Therapy for Alcoholism: Counseling and Treatment in Johnson City, TN

Therapists have helped many people clarify those lines and gain more control of when, why, and how much they use alcohol. Objective professionals can equip people with accurate information and empower them with new skills to make healthy choices about their alcohol consumption.

Therapy through Thriveworks Johnson City, TN gives people an objective perspective on their drinking habits. With a counselor’s skill and care, many clients have overcome alcohol abuse and alcoholism.

The Physical and Social Effects of Alcoholism

Alcohol use disorder, by itself, is a concerning health problem, but sustained alcohol in the bloodstream can cause additional challenges. Alcoholism may increase a person’s risk of other illnesses or health concerns, including…

  • Birth defects
  • Diabetes complications
  • Stroke
  • Blindness
  • Liver disease
  • Osteoporosis
  • High blood pressure
  • Gastritis
  • Atrial Fibrillation

In addition to wrecking a person’s body, alcoholism can wreck a person’s relationships. Alcoholism can affect a person’s family, friends, community and professional relationships. As people lose control of their alcohol use, they often become emotionally unstable, losing control of other behaviors as well. Both when they are using alcohol and when they are not, relational tensions can rise. Alcoholics may become violent or engage in other harmful, inappropriate behavior.

Even without violent or inappropriate behavior, a person’s work performance can decline when alcoholism sets in. Alcoholics often miss work or are unable to work at the same level of efficiency, leading to reduced or missed wages and further stress. Friends and family may find themselves in increasingly difficult places. Of course, they want to help their loved one, but knowing how to help without enabling the alcoholism is tricky. Furthermore, they may need to take action to protect themselves or their children, if children are in the home.

Alcoholism Treatment

Many therapists take a multifaceted approach to treating alcoholism. In general, treatment begins with a detox period that rids the body of alcohol in its bloodstream. Then, treatment may consist of various methods for sustaining sobriety. These methods may include…

1. Counseling – focuses upon treating the cause of alcoholism. Therapists may also equip clients with healthy coping mechanisms to handle life’s stress in a healthy way.

2. Support Groups – offer empathy and accountability from fellow alcoholics who are in recovery or who are currently fighting for sobriety. Group therapy and/or support groups have long been safe places to heal and grow.

3. Medication – may be helpful in achieving and continuing in sobriety. A doctor or appropriately licensed therapist can supervise medicinal treatment.
