Alcohol Addiction Rehab & Recovery Center for Orange County

At some point in each of our lives, we will struggle with alcohol addiction either personally or through someone else that we love or are close to. This dispels the myth that many of us believe, which is that alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction only happens to bad people, rock stars or celebrities. Wrong. Alcohol abuse can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. So, what is the difference between alcohol addiction and alcohol recovery?

Alcohol Addiction is an actual medical illness and alcohol recovery is the difficult process that not everyone has success with. We, at Mark Houston Recovery, know alcohol addiction because at some point or another, we have been in that situation. That being said, we also know an understand that overcoming any addiction- not just alcohol addiction- is a difficult and often lengthy process that goes far beyond the doors of any drug and alcohol rehab center. However, the good news is that it is not impossible.

Alcohol Relapse Prevention in Orange County

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and actual “drink” is equal to approximately five ounces of either beer, wine or distilled spirits. It is scary to think that five ounces is all that it takes to start the ball rolling on alcohol abuse. With all of the media attention turned to which celebrities are entering or leaving alcohol rehab centers as well as which celebrities are experiencing alcohol-related relapses, you would think that this would deter others from consuming alcohol to excess. Wrong. What many people fail to realize is just how dangerous alcohol abuse can be. A night out with the friends at the local bar is all it takes to experience the effects that alcohol can have on the lives of others.

At Mark Houston Recovery, we know firsthand how difficult overcoming a life of alcohol abuse can be. This is why we require our residents to stay a minimum of 90 days in our alcohol rehab center. It's not just about rehabilitating your alcohol addiction. Rather, it's about rehabilitating your entire life so that you can live a life free of alcohol abuse. It's about permanent sobriety, and Mark Houston Recovery can help you achieve this.
