Alcoholism Treatment
Alcoholism is an addiction which grows slowly, working to defeat people gradually before they realise they have a problem. By the time this is addressed, the problem may have grown into a crisis, seemingly impossible to combat. In order for the treatment programme to produce effective results, it contains a series of areas which the addict must address relating to problems of a physical, emotional and psychological nature.
Alcohol Detox
Detoxification is a medically supervised treatment programme for alcohol addiction designed to purge the body of intoxicating substances. It is usually the first step in overcoming addiction and can occur as part of a planned programme of rehabilitation here at PROMIS. For more information on detox, please click here.
In order to avoid alcohol withdrawal symptoms, benzodiazepines such as diazepam or chlordiazepoxide have to be prescribed. The type, length and medications used for detoxification are prescribed according to the patients individual specific needs.

Primary Care
PROMIS provides a stimulating yet supportive environment as patients develop the skills necessary to disregard alcohol as a solution to life's difficulties. During the programme, the warm and friendly surroundings of the clinic will assist in the rehabilitation as it promotes safety and security throughout, making the patient feel protected and appreciate the necessity of treatment. For more information on our primary care services, please click here.
Our treatment programme will also explore the way a patient needs to believe that there is life after alcohol - and a rewarding one at that. The treatment can only be viewed as a success if the patient values their role in society and recognises the potential of a fulfilling life without alcohol.
Due to the nature of the programme, combined with the individual's need to get on with life, the treatment process will be intense but this is essential in order to achieve the right result
