Back in the fifties domestic violence seemed to be ignored by law enforcement. It seemed that spousal abuse was just part of life and excepted as the norm. Many of these families suffered because of alcoholism but this was largely ignored at this time. It almost seemed within the rights of the man of the house to commit these assaults. That all changed once society took serious notice. Alcoholic awareness groups like mothers against drunk driving and other groups have shed light on the domestic level; but they can only do so much. The individual must play their part as well.

Today is not much different when it comes to spousal abuse. Alcoholism still plays a major role in domestic violence. The main difference is the fact that there are more arrests and more intervention. Without these change violence within the home would be much more prevalent. Luckily those within the home are taking action to protect their mothers and themselves from harm by reporting violent problems to authorities. Eventually those with problems are authorized to seek help through the courts. They are sent to alcohol rehab clinics.

Alcohol rehab clinics provide real solutions to those afflicted and those families who suffer from these patients. The fact is, the family still loves those who have abused them. They just want to see them get better so they can rejoin them. These centers provide qualified help that simply cannot be over estimated. They work hard to make sure their patients receive the best treatment options available to them. They know what it is like to be in this type of situation because many of them have gone through the same thing; they are former alcoholics themselves.

The point is do not give up on your family member just because he or she is an alcoholic. They are in need of serious help and perhaps you are the only one that can offer them help; they are more apt to listen to a family member than they are from an outsider. Once they get the help that only an alcohol rehab clinic can provide, they are at the beginnings of getting on the right road to recovery. All they need aside from good rehab is your help. You must support them and be there for them and let them know that you care about their life. Once they get that added vote of confidence they are sure to have an easier time of recovery.

A number of newer modalities are now becoming fairly common in addiction treatment. Florida, as has so often been the case, is a recognized leader in the delivery of some of these therapies.

The importance of physical fitness is now being stressed in addiction treatment. Florida rehab facilities offer strength training, cardiovascular endurance, water sports, and other activities in order to encourage the improvement in overall health during drug and alcohol rehabilitation and provide a foundation for future holistic health.

Ropes courses, a normal part of a supervised physical fitness regimen, have been used for some time in addiction treatment. Florida offers excellent topography and a fine climate for what has become an accepted, proven method for restoring self-esteem and building self-confidence.

Ropes courses are obstacle courses with climbing walls, horizontal beams and cables, swiveling bridges, numerous swings, zip lines, and water elements scattered along a gentle path through the woods.

While clients should be in fair shape to participate, courses are designed with fitness levels in mind. Safety is always the top priority in addiction treatment. Florida rehab facilities provide guides and trainers for added security.

Martial arts, such a tai chi and qi gong, are often taught in addiction treatment. Florida rehab programs may also offer yoga. All of these activities teach proper breathing techniques, healthy postures, gentle stretches, slow purposeful movements, and mental focus. Tai chi has even been referred to as “meditation in motion.”

Nutritional counseling has become an integral component of addiction treatment. Florida rehab facilities may provide group and individual sessions with registered dieticians and other specially trained medical personnel. Poor eating habits are sometimes early symptoms of drug and alcohol abuse. These become ingrained and must be dealt with, especially with the growing knowledge about the relationship of diet and diseases.

It’s been discovered that grief and feelings of loss account for a large amount of the anguish felt by those seeking addiction treatment. Florida rehab facilities have begun to provide grief counseling for those clients also attempting to recover from the death of a loved one, a divorce, job loss, geographic changes, educational dysfunction, even the absence of the client’s drug-of-choice.

Gender-specific group therapy has become a routine part of addiction treatment. Florida drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs have discovered the unique needs women in particular may bring with them into the treatment setting.

Chemically dependent females are far more likely than their male counterparts to have been victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse, to have been tortured mentally or physically, and they often put off treatment because of a belief that they are needed in their often multiple roles of wife, daughter, mother, housekeeper, caregiver, or increasingly, breadwinner.

Statistically, if a woman has experienced any sort of abuse, it’s likely to have come from a male. There are, of course, exceptions.

By separating the sexes, it normally gives women a safe environment to discuss all sorts of familial or personal relationship difficulties without the sometimes upsetting presence of men.
