Psychotherapy with alcoholism

Demeevka works with this service confidentially and without judgement. First it is important to assess the person's condition, the risks and motivation and to choose the form of help that is appropriate right now.

Psychotherapy in alcoholism

Psychotherapy is the basis of treating alcoholism after the acute state is relieved. Coding and detox remove the physical part, but it is psychotherapy that helps to understand the causes of craving, handle triggers and hold sobriety. Without it the relapse risk is high.

The format is chosen individually: individual or family work, with frequency depending on the state and goals.

When it is needed

After detox or coding, with craving and relapses, and with co-dependence in the family.

How we help

Work on motivation, craving and triggers; with anxiety or depression, a psychiatrist consultation.

Questions and answers

Can I contact you confidentially?

Yes. Demeevka does not disclose the fact that you contacted us and handles personal data carefully.

Can relatives start with a consultation?

Yes. Often relatives take the first step, to understand the risks, how to approach the conversation, and the safe next steps.

Can I choose a specific treatment method right away?

The final form of help is decided only after assessing the condition, symptoms, risks and contraindications.

What should I prepare for the first contact?

It helps to briefly describe the symptoms, how long the use lasted, the current condition, chronic illnesses, and which medications have already been taken.

When is urgent help needed with alcohol?

Seizures, loss of consciousness, chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe hallucinations, disorientation or suicidal thoughts require an urgent response.

Is binge recovery or detox alone enough?

No. Acute stabilisation reduces symptoms but does not replace work on the causes of addiction, motivation and relapse prevention.

Can coding be done right after a binge?

Coding is discussed only after assessing the condition, the period of sobriety, motivation and possible contraindications.

When is inpatient care appropriate for alcoholism?

Inpatient care is more often recommended with severe withdrawal, repeated binges, psychotic symptoms, co-existing conditions, or when safe supervision at home is not possible.
