Expert help for alcohol addiction in Woking, Surrey
Alcohol addiction can be a painful condition that you may find difficult to manage on your own. It can lead to a way of living that has you dependent on alcohol in order to cope with everyday life. This can create a situation where it is difficult to stop drinking, even though your addiction may be having negative effects on your family, friends, employment, and happiness.
If this is something you are struggling with, then our team of alcohol rehab professionals in Surrey are here to help you. We will guide you through the process of recovery, and support you as you begin to take your first steps towards a new life of sobriety.
Getting help for alcohol addiction
Alcohol addiction develops because of consuming alcohol in a repeated and excessive manner, until you become both psychologically and physically dependent on having a drink in order to carry out day-to-day tasks and function more generally. Without intensive treatment, your alcohol addiction symptoms have the potential to cause a range of long-term physical and psychological problems, and can even result in death.
Here at Life Works, we want you to make the best possible start on the road to recovery. That’s why we give you a free assessment at our alcohol rehab clinic so that we can work with you to understand how you are affected by your addiction, the impact it has on your life and the unique ways in which you are led to drink. This helps us to understand you as a person, and make specific recommendations about your treatment that will help to ensure your recovery.
We also provide you with a complete medically assisted alcohol detoxification process. This will help to cleanse your body of alcohol, reduce your suffering, and ensure that you are in the best possible condition and level of comfort when your alcohol rehab at Life Works begins. Throughout the detoxification process, you will receive expert guidance and support, as well as any medication you need that is best suited to minimise any discomfort you may feel. After the detoxification, you will then undergo intense therapy and treatment to manage and treat your alcohol addiction.
Recovery from alcohol addiction isn’t without its challenges, but our team has helped countless people just like yourself to recover, and in many cases, have experienced the challenges of recovery themselves. Because of this, they understand and empathise with your addiction, and are the best possible people to help you alleviate your suffering.
