There is a fair amount of contradictory information about alcohol treatment. Much of the information about alcohol rehab is accurate but there are a number of myths that manage to persist. This article introduces a few myths and truths about alcohol rehab.

Myth: People who don’t succeed first time in alcohol rehab will never succeed.
This is completely false, many people require multiple treatments in alcohol rehab facilities before they are able to maintain lasting alcohol recovery. Recovery is a long process that requires sustained dedication and commitment. It is not a quick or easy illness to beat.

Myth: Alcoholism is the result of personal weakness or moral failing
Alcoholism changes the way the brain works and hijacks the alcoholics thought process. Alcoholics are in the grip of an illness that compels them to drink. The brain becomes so used to having alcohol present that it loses the ability to function normally without it. Alcoholism is an illness that alters the chemistry of the brain.

Myth: Alcoholism can be overcome on your own
Actually the majority of people who attempt to overcome alcoholism on their own find that they are unable to do this. Those who remain sober without addressing the underlying issues that drive the process of alcoholism find themselves unhappy and unfulfilled. For the majority of people a comprehensive alcohol treatment program as offered by professionals in an alcohol rehab center is required to achieve a happy and fulfilled life.

Myth: Alcohol rehab centers are like prisons
Everybody has a fear of the unknown and the prospect of being admitted to an alcohol rehab center may be daunting to some. The truth is that an alcohol rehab center worth its salt should be physically comfortable and emotionally supportive. While certain freedoms are restricted in the early phases of alcohol treatment this is to ensure the safety of the members of the facility and you are free to quit the program at any time. The staff of an alcohol rehab facility are kind and caring people who have dedicated their lives to helping alcoholics recover.

Myth: Alcohol rehab will only work if the patient is there voluntarily
Although the chance of a positive outcome is greatly improved by a patient arriving at the clinic openly asking for help this is not required for success. Alcoholics are often in denial about the problem and arrive at alcohol rehab at the behest of family members while earnestly believing that that they have been misdiagnosed. Through exposure to the alcohol treatment program in an alcohol rehab in Cape Town the alcoholic will come to accept the illness and has just as good a chance of finding alcohol recovery as if he/she had entered alcohol rehab voluntarily.

Myth: An alcoholism treatment program in an alcohol rehab can be completed quickly
There is a large body of evidence that suggests at least three months of treatment are required before an alcohol treatment program is likely to be successful. Shorter term programs are less likely to be able to address the wide range of behaviours and entrenched habits that fuel the process of alcoholism.
