highest success rates in the country (average 70 %+).
70%+ success
Our
North Westchester Connecticut rehab for alcoholism boasts a 70%+ success rate whereas the traditional treatment and recovery facilities have much lower success rates because they still rely on these conventional therapies that just don’t work. Granted, the individual may leave that facility clean and sober. However, since they do not teach the individual how to maintain their new lifestyle, they oftentimes relapse and become addicted to alcohol again. Alcohol addiction is a powerful force and the traditional inpatient programs and therapies are not effective at treating the psychology behind the person’s addiction.
Misconceptions About Addiction
There are numerous misconceptions about addiction, the most common of which is that individuals who have never had a problem with substances assume that the addicted individual would be deterred from using again because detox is such an unpleasant experience. This is a false assumption because substance addiction is an allergy to the body as well as an obsession of the mind. It is the failure of other
North Westchester Connecticut rehab for alcoholism to recognize the psychology behind the addiction, which explains why there is such a high failure rate with their clients.
Another benefit
Another benefit of being treated at our North Westchester Connecticut rehab for alcoholism is that the client progresses continually so that they are able to handle increasingly more responsibility until they can once again be a part of their community. This also entails helping those around them as they interact with other clients undergoing residential treatment and recovery. The bottom line is that they have learned how to live without alcohol once they have completed our residential treatment and recovery program.

Traditional North Westchester Connecticut rehab for alcoholism
The traditional rehabs out there only experience a 20% success rate which means that 80% of their clients who leave the facility usually relapse once they return to their communities. We teach our clients to address three key elements necessary so that they rehabilitate successfully and remain clean and sober for life - Accountability, Responsibility, and Time. They are held accountable, accept the responsibility for their addiction and its consequences, and learn that their addiction did not occur overnight so the recovery process could take years as a result.
