Investigating Sioux City Treatment Services
In 2010,
Money Magazine ranked Sioux City, Iowa among the nation's "100 Best Places to Live." On the other hand, the Website
Medical News Today ranks the community Number 14 among America's "40 Drunkest Cities." According to the report (based on research originally published on
Daily Beast), the ranking was based on "average monthly alcohol consumption, highest levels of binge drinking, and where sizable percentages of people suffered serious health complications due to excessive drinking."
The fact is that alcoholism not only destroys relationships and careers; it ultimately destroys brain cells and vital organs, particularly the liver.
Those who are struggling with alcohol owe it to themselves as well as those around them to seek recovery - and there are plenty of treatment options available in Sioux City.
Is Religion Necessary?
There are researchers who believe that all humans have a tendency toward addiction, and that virtually anyone, given the right circumstances, can become an addict. There are others who suggest that addiction is really an imperfect spiritual longing and that substances are used to fill that empty place in the addict's life.
Tips on Entering a Rehab Program
Before you sign up for a treatment program, understand that recovery is a lifelong process with many steps. Although each person is different and has individual needs, all programs generally include:
- Drug detox, using prescription medications
- Behavioral modification therapy
- Psychological counseling
- Post-treatment support
In addition, there may be group therapy sessions, and your counselor may recommend AA meetings.
