According to a U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, over 22% of people living in Florida 12 years of age or older have participated in binge drinking (5 or more drinks in a single occasion) on at least 1 day in the past 30 days. What is more alarming is that, although drug use have decreased in recent years, the abuse of alcohol among teenagers is worse than ever. This means that more actions have to be made in order to avoid alcohol addiction, particularly among youths. In only 6 to 18 months of drinking, an adolescent may become thoroughly addicted to alcohol, while an adult can take 5 to 15 years of drinking to become an alcoholic.
Undergoing a full recovery program is critical in overcoming an addiction to alcohol. Addiction is not a simple problem and its treatment could not be so straightforward: this is why, for a rehab center to provide effective treatment, it needs to have a variety of programs that can address all aspects of the addiction. Alcoholics suffer from a wide range of problems – physical, emotional and psychological – and each of this, and the issues belonging to it, has to be treated specifically by professionals who are most capable of understanding the patient’s condition and thus can provide the best solutions.

Albeit holistic rehabilitation is a very good option for addiction recovery for both alcohol and drugs, it will only become effective when the person acknowledges his problem with addiction and is willing to undergo professional treatment. Otherwise, any efforts from family members or friends to rehabilitate the person will only end up as a futile quest. Hence, the road to holistic recovery is for the person to accept treatment at his own will and not through force coercion. Once the alcohol and drugs are taken away, the holistic type of rehab will ensure the person understands how to positively deal with the outbreak of emotional upheaval during the treatment as well as induce alternative therapies such as acupuncture, tai-chi, yoga, and light-sound neurotherapy to work on regaining equilibrium for body, mind and spirit. With the holistic rehabilitation approach, the use of a variety of therapies will fully cover all the required treatments of the body, emotions, thoughts and spirit. Addiction recovery from alcohol and drugs are not only just a physical problem that is resolved with body detoxification, but more like an emotional and spiritual injury that usually leaves a long-lasting scar. Hence, the various holistic treatments can still be utilized to sustain the patients long after they leave the rehabilitation center, to fully heal their emotional scars and let them move on with their lives with a clean slate.
Teen addiction is also best treated with Holistic approach as it focuses on changing the thought processes in the person’s head. With the use of various mental stimuli in holistic rehabilitation, such as yoga and meditation, it will help clear the hubbub in the person’s head and calm his thoughts, whilst at the same time relieving him from anxieties, stress and pressures. Once the person achieves a healthy body and mind, the spirit is also restored to complete the transformation of the “whole being”, which is the main concept of holistic healing – the achievement of the ultimate balance or symmetry of body, mind and spirit.

I would like to preface this article by saying alcohol is a drug and the way to Addiction Recovery is the same for either drugs or alcohol. Therefore, I may use the terms “alcoholism” or “addiction” interchangeably, but in the end the road to recovery is based on the same simple principles. If there is anything that is crucial for an addict seeking recovery, it is 12 step meetings. Here is something which will not scare off a person struggling with a drinking habit. In the company of like-minded people who are ready to share their experience strength and hope, addicts participate in such a simple yet effective way to combat addiction: one addict helping another.
12 step programs have a life changing effect on people’s lives. You will see people come to these programs in the worst of shapes. Often you will see them look broken and weak in spirit when they stagger in for the first time. But the transformation that occurs in the same people after they have attended only a few of these meetings is sometimes nothing short of miraculous. You will see the same people looking far more hopeful and in charge of their lives. Gone will be the feelings of self-pity and uselessness. Instead you will notice the beginning of hope and resolve on their part. Just listening to the stories of former addicts, as well as those on their way out of the addiction is an enormous source of inspiration and motivation to these people. They see their situations and their lives reflected in what the speakers say at these meetings, often mustering up the courage to turn up for a first 12 step meeting. This is the first major step in the right direction.
