For loved ones

Being a loved one of someone with alcohol addiction can be one of the hardest and most challenging situations to face.

You may experience helplessness, frustration, and a feeling of inadequacy when you see someone you care about suffering from their addiction. It is important to remember that you are not alone, and your role as a loved one is crucial – not only for the person with the addiction but also for your own well-being.

At Vitalis Copenhagen, we understand how heavy a burden it can be to stand on the sidelines. Many loved ones try to help as best as they can, but it’s important to know that professional help is often necessary to break the grip of addiction.

A complete treatment program typically starts with a medical detoxification, using Risolid (Klopoxid) to ensure a safe and controlled withdrawal. This is followed by Recovery-focused therapy, which is crucial for achieving lasting sobriety. The therapy helps you understand and address the underlying causes of your addiction, providing tools to live a life free from alcohol.

You play a vital role in this process. Your support, understanding, and willingness to set boundaries can be key in encouraging your loved one to accept the help offered. But it is also important that you take care of yourself. You don’t have to go through it alone.

If you need advice or simply someone to talk to about your situation, you are always welcome to call us at Vitalis Copenhagen.

We are here to help – for both you and those you care about.
