Alcoholism and other addictions

 

The drug is a chemical that has a mood-altering effect. The concept of drug addiction ( toxic addiction) includes different forms of dependence on mood altering chemical substances. So alcoholism is also a form of drug addiction.

Számos egyéb függőség is létezik, amelyekben külső kémiai anyag nem játszik szerepet. Ilyen például a társfüggés vagy a játékszenvedély.

Addiction treatment and rehabilitation

 

Our view on addiction

According to our understanding, addictions -both chemical and behavioral- are primary, chronic, progressive and fatal diseases. We consider addiction as a bio-psycho-social  life-threatening (biogenic) disease that also affects the state of the soul (psyche) and social relationships. In addition to the tragedy of the individual concerned, addiction, in whatever form, can poison the lives of the environment and family for generations.

Our view is that recovering from addiction can be based on the concept of illness, following a change-oriented recovery model, and participating in self-help communities. We consider recovery as a lifelong process where abstinence is maintained by the ability to constructively live with the disease and keep it asymptomatic. We define sobriety not  as a state but rather as a lifestyle, which can also help alleviate the intergenerational effects of dysfunctional families.

Passion or illness? Who is addicted? Who is an alcoholic?

We will help you if you would like to know if you have an abnormal relationship to alcohol or other substance.

– If you make your life difficult.
– If the substance/ passion is  already causing a problem for you
– If your life seems out of control
– If you are for the alcohol and not the alcohol is for you
– If you’re puzzled and want to know what to do.

 

 What we do for you

Our primary goal is to provide differentiated services to people with addictions according to individual needs, at the level required by their condition.
The majority of those who use our services – thanks for the successful early intervention – still live and work in their family. In our experience, for many clients, their substance abuse problems are advanced, but do not need therapeutic institutional treatment yet. This is also thanks to early access. For those who are unable to receive long-term institutional treatment because of their living conditions (child, workplace, sick relative, etc.) the so called “ambulant” form is the most appropriate and effective method. For this reason we have found it necessary – as a model experiment – to adapt the institutional methods to supported day care community living conditions, thus providing a so-called near home ambulant rehabilitation system where their recovery program is compatible with their social commitments.

Our ambulant services

We offer weekly individual counseling service or our day care facility that can be used more frequently.
This latter form of treatment aims to help those who are seeking intensive care based on individual and group work. Our institution can be considered as an alternative form of treatment between a counseling service and a six-month residential rehabilitation institution.
We will select the type of care that suits you based on a health survey, together with you.

 We recommend it…

  • When you need it, but your living situation does not allow isolated, residential rehabilitation.
  • In addition to your work, you would like to have a more relaxed recovery program
  • After a residential rehabilitation program  you want to grow strong and reintegrate in a sheltered environment, therefore you would like to live in a “Half-way house”.
  • You have not lost everything because of your addiction, you have supportive family members, housing, work or school, but the environment in which you live is dangerous, or makes it impossible  to become or remain abstinent.
  • You might have been recovering for a time, but you are stuck at a certain level and want to get over it.
  • You can live without drugs, but you need help with your other cross-dependencies because you don’t want to risk your lasting sanity.
  • Either you live in Pécs, but your financial situation or transport facilities do not allow you to receive ambulant treatment,  or you seek ambulant rehabilitation treatment from other parts of the country. Bővebben…

 

28 day program

The 28-day recovery program of the Base Addictology Service is based on the classic Minnesota Model. It is designed for people whose living conditions and their little free time do not allow them to undertake long-term, closed institutional residential care but they feel the need to participate in a recovery program.

This will enable those who choose our program to continue to fulfill their social responsibilities and besides achieve fast and effective results.
