Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol is the most widely consumed legal drug in Spain and worldwide, present in everyday social activities such as family gatherings, with friends, or work colleagues. Although it is associated with moments of fun and socialization, alcoholism is a serious disease that causes the highest number of drug-related hospital admissions. Our treatments to quit alcohol are free of toxic substances and are designed to help you recover your health and well-being.

How Does Alcohol Affect You?
Although we do not socially perceive its real danger, alcohol consumption can cause damage to almost all systems of the human body.
The most notable health problems related to its consumption are:
• Liver fibrosis (loss of healthy liver tissue and its ability to function)
• Alcoholic cirrhosis (healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue that, over time, prevents the liver from functioning properly)
• Arterial hypertension (chronic condition in which blood vessels have persistently high tension, which can damage them)
Other problems caused by alcohol consumption:
• It is often the gateway to the use of other drugs.
• At a psychological level, it generates emotional instability, disinhibition, feelings of euphoria, and motor incoordination.
• At a social level, it causes serious problems in the family environment, friendships, and even at work.
All of this worsens the clinical condition of the alcoholic patient.
Benefits of Quitting Alcohol
Quitting alcohol generates enormous benefits at a physical, psychological, and family level. Overcoming alcohol addiction is not easy, but it can be achieved.
At Centro Clínico, we know this well, because 86% of our patients have already achieved it.
Physical benefits of quitting alcohol:
• Rapid improvement of the immune system.
• Greater protection against diseases.
• There are studies that link it to cancer prevention, such as mouth cancer.
• Weight stabilization, as it commonly causes overweight problems and, in chronic cases, the opposite effect—extreme thinness with all its nutritional implications.
• Stabilization of other liver and stomach biomarkers, improving physical appearance and the person’s well-being.
Psychological benefits of quitting alcohol:
• Starting a new life without any substance controlling their life and emotions. Alcoholic individuals often appear irritable and experience very abrupt mood swings. This seriously harms their emotional health and that of those around them. Processes such as depression and anxiety, as well as other mental illnesses, can also be aggravated.
• Substantial improvement of all cognitive processes, especially those related to memory, concentration, and attention. Therefore, quitting drinking will help you have a clearer mind, think faster, and memorize better.
How We Help You Quit Alcohol
An alcohol addict should not quit drinking abruptly, as they will suffer severe withdrawal syndrome, with symptoms such as tremors, sweating, tachycardia, and anxiety. Therefore, the first step is to consult a professional for support and to assess the best treatment option.
At Centro Clínico, we have treatment centers in different cities in Spain where we help and guide you to begin this detoxification process. Both the patient and their family members will be attended to with the utmost discretion and warmth by one of our professionals.
In a free initial consultation, the medical and therapeutic team will advise you on the most appropriate type of detoxification treatment for each case.
At Centro Clínico, our goal is to return control of their life to the patient, providing all the necessary support and medical supervision that will enable complete cessation of drinking.
There is a way out. Always.

Symptoms of Alcohol Addiction
Symptoms of alcohol addiction can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the amount of symptomatology the patient presents.
These are some of the most common signs and symptoms:
Inability to limit the amount of alcohol consumed.
Desire or failed attempts to reduce the amount of alcohol.
Spending a lot of time drinking or obtaining alcohol, or recovering from its consumption.
Strong and uncontrollable desire or need to drink alcohol.
Failure to meet work, study, or family obligations due to repeated alcohol consumption.
Continued alcohol consumption even when aware that this causes physical, social, or interpersonal problems.
Abandonment or reduction of social or work activities.
Alcohol consumption in situations where it is not safe or appropriate, such as driving.
Development of tolerance to alcohol. Increasingly larger amounts are needed to feel its effect, or there is a reduced effect when consuming the same amount.
Presence of withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, and tremors, when there is no alcohol consumption, or drinking to avoid these symptoms.
Alcohol Detoxification
Detoxification is the first phase of inpatient treatment. In patients with alcohol addiction, it is of utmost importance as withdrawal can be fatal. The risk of delirium tremens is very high, so the patient must be fully monitored during the first hours.
This process is carried out under strict medical supervision. In this phase, medications are used to reverse withdrawal and to facilitate patient comfort during the first hours.
Alcohol Rehabilitation
The rehabilitation process aims to generate a change in the patient's perception of alcohol and help them break the toxic routines and habits that the substance has generated in their behavior. Rehabilitation work is carried out through therapies, which are the main tool for addressing this process.
The therapeutic model of CC Adicciones places substantial importance on this point as it is the foundation of its treatment. Both group and individual therapies, as well as all therapeutic activities designed for this purpose, aim to generate a change in the patient's mindset to distance them from toxic behavior.
Alcohol Recovery
Recovery aims to evaluate and work on the attitudes and skills that the alcohol-addicted patient has lost during the disease process. In most patients, many physical and psychological capacities have been diminished and need to be recovered to lead a full life in abstinence.
This process begins at the clinic once detoxification has been completed and continues to be worked on once the patient returns to their environment.
Reintegration of Patients with Alcoholism
Reintegration aims for the alcohol-addicted patient to resume daily and ordinary life activities in an organized manner. This phase of treatment is carried out once the patient returns to their environment and integrates into the different outpatient treatments that CC Adicciones has throughout the territory.
In this phase, the patient and their family are accompanied to guide them in the process of returning to normalcy. At all times, they are advised by the different professionals working in the various outpatient centers, always following the alcohol recovery model of CC Adicciones.
