In Russia, people consider the fight against alcoholism a useless undertaking. Various prohibitions, restrictions, "dry" laws have never brought the desired results. “Russia is the joy of drinking, we cannot exist without it,” - these are the words that Prince Vladimir argued for the rejection of Islam prohibiting wine, choosing a religion for his state. For a thousand years, his words, recorded in the annals, have not lost their relevance at all. A good excuse for fans to "relax".
In recent years, alcoholism has progressed and affects more and more people, including women. According to official statistics, over the past decade, female alcoholism has grown from 11.3% to 15.8%. It can be assumed that the real numbers will be much sadder. There are an order of magnitude more unreported cases of the disease than is taken into account by statistics, because women are in no hurry to see a doctor with such a “shameful” problem.
Treatment of female alcoholism is a very complex and lengthy therapy that requires the participation of not only a narcologist, but also a psychologist, a psychiatrist. The reasons,leading women to alcoholism, as a rule, psychological: loneliness, family breakdown, loss of loved ones, disappointment and resentment. A glass of wine dulls mental pain, brings imaginary relief, even if it is temporary. Imperceptibly, a woman “addicts” to saving alcohol, falling into a fatal addiction.
Friends and relatives can be ignorant of the real state of affairs for a very long time, because women are much better at hiding their vices than men. For help, specialists are more often turned to in advanced cases. Perhaps this was the formation of the myth that the treatment of female alcoholism is useless.
In fact, anyone can be cured, regardless of gender, but there is one very important prerequisite. Treatment of female alcoholism, as well as male, is possible only if the patient himself wishes. Until a person realizes his addiction and does not want to radically change his life, hardly anyone will be able to help him. Such an understanding should be the first step on the path to healing, after which the support of relatives and qualified help will become very important.
It is impossible to treat female alcoholism at home, do not flatter yourself with short-term successes. You can deal with domestic drunkenness on your own, but the disease of alcoholism must be treated by competent specialists.
Such well-known methods as coding, "sewing" are based on a sense of fear. They do not treat or remove addiction, but only block it for a while. Somost patients "break down" as soon as the term ends. Women's alcoholism is no exception, the treatment of which requires an integrated approach.
First of all, the body is detoxified (cleansed). At the same time, psychotherapy is carried out, which gives the installation to learn to have fun without taking alcohol, to feel like a full-fledged person, able to solve their problems, to be able to resist the desire to drink alcohol. Internal organs, as a rule, are already affected by alcohol and also need support and pharmacological treatment. A course of vitamins and other means of strengthening immunity is also an obligatory link in complex therapy.
Alcohol addiction of a wife, mother, daughter, girlfriend is always a disaster, but still not a verdict. This should be remembered by close people, whose understanding and support a woman needs very much. Treatment of female alcoholism is quite possible, you just need to have patience, willpower and fortitude.
