If you have a drinking problem, the best thing you can do for yourself would be by admitting it and undergo the whole process of getting out of the addiction. There are some people who successfully self-treat themselves. However, for most of them, professional help is much needed. It is also important that the person suffering from alcohol addiction is placed as far away from temptation as possible especially if he is very far gone into the drinking problem. As such, the alcohol rehab center in Houston Texas would be the best place to go to for professional help.

For starters, the alcohol rehab centers in Houston Texas have enough professionals who will be able to help the addict admit that he has a problem. This is the first step towards getting over the drinking problem. With the assistance of counselors and therapist as well as group work, addicts then have a chance to understand how they got to this point in time. Through acceptance of the problem, only then can the addict work towards sorting out his addiction. It definitely will not be an easy road or an easy task to undergo but the alcohol rehab centers have some resources to help sort things out.

One of the things that the alcohol rehab centers in Houston Texas can help recovering addicts is by giving the support that is needed. After all, men definitely can live on their own. Whatever the problem, a social network is much needed. At the alcohol rehab center, the addict will finally understand that there are other people who are going through the same thing. Through group sessions and sharing exercises, he can then gauge the fact that all of them are there to remain sober and get a new lease in life.

Of course, the alcohol rehab centers don’t often have all the answers. They have the professional knowledge to help people with drinking addictions but it doesn’t always work. There are people who have been sober for months in the alcohol rehab center only to end up drinking again once they are out.

Discussing treatment for alcohol addiction issues related to the above discussion must include the often used avenue of personal faith. This includes a f dependence upon biblically based principles and trust placed in Christ, His work and power as the source to which Christian counseling can encourage and reinforce. Many thousands take advantage of Christian based ministries and counselors who point toward a spiritual solution rooted in a transformational inward change that ameliorates these issues and provides lasting help.

Had to retire early

Image by K. Kendall
Met this gentleman at the acupuncture clinic this afternoon. He’s there for his hands.

"It’s my work," he told me. "I was in automobile body repair, always using my hands, banging them up. I had to quit working. Got carpal tunnel, couldn’t use my hands no more. Started doing auto body work when I was a kid. My grandfather taught me. He was Native American, all my people are Native. We moved here forty years ago when the shipyards was hiring. But that wasn’t my real work. My real work always was advocacy for Native people. Started an alcohol recovery clinic right after I moved to Portland, and later my son, my daughter, my grandson, even my great-grandkid used it. Glad it was there for them. That was my real work. I still do that work. You ought to see me in my headdress. Everybody likes to take pictures of that. We got a special school going right now, about to graduate sixteen kids. They never would have finished high school nowhere else. That’s my real work. But I can’t use my hands no more. Used ’em up, I guess."

Sorry for the terrible quality. Dark clinic waiting room, only had my pocket camera. Here’s a moment when I wished for the Nikon. But then again, if I’d hauled out that big brick of a computer-on-a-rope, it would have changed the whole energy in the waiting room. The pocket camera is discreet. Quiet. Doesn’t call attention to itself.
