REWRITING SAMPLES

Alcoholism addiction treatment
Alcohol addiction, is a highly serious medical problem. Also known as alcohol dependency or alcoholism, is a debilitating disease that can completely disrupt the social life of a person. For alcoholism addiction treatment, it is mandatory to know the four major symptoms of alcohol addiction. The symptoms are loss of control, tolerance, craving and physical dependence. Losing complete control over one’s life in general refers to being unable to have a strong and complete control over one’s drinking problem over a considerable period of time or in any social occasion like a wedding or party. Tolerance is that nagging need to drink increasing amounts of alcohol in order to have the rush. Craving is the desire to have that drink, to desperately take a swig from the bottle. The final symptom of physical dependence comprises withdrawal symptoms. These occur when an individual suddenly stops the consumption of alcohol after a long spell of drinking exhaustively. These alcohol withdrawal symptoms besides being terrible, uncomfortable and even dangerous at times include long spells of nervous breakdown, perspiration and shaking in a manner that is pitiful and scary. For alcoholics, alcoholism addiction treatment can come in several forms. It can be alcohol addiction counseling, alcohol addiction treatment, or admission into an alcoholism treatment center or facility for alcohol addiction rehab. While taking into consideration the entire drug and alcoholism addiction treatment route, we must know there are two steps in becoming clean or sober. The first part is the Getting Clean which is usually a period of detoxification, which can be carried out by going to a rehab or addiction treatment center. The latter arrangement does require a considerable amount of money. There are more to rehab centers than just detoxifying centers, and if a month is spent in any of those, the patient will have earned himself/herself a month of sobriety. Experts agree that this is usually the easier part of the two levels. The second part in alcoholism addiction treatment is the staying clean or recovery. This is the more challenging and tougher part of the entire rigorous cycle of alcoholism addiction treatment. This is the part where most addicts struggle because this is where the patient has to build a new life for himself/herself that involves staying off the drink and drugs. Building a new life for oneself is a highly difficult task and requires a great deal of patience, perseverance and self-belief. After successfully completing the getting clean level, it is necessary to move onto the staying clean, which can also be called the recovery section. The disastrous effects of alcohol addiction was successfully demonstrated in the cult movie on alcohol addiction, When A Man Loves A Woman, where Meg Ryan’s character was shown struggling with the problems of alcohol addiction, that threatened to destroy everything and everyone she cared for. And, like in this movie, it is possible to overcome every hurdle in alcohol addiction if there is the constant and loving support of family and loved ones.
