Alcohol Addiction Recovery Services for Newport Beach

When you are having a stressful day, what do you usually do to relieve the stress? For many people, the answer to this question is to talk to a friend, loved one or third party (such as a psychologist). However, for a growing number of people, talking isn't enough, which is when they turn to alcohol. Alcohol abuse can happen to anyone. Whether you're living in a relatively small city such as Newport Beach, California or getting lost in the crowd of a huge city such as New York- alcohol addiction can develop in any one of us. At Mark Houston Recovery, we have first-hand experience in dealing with what goes on in the mind of an alcoholic, as well as the long-lasting damage that alcohol abuse can cause. This is why we offer a minimum 90-day stay for all of our residents to help them realize that they don't have to lead a life ruled by alcohol addiction and alcohol relapse. Rather, we are committed to helping alcohol addicts realize that they need to be held accountable and that they can live a life characterized by permanent sobriety.

Alcohol Relapse Prevention in Newport Beach

Alcoholism is more than an addiction to alcohol; it's a disease. Alcoholism is characterized by the inability to control the consumption of alcohol as well as the preoccupation with getting alcohol. If not addressed, over time alcohol abuse will only get worse, making alcohol relapse more common- and in some cases- fatal.

At Mark Houston Recovery, we believe that it is important to understand the signs and symptoms of alcohol addiction as well as alcohol abuse. Thinking that alcoholism will never affect you or anyone you love is both dangerous and naïve. One of the biggest signs that there is an alcohol problem is denial. We encounter many alcohol addicts who constantly deny that there is a problem, even when they are showing all of the signs of alcohol dependency.

At Mark Houston Recovery, we know how you feel. And while it may seem like you have no options available to you, we want you to know that you do. You CAN get your life back, and it IS possible to live a life free of alcohol and characterized by sobriety. By teaching you essential life skills that you will need in order to live independently outside of an alcohol rehab center, the staff at Mark Houston Recovery is committed to helping you lead a healthier, more fulfilling life without alcohol.
