Treatment & Rehab for Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol Addiction
We offer bespoke treatment & rehab for alcohol addiction.
Alcohol, specifically ethanol, is the intoxicating component found in beverages like beer, wine, and spirits. It is a psychoactive substance, which means it affects the way the brain works, triggering changes in mood, perception, thoughts, feelings, and behaviour.
It is produced through the fermentation of sugars by yeasts and has been consumed by humans for thousands of years. Commonly associated with celebrations and socialising, however, alcohol is toxic. It can affect the body’s health, leading to serious physical and mental health conditions, and causing both psychological and physical dependence, and addiction.
Problem drinking, alcohol misuse, alcoholism, and alcohol use disorder are all terms which refer to a manner of alcohol consumption that is harmful to health, finances, or relationships, and in some cases all three, i.e., the excessive, compulsive, and repeated use of alcohol despite continuing negative consequences. It can also mean that you are dependent on alcohol, emotionally or physically.
According to some experts, the electrical brainwaves in people suffering from alcoholism differ from those who are non-alcoholic, meaning that alcoholism is a physical and psychological disease.
In the UK – there are nine million problem drinkers, and 7% of the adult population has alcohol dependence. Around 33,000 people die yearly because of alcoholism, and many more suffer health problems such as liver disease, pancreatitis, diabetes, and heart problems.
Worldwide – 3 million deaths a year are attributable to alcohol use, and according to the World Health Organization it is the leading risk factor for premature mortality and disability among those aged 15 to 49 years.

Potential signs of alcohol use disorder.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is the most common substance use disorder in the world. It can affect anyone, from any walk of life, at any time.
Drinking larger amounts, or more frequently.
Failing to keep up with responsibilities at home, or with work.
Harmful or even dangerous consequences to drinking
Problems in close relationships due to alcohol.
Struggling to stop or cut back

Drinking to try and stop feelings.
Being secretive about amounts drunk or drinking alone.
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms, tremors, or cravings.
These are just some of the signs that there is an issue with the way you drink.
If you find you are drinking when you don’t really want to, you feel guilty about how much or when you are drinking, or that you are drinking despite it causing you either physical or emotional problems then it is a good idea to speak to someone.
* Diagnosis of any addiction/mental health disorder requires a thorough examination by a fully qualified, licensed medical professional.

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.

Angst, depressie en bipolaire stoornis
The mental health problems that most commonly co-occur with substance abuse are anxiety disorders, depression, and bipolar disorder.
It is estimated that 20% of people diagnosed with an alcohol or substance use disorder will also suffer from anxiety or another mood disorder.
Research shows that people with alcoholism are more than six times more likely to suffer from bipolar disorder than the general population, and almost four times more likely to have major depressive disorder.
At Ibiza Calm we carefully assess for anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder on admission, and provide individualised therapy that is tailored to each client.
These conditions may have already been diagnosed, but often not, it is frequently difficult to identify a mental health disorder whilst the individual is continuing to use substances. Our medical director will assess if those ups and downs are a separate condition, or the result of a drinking/drug taking lifestyle, and what is the best way forward.
