A Helping Hand in a Time of Need: The Angels Who Work at Alcohol Detox Centers
Alcoholism is a disease. Sooner or later the drug simply overpowers the good sense and logical thinking of the drinker until they are no longer able to sleep, eat or breathe without first having "a little something to get them through". Unlike cancer, however, alcohol is also a choice. Every year millions of people choose to drown their sorrows in the bottom of a wine bottle, and every year millions of people find their way back out of that martini glass. It is all a matter of willpower, otivation and the guiding hands of their alcohol detox center.
Every person who works in an alcohol detoxification center understands the harmful effects of alcohol, and can sympathize (but not too much) with the struggling alcoholic trying to find their way clear of the hole they have dug for themselves. The most important person at an alcohol detox center is the counselor who is willing to help with that journey. Every counselor at a quality detox center has experience with both the drug and the disease and is willing to give as much of their time and attention as necessary. These counselors range from the Doctor of Psychology to the recovered alcoholic and are often the difference between victory and failure for the recovering alcoholic.
Trained doctors and nurses experienced in the negative side effects of extended alcohol use are on hand around the clock to assist the recovering addict with any health care issues they may be facing, including (but not limited to) the side effects associated with "drying out". These individuals are not there in order to maintain a lofty position over the people who come to the centers seeking help; rather, they are there because they truly wish to help the fallen rise back up.
Every one of these individuals will play an important role in the recovery of each and every alcohol user who passes through their competent hands, and every one of them is an important stone on the path to freedom.
