Professional Help to Treat Alcoholism
Press Release Jan. 2011
Advances in alcoholism treatment in recent years
have provided more choices for patients and health
professionals.
• Medications to Treat Alcoholism. Newer
medications (naltrexone, topiramate, and acamprosate)
can make it easier for an individual to quit drinking
by offsetting changes in the brain caused by alcoholism.
Unlike an older medication (disulfiram), the new
ones don't make you sick if you do drink. Another
benefit, none of these medications are addictive.
Although medications are a great resource of treating
alcohol addiction a combination of a support group,
alcohol counseling or residential alcoholism treatment
is highly recommended.
• Alcohol Counseling. "Talk therapy"
also works well. There are several counseling
approaches that are about equally effective—12
step, cognitive-behavioral, motivational enhancement,
or a combination. Getting help in itself appears
to be more important than the particular approach
used, as long as it offers empathy, avoids heavy
confrontation, strengthens motivation, and provides
concrete ways to change drinking behavior.
• Specialized, Intensive Alcoholism Treatment
Programs. If and individual has an old established
pattern of alcohol addiction, residential alcoholism
treatment facilities are the best options for
the patient treatment. Residential Alcoholism
Treatment Centers/Facilities are able to offer
a complete array of cognitive-behavioral therapies,
motivational therapies as well as family support
group therapies.
