Alcohol Rehab Program

There is a fine line when it comes to alcohol addiction. In most situations, drinking of alcoholic beverages is an acceptable behavior. Many people can enjoy the calming effects that alcohol has to offer and enjoy it in many social situations. However to some the lines are blurred on what is acceptable drinking and alcohol abuse. Addiction is something that simply grows and grows the more you abuse to feel the desired effects. Shortly after that a little alcohol abuse now again may escalate into a drinking problem or alcoholism.

The Proven Alcohol Rehab Program

Everyone has an understanding of the 12-step program. The 12-step program has been a proven alcohol rehab program for nearly seventy years. Originally derived by two recovering alcoholics in Akron Ohio, the 12-step program is the foundation of many alcohol rehab and drug rehab programs. The originators, known most affectionately as Bill W. and Dr. Bob, were veterans of many alcohol rehab programs. None seemed to help them maintain sobriety. As they began to work together they took methods from each of their treatment programs and developed there own effective treatment. In 1939, they published the book Alcoholics Anonymous which is where the program derived its name. Two key structure points came from the program. Individuals would only use their first name to maintain anonymity, and second alcohol sufferers can receive strength by talking about sobriety with their peers.

The Basis of the 12-step program is a simple one. An individual is powerless over their addiction and only God or a higher power can provide the means to escaping it. What follows is a personal assessment of individual's shortcomings and their needs for enlightenment. The culmination of the 12-step process is a spiritual experience and an internal changing of ones self.

Cirque Lodge alcohol rehab program is founded upon this 12-step program. We implement it as a part of each individual treatment plan to build upon in the alcohol rehab process. The 12-step program once in place can be a life long assessment tool for bettering ones situations.

Detoxification Begins the Rehab Process

For many sufferers of alcohol addiction the first point of alcohol rehab is a detoxification period. It is necessary to free the body from the effects that alcohol places on it. A detoxifying period is necessary to get the body cleansed of all toxins. During this time it is also imperative for monitoring to note any withdrawal effects that may ensue. Depending on the dependency, withdrawal conditions can be severe. Detoxification is a difficult but necessary process in freeing ones self from addiction. Detoxification services at Cirque Lodge are offered by the University of Utah's Neuro-psychiatric institute (UNI). This state of the art facility offers a 24-hour monitoring service during the detoxification period. UNI is just a short distance from Cirque Lodge and is the beginning of an individual alcohol rehab program. Detoxification is a difficult time, qualified staff and services can make it easier on the individual.

Therapy for Alcohol Addiction

Understanding why a person has an alcohol addiction is the basis of individual therapy. Determining any underlying issues is an important part of therapy. The nature of abuse is different in every individual but there are reasons behind it for everybody. Cognitive and behavioral therapy is in place to determine such things as trauma of past difficulties in life. Some times an unaware disorder such as undiagnosed depression may be reasoning behind it. The intensified look into the human psyche can reveal things about individuals they are unaware of. Individual therapy is a good basis of any alcohol rehab program.

At Cirque Lodge we balance individual therapy with group and experiential therapy. These modes of therapy can inspire and educate the individual. Group therapy is a good means of support and the building of friendships. Our unique brand of experiential therapy is in place to give those suffering from alcohol addiction a chance to enjoy life.
