Life Works – the leading specialist in alcohol rehabilitation.
If you suspect that someone you know has or you yourself may have an alcohol addiction, you've probably witnessed a very gradual decline in both quality of life and a sense of well being. That is part of the danger of the disease of alcoholism, it's hard to detect until a pattern of detrimental and self-destructive behaviour is firmly in place. While alcoholism is traditionally thought of as the constant desire to drink, despite the continued deterioration of family, financial and health circumstances, this is not always the case.
With the recognition of binge drinking, alcoholics are able to go longer between drinks, but the effects can be just as destructive. If self imposed abstinence or intervention has proved fruitless, sometimes the only choice is to turn to alcohol rehabilitation. The clinical team at life works are experts in alcohol addiction treatment, and are committed to an evidence-based, in patient programme that restores health and dignity.
An addiction to alcohol is as much environmental as it is physical, and often, the most effective mode of treatment is removing the "triggers" that can continue to feed addictive behaviour. Lifestyle, stress, peer pressure and access to alcohol are all things that fuel an addiction. Lifeworks provides an atmosphere that makes wellness the top priority, allowing their clients to regain holistic well being, while addressing the underlying issues through therapy that lead to more constructive thinking.
Because we recognize the long term physical effects of alcoholism, we utilize alcohol rehabilitation that includes a comprehensive medical approach. Long term abuse can result in liver damage, throat problems and ulcers, so our medical team make sure you are thoroughly assessed and monited throughout your treatment and that you leave with the tools you need to keep your body and mind as healthy as possible. Yes, alcohol abuse is a problem, but with the right support, environment and commitment, it's one that can be beaten.

I think I have an problem with Alcohol - how can I tell? What are the symptoms?
Among the most important steps you may take towards recovering from an addiction to alcohol is realizing you have a problem and that you can deal with it. Alcohol rehab varies in each alcohol rehab clinic and can involve full holistic residential private alcohol rehab, or shorter care via an alcohol detox. To identify your problem, simply ask yourself the following questions. Can you no longer control your drinking habits? Do you constantly promise yourself to break this cycle but find yourself failing every time? Have you been caught driving under the influence of alcohol or have you been suffering financially due to this addiction? Are your relationships suffering, or are you unable to think of anything other than drinking - or recovering from the last drink you had? If any of these characteristics fit you, you should seek help. These are all signs of alcoholism, and if left untreated, could cause other major health issues.
