Alcohol
1.Do you ever drink to relieve emotional stress?
2. Do you ever drink alone?
3. During the past year, have you ever felt remorse after drinking?
4. How many times in the past year have you tried to cut down or stop drinking?
5. How many times in the past year have you missed work because of the hangover or drinking?
6. On a typical drinking day, how many drinks do you have?
7. In an average week, how many days do you drink?
8. How often do you have more than six drinks in one go?
In each question give yourself a score of zero for the first answer; one for the second answer; two for the third answer; and so on. For example, in question one, if you tick occasionally that is answer number two, so you get one point.

If you scored -

0 to 3: it’s unlikely that you’re drinking is harmful to you

4 to 7: it’s unlikely that you’re drinking is hazardous, but you should check and remain within the recommended safe limits of alcohol to be sure you’re drinking does not cause you health problems

8 to 10: it’s possible that you’re drinking is becoming harmful to your health and you should ensure that your alcohol intake is within the recommended safe limits and seek further professional evaluation

10 to 14: it’s likely that you’re drinking is harmful to your health and you should seek further professional evaluation

      Alcohol misuse, alcoholism, alcohol use disorder (AUD).

      Alcohol misuse is the term used when you drink in a way that is harmful-to your health, finances, or relationships. It can also mean that you are dependent on alcohol, emotionally or physically.

      Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is the medical terminology a doctor, therapist or clinician would use to describe someone presenting with signs of a problem with alcohol. It can refer to a diagnosis at varying stages – mild, moderate, or severe, and is usually characterised as having an impaired ability to stop or control one’s use of alcohol, despite repeated negative consequences. AUD is classed as a brain disorder.

      Alcoholism, defined by the Oxford languages dictionary as, “addiction to the consumption of alcoholic drink; alcohol dependency,” is a word used in everyday language, it is not a clinical diagnosis but has become popular amongst fellowship groups and recovery-based programmes.

      Testimonials

      I wanted to drop you a quick message to thank you very much for your help and support during my stay within Ibiza Calm. Each and every person in the house was important in his own way in my recovery. I feel very grateful to all of you. It’s not always easy but it is achievable. My life is way much better than it was before coming and I am definitely a better version of myself now.

      Testimonials

      My son attended two rehab facilities before going to Ibiza Calm. Ibiza Calm, however, was exactly what it professed to be. They worked with my son as a vital ally in his recovery process, not as a person to be broken and fixed according to a set regimen, who would be blamed and shamed if he did not respond appropriately to the facility’s treatment protocol and schedule. The therapist assigned to my son struck the right balance between allowing him to move at a pace at which he was comfortable and pushing him to keep a challenging pace of self-discovery and recovery. My son has come out of this treatment calm and self-aware; whereas he finished the other programs angry and even traumatized. My son has only been 6 weeks out of Ibiza Calm, so the long-term success in remaining sober remains to be seen, but the change in his attitude and behavior is so profound that I have great hope for the future for the first time in years. I recommend Ibiza Calm without reservation, rather with overwhelming gratitude.
