What Is Coding From Alcoholism

One of the methods of treatment of alcoholism is coding. Coding from alcoholism implies the introduction of drugs that are incompatible with alcohol. Today, as such drugs are used antabus
(Tetur), as well as the esperal - his French counterpart. The effect of these drugs is manifested in the fact that they, first, reduce the craving for
Alcohol, secondly, make it impossible to use it. The second action is due to the fact that when taking alcohol, there are various negative reactions in the form of nausea, severe headache and other unpleasant, and
Sometimes life-threatening symptoms. But the coding from alcoholism uses not only medications. One way of coding from
Alcoholism is psychotherapy, including hypnosis. The task of coding with the help of psychotherapy is to form an alcoholic with a strong aversion to alcohol and an unwillingness to consume alcohol. Simultaneously, a desire to return to a normal, healthy life is formed. In other words, coding from alcoholism with the help of psychotherapy allows to destroy the so-called "alcoholic consciousness". A person with alcohol consciousness is unable to adequately assess his condition and control his behavior. People with alcoholic consciousness deny the existence of the problem of alcoholism and in every possible way interfere with their relatives who want to help them. They refuse to treat alcoholism, trying to convince themselves and others that they can not drink if they want. Thus, it can be said that alcohol consciousness forms the dependence of a person on alcohol. He has an elementary substitution of concepts - everything that previously was unconditional value: family, children, work, friends, becomes
Insignificant. The first place is alcohol and the desire to use it. Often alcoholic consciousness is compared with amnesia, in which a person forgets his past life and is in full power with alcohol.
In this state, he easily finds excuses for his drunkenness, and also finds ways and means to get liquor. No exhortations and persuasion on him do not work. On the contrary, having felt resistance from relatives, the person, suffering from alcoholic dependence, becomes aggressive and even dangerous. That is why it is so important for relatives and relatives of an alcoholic not to fight independently with him, but to turn to specialists who will be able to select adequate therapy, which, among other things, will include coding from alcoholism. It is probably necessary to work with relatives of the alcoholic, who, as a rule, are so involved in the problem that they become co-addicted. The term "codependence" implies such a deep immersion in the problem, when a person ceases to be interested in anything else and practically forgets about his own interests, about his children and his close environment. All thoughts and actions of the co-dependent are aimed at saving the alcoholic. Salvation usually means not resorting to specialists, but those that are most accessible: threats, blackmail, persuasion, hysteria, etc. As a rule, all these means do not lead to the desired result, but only further exacerbate the problem and increase co-dependency. That's why the psychotherapist often invites not only the patient himself with alcohol dependence, but also all his relatives who are somehow involved in the problem. It is very important that work on overcoming alcohol dependence takes place on all fronts. Only in this case it is possible to count on the success of treatment and the return of the patient to a normal and healthy life.
