Why It’s OK to Let Alcohol Rehab Interrupt Your Life
Living with alcohol addiction comes with a common side effect: Thinking you can meet your responsibilities, do your job, parent, and socialize, all while maintaining a steady devotion to alcohol. When it becomes clear – to yourself or others – that life isn’t going as smoothly as believed, alcohol rehab is the logical step. Inpatient treatment may not be in your plan, but this choice paves the way for genuine, lasting recovery. Alcohol rehab is not a life interruption, it’s a life reset.
It’s Time for a New Routine
Treatment for alcohol addiction takes time. If you’re the kind of person who depends on a schedule and can’t imagine changing your routine to eliminate alcohol from your life, this is a sign that outside support is needed to reshape your outlook on what’s truly healthy.
Many people claim they can’t take time off from their job or leave their family or pets in someone else’s hands to go to alcohol rehab. These excuses are uttered to avoid the unknown, to avoid what is frightening, to avoid failure – and to avoid success.
There will be difficult and maybe even shameful moments on the path to entering inpatient therapy, but once there, you’ve done the hardest thing – you’ve said yes to interrupting what is familiar and yes to a substance-free life.
The Holistic Route to Recovery from Alcohol Addiction
A significant part of alcohol rehab involves learning how to fill time with healthy activities and diversions, so cravings for and thoughts of alcohol are less tempting. There are tried-and-true recovery methods in holistic therapy customized to each patient’s preferences. During inpatient therapy the offerings can include:
Medical detox
Private therapy
Art and music
Yoga
Equine therapy
Aftercare treatment
For many, fear of judgment from coworkers, friends, family, or neighbors is a deterrent when it comes to entering rehab. Once in the holistic therapy environment though, people are quick to realize how valuable it is to concentrate on their own needs and not worry about the opinions of others. Rehab patients are provided with building blocks to develop coping mechanisms they can use when they leave rehab. Through the above therapies and peer support, your newly structured life makes it possible to re-enter society in a healthy way with clear direction and an established route to ongoing recovery that lets you hold your head high.
You Do Have Time for Alcohol Rehab
While the idea of putting your life on hold for holistic rehab may seem impossible, the key is to rethink the approach to rehab: This is a time when life is rearranged, not stopped. You make the active decision to choose to transform yourself through time dedicated to you and your needs, so you can go back to the people and things you love feeling stronger and better.
Here is what to expect when it comes to time demands for inpatient rehab:
You must take time off work or school to commit to treatment.
Treatment can last between 30 and 90 days.
Housing and meals are provided.
Patients have access to 24/7 medical care.
Bodies under the thrall of addiction are exhausted, overworked, and unhealthy. You need to rest and regroup. Rehab is an opportunity to heal without interruption and under supervision – body and mind – and adjust your outlook on life in an environment removed from triggers and chances of relapse.
The Ongoing Road to Sobriety After Alcohol Rehab
It’s natural to want alcohol addiction to go away immediately once it’s been acknowledged, but managing this circumstance is not as easy as simply wanting a change. Plenty of work is required to live a life free from alcohol, but personalized luxury holistic rehab makes the effort manageable, achievable, and long-lasting.
The thought of inpatient rehab itself may not be what holds people back, but the expectation of what needs to happen after rehab – managing on your own. There is always a chance of relapsing, no matter how long you spend in holistic therapy, no matter how good your intentions. Alcoholism is a chronic, lifelong disease that requires daily attention. The sooner this truth is acknowledged, the easier it will be to make the right choices to maintain sobriety.
