Current treatment for alcoholism ranges from inpatient to outpatient to home detox. The type of treatment depends on the patient's resources and motivation. Alcohol-dependent individuals usually need some type of medical supervision during detox and withdrawal. There are new alternative medical treatments as well as herbal supplements to help with detox, withdrawal, and cravings for alcohol abuse or alcoholism. These alternative therapies provide affordable, professional care in the privacy of one's home.
Cognitive and behavioral therapies are important in recovery from alcoholism or alcohol abuse. Relapse is common with alcoholics. The combination of 12-Step attendance at AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings and some natural, non-addicting herbal supplements to address alcohol cravings works well. Treatment with herbal supplements for cravings should continue for at least 2 years. Very often we are so involved in life right in front of us that we fail to see. Sometimes we think into the future only as far as lunch or bedtime. I often wake myself up, even if I haven't been physically asleep, and realize that I haven't thought beyond ten minutes from right now for some time. The immediate present is very important. As Jim Rohn says, "Wherever you are, be there." Soak it in. Be part of it. See it, smell it, taste it, touch it.
Sir Isaac Newton's first law of motion states that a body in motion tends to stay in motion. If not acted on by any other force, an object will travel in a straight line at a constant speed. Of course, if not in space, there are always other forces acting on anybody in motion. Friction will slow it down. Irregularities in the medium in which or on which it travels will deviate its course. So life goes on. If we're not looking where we're going, or making any efforts to go anywhere, our lives will keep going the same as always, with the exception of times when major things bounce us off course.
