While alcohol consumption is declining, 17 percent of Australians still consume alcohol at levels that place them at lifetime risk of alcohol-related disease or injury. Because signs of alcohol addiction vary from person to person, it can be hard to know when someone you love is suffering.
Without treatment, alcohol addiction can cause significant deterioration of physical and mental health, impact financial well-being, have legal repercussions and lead to family breakdown. The sooner your loved one can access support, the better their chances of recovery will be.
At Wesley Hospitals, we offer three treatment options: appointment-based individual counselling, day programs in a group setting, as well as in-hospital stays. This provides your loved one with choice and flexibility to access the support that they need.
You’ve already taken the first step in supporting someone you love who may be experiencing alcohol addiction. For more information, contact our assessment team to see how we can work together to help your loved one identify their condition and take steps towards recovery and long-term sobriety.
