Stop Binge Drinking & Chronic Alcohol Abuse - Counselling In Brighton Melbourne
Binge drinking is more common than you might think. Because of that, a lot of people who can be categorised as being binge drinkers have been able to seek effective treatment. Despite a culture that approves of social drinking, alcohol-related disorders and associated consequences are rampant. Chronic alcohol abuse can lead to brain and liver functioning damage and contribute to mental health problems and problems with intimate and social relationships.
Alcohol is a toxic drug which can increase the risk of cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, dementia and dependence (NHMRC 2001 [accessed 27/05/09]). There are a lot of different reasons for binge drinking and alcohol addiction. But the reasons for excessive drinking aren't as important as finding a solution. I can help you chagne.

Let’s work together to overcome binge drinking and put you in control
When it comes to binge drinking, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and psychotherapy can be used together to help people who binge drink achieve greater self awareness and control over their habits. With a willingness to work through issues most people who were once binge drinkers feel so much better within themselves and less controlled by alcohol.
How long will treatment take?
After a few treatment sessions, we can discuss progress and either continue down the current path or alter treatment based on your needs. Everyone is different. Treatment and progress will depend on how deeply rooted the drinking problem is, and how willing you are to address issues. My recommendations may include regular sessions for long term results and after you have things under control, we could decide to space out frequency of sessions until you are ready to discontinue them. A major factor in treatment duration includes how committed you are to changing drinking habits.
