The Psychology Behind The Individual’s Addiction

psychology of addictionIt 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 District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab 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.

Recovery Tools

Recovery ToolsWe provide our clients with specific “recovery tools” here at our District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab which the more traditional facilities do not. We teach our clients three key aspects of the treatment and recovery process which includes the accountability, responsibility, and time factors. Take into consideration the following:
  • The Accountability Factor – our District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab teaches our clients that they need to hold themselves accountable for their addictive behavior and the consequences that have resulted from their actions.
  • The Responsibility Factor – our clients learn to accept the responsibility of their addictive behavior as well as the damage that has resulted during the addiction process and how they have been affected by it emotionally, mentally, and physically.
  • The Time Factor – when you consider the fact that most addictions don’t result overnight, it’s important for the client to realize that the treatment and recovery process won’t occur overnight either. Their addiction may have taken many years to develop to the stage it was in when they initially entered our District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab.

Traditional District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab

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.

70%+ success

Our District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab 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.

Entering District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab

 District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab Any time an addicted individual enters our District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab, they are usually interviewed and then evaluated as to the extent of the addiction so that we can formulate a treatment and recovery program for them that will enable them to get clean and sober. Additionally, we schedule educational classes for them so that they learn how to remain substance-free for life while maintaining their new, healthier lifestyle.

Why Alcohol Dependencies Occur

Here at our District Of Columbia holistic alcohol rehab, we do not look at alcohol addiction as an incurable disease like other traditional facilities tend to do. We are well aware that most alcohol dependencies occur as a result of one or more of the following:
  • bad experiences from the past as well as unresolved events
  • chemical imbalances that exist in the individual’s brain
  • the individual’s inability to cope with certain situations in life
  • individual beliefs which are inconsistent with ones that are actually true
