In Russia, the people consider the fight against alcoholism a futile undertaking. Various prohibitions, restrictions, "dry" laws have never brought the desired results. “Russia is the merry of the drink, we cannot be without it,” - with these words, Prince Vladimir argued for the rejection of Muslims forbidding wine, choosing a religion for his state. For a thousand years, his words recorded in the annals have not lost their relevance. A good excuse for lovers of relaxation.
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 unrecorded cases of the disease than are considered by statistics, because women are in no hurry to consult a doctor with such a “shameful” problem.
Female alcoholism treatment - A very complex and lengthy therapy, requiring the participation of not only a narcologist, but also a psychologist, psychiatrist. The reasons leading women to alcoholism are usually psychological: loneliness, family breakdown, loss of loved ones, disappointment and resentment. A glass of wine dulls the mental pain, brings imaginary relief, even temporary. Unnoticed, a woman "sits down" on saving alcohol, falling into a fatal dependence.
Friends and relatives can remain in ignorance about the real state of things for a very long time, since women can hide their vices much better than men. For help, specialists are often contacted already in advanced cases. Perhaps this served the formation of the myth that the treatment of female alcoholism is useless.
In fact, any person can be cured, regardless of gender, but there is one very important prerequisite. Treatment of female alcoholism, as well as male alcoholism, is possible only if the patient himself wishes. As long as a person does not realize his dependence 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 towards healing, after which the support of relatives and qualified help will become very important.
Impossible to treat female alcoholism at home, do not flatter yourself with short-term successes. You can cope with household drunkenness on your own, but alcoholism must be treated with competent specialists.
Well-known methods such as coding, “sewing up” are based on a sense of fear. They do not cure and do not deduce from dependence, but only for a while block it. Therefore, most patients "break down" as soon as the period ends. Female alcoholism, the treatment of which requires an integrated approach, is no exception.
First of all, detoxification (purification) of the body is performed. In parallel, psychotherapy is carried out, giving the installation to learn how 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 indispensable link in complex therapy.
The alcohol addiction of a wife, mother, daughter, girlfriend is always a disaster, but still not a sentence. This should be remembered by loved ones, the understanding and support of which a woman needs very much. Treatment of female alcoholism is quite possible, you just need to have patience, willpower and fortitude.
