Alcohol addiction
Alcohol dependence is treatable.
A confidential conversation is the first step. We answer 24/7.
Understanding the problem
Alcohol dependence is an illness, not a failing.
Alcohol is used by many around us - to have fun, as a remedy for emotional and stressful problems, to be part of a group, to feel good. Out of every 100 people who drink, around 20 become dependent on it, often without knowing it is happening.
Dependence narrows life quietly. Health, work, finances and relationships absorb the damage first; the person drinking usually sees it last.
When to reach out
Signs to watch for.
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Loss of interest in activities once pleasurable
- Persistent sad, anxious, or empty feelings
- Irritability and restlessness
- Fatigue and decreased energy
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
- Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
- Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
- Thoughts of suicide
How Kripa helps
Treatment that goes beyond detox.
Detoxification at Kripa is carried out under the supervision of a psychiatrist, physician, nurse, counsellors and care takers. But detox is only the beginning - it is followed by a structured four-month residential programme of counselling, group therapy, psychosocial education, the 12 Steps of AA/NA, relapse prevention and family work.
Two dedicated tracks
Alcohol and drug de-addiction.
Kripa runs two dedicated treatment tracks: alcohol de-addiction and drug de-addiction. If drugs, not alcohol, are the concern, see our drug de-addiction programme.
