If you’ve hit bottom and realize that you’re an alcoholic, detox treatment is available. You have hospitals, support groups, and many other avenues of treatment open to you to help you overcome your alcohol addiction.
When you check into an alcoholic treatment center, an intake counselor will interview you to get an idea of your alcohol history, your health status and your living situation. Be as open as you can with the intake counselor, because your answers will be used to create the treatment plan that will start you living your recovery lifestyle. Being accurate and open will allow you to get the best healing and treatment available to you. You’ll get the best medical care this way, as well as a much better counseling program.
Finding the courage to be this open about such a personal matter isn’t easy, but living with alcoholism is harder. Why make it harder than you must. Good alcoholic treatment is best achieved through patient transparency, so do your best when you’re talking to your doctors and your counselors. You don’t have to hide any more. You’re getting help!
