Undoubtedly, a positive choice is the help of a psychologist in the situation with alcoholism of children. If you want to save your child, especially a teenager, bans, intimidation and punishments do not work for him, if he wants to drink, he will sooner find an excuse, reason, an opportunity, etc. If you want to rid the child of alcoholism, you need, above all, to work on his mind, motivate him to the right decision about alcohol, work on his spirituality, feelings, help him in all aspects of the soul.
Often parents also need psychological help. If they recognize their child as a sick person, the situation is hopeless, they suffer, they become co-addicted. Moreover, such a tragedy in the family leads to constant emotional failures of parents, stresses and neuroses caused by experiences for their child, and this is completely and completely understandable. A child who consumes alcohol and suffers alcohol dependence changes, his character is bad, mood constantly deteriorates, apathy to life arises, inability to control himself and his actions, to answer for his words, there are attacks of aggression, irritation, rudeness towards parents , unwillingness to communicate with them. The child becomes entangled in himself, and thereby gives himself up to the torment of alcoholism. He can not himself improve his mood, manage his feelings, be and communicate in a company without alcohol. Only with his help he relaxes and becomes psychologically dependent on him. A sense of fun, ambiguity in thoughts attracts a teenager, without him he can no longer live. Even if he wants to "quit", there will come a period when he again begins to consume alcohol. Great influence is his friends. If a teenage drinking company, then there is no doubt that he too will be involved in alcohol dependence, alcohol will seem to him a normal phenomenon, and even on the contrary, friends encourage the child to drink with them, tell the funny stories that happen during or after drinking alcohol. Alcohol in the mind of the child ceases to occupy such a place that he should, he no longer seems to harm him for the organism, because, as it is, everyone drinks and no one dies, his negative consequences become indifferent, and the fall of morality, lack of conscience during alcohol intake - tempting. Alcohol begins to look in his eyes like a drink that allows him to have a good and fun time with friends, have fun, give himself up to his action and get a lot of fun stories as a result, add a bit of drama to his life. As a result, the child becomes antisocial, alcohol can cause many of his troubles, including in relation to relatives, friends, girlfriend, environment and law.
To all persons who take alcohol for a long time, the help of a psychologist, psychotherapy from alcohol dependence will be useful. This, first of all, will help to establish relationships in the family, because the consequence of alcoholism of the child are constant reproaches, mutual claims, quarrels, intolerance. Periodically, a child may have a feeling of guilt, but it does not save from alcohol, but can make the state much worse - apathy, indifference, a feeling of powerlessness about the fight against alcohol. Lack of hope leads to a lack of motivation. Parents should not blame the child, scold and beat him, blame them for all their troubles, no matter how hard it is, but children should be treated with understanding, they should feel your love and trust, otherwise they will not be able to cope on their own. The psychologist helps to eliminate intrafamilial conflicts, to establish relations between the child and his parents, and his attitude to himself, to motivate him to fight alcohol, to open his eyes to its consequences and to remove the pink tempting veil behind which alcohol first hides. Treatment of the patient always begins with the moment when he recognizes his alcoholism and dependence, wants to fix it. No one can change a person if he does not want it, so a person needs to realize that he has a problem that harms not only him, but his family. Since that moment, the code the child realizes that he has a problem, and treatment begins with alcohol.
Nevertheless, psychological help will not replace the treatment of a psychiatrist-narcologist. If the case is really hard and no methods help in the fight against dependence, the child needs to be rehabilitated and placed in a clinic, to motivate him to everything new, including a lifestyle, throwing old habits. Alcoholism often arises in the case of internal problems in the child, due to some kind of conflict within his soul. The reasons can be quite different, but here a conversation with a psychologist will help to identify these individual problems of the child and help him cope with them, in the future such an inclination and motivation for alcohol will disappear.
Undoubtedly, the help of a psychologist in this difficult life situation is necessary, and sometimes it plays even a decisive role and is the only way out. But you should not forget about the significant role of parents in the child, their success often depends on their behavior, as well as the outcome. Do not blame the child, support him and do not let him forget that you love him. Then the problem of alcohol will be solved, and together you can help it.
