For anyone who is struggling with alcohol addiction, the very thought of living life without alcohol for even one day is a scary proposition. Many have used alcohol to feel better about themselves, or to mask other feelings they’re trying to suppress. Living life without their magic elixir doesn’t seem possible.

However, at some point, alcohol stops working. No matter how much they try to drink, the pain is still there, and the feelings they’re trying to suppress won’t disappear. Alcohol is no longer their friend.

Alcohol treatment at 12 Palms Recovery Center begins when the client is ready and willing to try a new way of life—a way of life that works.

12 Palms Recovery Center is a rehab in Florida that has a dedicated staff of counselors and therapists who are also recovering alcoholics and addicts—they know full-well what it takes to stay sober on a daily basis. Through a comprehensive set of alcohol treatment program options that include one-on-one counseling sessions, group therapy, peer-to-peer groups, daily AA meetings, introduction to the 12-Steps and other therapeutic options, each client can begin to experience the joy of living without alcohol one day at a time.

A number of clients at 12 Palms were skeptical at first—they had tried alcohol treatment in the past, only to return to the bottle time and time again. At 12 Palms Recovery Center, clients are engaged in their own recovery through a rigorous daily schedule of therapy, meetings, interaction with other clients and many other activities specifically designed to show each client that each day in sobriety can be meaningful and productive.

There is a saying in Alcoholics Anonymous—when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Oftentimes, clients at 12 Palms Recovery Center don’t get the message of sobriety right away. For some, the willingness isn’t quite there. However, after continuing to be open to receive the message, the light does eventually turn on. They see the hope that can come when they live life one day at a time, and through the example of others in recovery, they see that they too can experience a life in recovery that’s beyond their wildest dreams.
