It took alot of convincing to get me to come into your alcohol rehab program. Between my parents, boyfriend and the counselors at the admission center I decided to give it a try. While I can't say it was easy, I can say it was the best decision I have ever made. My parents and boyfriend agree. I can return to Maryland with my head held up high. Thanks for everything.

One drink always led to ten and when I couldn't drink any more I turned to cocaine. This combination landed me in the E.R. one night which was my motivation for recovery. Since completing Stepping Stone's alcohol recovery program I have not had a drink or drug; it has been seven months now and I still can't believe it.

It has been 11 months, 21 hours and 22 minutes since my last drink and drug, but who's counting. I assure you it was no laughing matter when I came into Stepping Stone. I was completely depressed, my eating was out of control and I was drinking at least two bottles of wine a day, not to mention the cocaine use. Today, I am a responsible mother and wife but more importantly, I am a responsible recovering alcoholic. Thank you Stepping Stone

Information on Alcohol Abuse Treatment in Lousianna
Alcohol is physically addicting and can have a devastating effect on a person’s family, employment, health, finances and emotional well-being. Organs such as the brain may become dependent on alcohol, especially after several occurrences of binge drinking. Once developed, this dependence can make it difficult for the individual to stop drinking due to unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Professional alcohol abuse treatment is vital for safe and complete recovery.
Although programs for alcohol abuse treatment in Lousianna differ, there are a number of factors you should look for in choosing the one that’s right for you. Any program you are considering should:
Start with a complete health evaluation.
Establish a psychological profile.
Create an individual alcohol detox and rehabilitation plan for each patient.
Be supervised by licensed medical staff.
Be capable of dispensing medications when necessary.
Be part of a complete alcohol rehab program.
Most quality alcohol abuse treatment centers in Lousianna have a detox program onsite which can help patients manage the discomfort of alcohol withdrawal symptoms. After detox, the patient will progress to the center's alcohol abuse programs designed to help them break through denial and resistance. Patients will also learn about the dangers of alcohol abuse.
Alcohol Abuse Rehab in Lousianna
A quality alcohol abuse rehab center in Lousianna should have:
Qualified staff - The staff at the treatment center you are considering should consist of ASAM certified physicians trained in addiction medicine and a 24-hour nursing staff.
Credentials - The program should be licensed by the state of Lousianna and accredited by the Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
