By Ines Flores


As humans it is normal to become addicted or attached to something because its human nature.We all know that too much of something is poisonous and when someone becomes too attached he or she needs help. That is why there are institutions known as rehabilitation centers that have been put in place to help such people. Some of the common things that people become addicted to are drugs, drinks like beer and wine, television, shopping etc. This has become a problem that there has been a need for alcoholic intervention Lafayette CA and around the world.

Alcoholic intervention is helping someone who has a drinking problem of alcohol overcome it while alcoholism is the problem itself of drinking beer/liquor. The person who is addicted to drinking beer is referred to as an alcoholic.

In order to be termed as an alcoholic he or she must have displayed the following signs; first of all he or she finds it difficult to limit themselves the amount they need to take, they have a persistent urge to drink beer all the time, they have withdrawal symptoms like nausea, headache, vomiting etc. Lose interest in some things which are not alcohol related or find a place where they are alone or hide just to drink.

Helping an addict is an important step in recovery especially if she or he is a loved one. A common characteristic they are likely to display when they are told of the help they will be getting; they become violent and make threats, make promises that they will quit drinking which they do not fulfill, they are very manipulative in that they lie to have stopped drinking which is not true etc.

Taking the addict into a rehabilitation center or bringing in an expert to help them may be a good idea because they will be new to the addict and they will tend to behave well with them unlike family members. When drinking addicts try to stop their behavior at first it is difficult for them. You will find them shaking and becoming sweaty because the urge is too much, they promise to stop completely if given just a few drops and become violent with everyone or everything around them.

Unfortunately some addicts do not get a chance to go to rehabilitation centers not because they do not want to but because the centers are costly therefore the addicts are left to deal with the consequences of their action. But an addict who really wants to quit the behavior can be self disciplined and decide to reduce the amount of bottles that he/she will have in a day until he/she reaches their desired goal though it will be very difficult and those who have made it through are very few because most of these people have relapsed.

The emergence of government and cheaper rehabilitation centers in Lafayette CA has ensured that more addicts have been enrolled into the centers which at the end of the day will make better citizens out of them.

Alcoholics require support, understanding, guidance and help from a loved one when going through rehabilitation and not discarded as useless people because they might go back into their old ways even after rehab, anyone can fall victim therefore tells us support alcoholics to overcome their addiction.
