Local Rehab Discusses Alcohol Rehab Length

Columbus, OH - SUN Behavioral Health Columbus recently published a blog post that discussed how long alcohol rehab takes. Anyone can develop an alcohol use disorder because alcohol is readily available to people over the age of 21. However, several risk factors can play a role in the development of an alcohol use disorder. Some of those factors might include family history, using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking alcohol at an early age.

"When it comes to treating alcoholism, different methods and combinations are used. One of the main components is therapy. Group therapy is an effective part of treatment as hearing from peers can put your feelings into perspective. Hearing that someone else has gone through similar situations and is committing themselves to recovery can help in your own recovery with accountability and inspiration," the blog post states.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is vital in individual settings because it addresses thought and behavior patterns and teaches people how to modify them. In turn, healthy coping mechanisms form, which allows people to address adversities such as stress and grief healthily. These healthy mechanisms make it helpful to treat alcohol use disorders, depression, and anxiety. Wellness treatment, which includes yoga and nutrition, can also be used in treatment centers. The promotion of healthy physical health can reverse the effects of long-term alcohol use.

When seeking treatment, people often consider the following three factors: location, affordability, and program. Many people want a place closer to home because they find having family and friends nearby comforting. However, on the other hand, others may want to be far from home because they want to avoid toxic situations. One of the most significant factors is being able to afford treatment. Many people will pay for their treatment with private insurance, Medicaid/Medicare, or out-of-pocket. Finding a location that accepts and works with one's payment abilities is critical to a successful match. Finally, a program that works with a person's unique needs can ensure they get the treatment that works for their schedule and life. For example, an inpatient treatment facility would not work if someone can't take off work. In that case, looking for a flexible outpatient program would allow them to receive treatment without sacrificing their career.

"No two people develop an alcohol use disorder the same, so no two people will experience the same recovery. Rehab is a setting that can help people change their surroundings, put the focus on themselves, and help them understand that they are a person, not a disorder. By creating a safe environment and being around like-minded people, many have found success through SUN Behavioral Health Columbus' alcohol use disorder treatment.
