What is Alcoholism?

If you are reading this, chances are you or someone you care about has a problem with alcohol. Some of the common warning signs include:

• the need to drink to feel better or to relax
• needing to drink more than before to feel the effects
• losing control over how much or how often you drink
• memory loss or “blackouts”
• withdrawal effects (shakiness, nausea, irritability etc.)

What Causes Alcohol Addiction?

It is generally accepted that addiction to any substance is not caused by a single factor, but rather by a combination of genetic and environmental influences.

How do I Know if I’m an Alcoholic?

Do you find yourself drinking more than you meant to? Perhaps you need more and more alcohol to feel the effects and are often hungover. Maybe you are binge drinking (5+ drinks for men, 4+ drinks for women within several hours), making poor decisions, acting out in ways that you later feel embarrassed about, and being unable to remember parts (“brown out”) or all (“blackout”) of the time you were drunk. These are just a few signs that alcohol could be a problem in your life.

Other possible signs of alcoholism include:

• You feel resentful and defensive when loved ones express concern about you and your drinking.
• You are trying to hide the extent of your drinking.
• You find yourself drinking and driving, or engaging in other risky behaviours.
• You are preoccupied with thoughts of drinking even though you want to stop or slow down.
• You are losing control and feel helpless and ashamed, and have no idea how you ended up in this downward spiral.

Trust us when we say, you are not alone. Alcoholism and alcohol abuse affects millions of families. Newgate 180 can help, so contact us today—hope is just a click away.

The Right Choice for Alcohol Recovery Programs in Ontario

By visiting our website, you have made the first, and most important step in recovery. Newgate 180 is here to help you immediately. You will not be put on a waitlist – you will be welcomed to our centre in a caring and understanding way.

How Our Alcohol Addiction Treatment Program Works

To begin, you will complete a comprehensive assessment and your counsellor will develop a treatment plan that’s right for you. We know each client is unique and we do not use a “one size fits all” approach to treatment.

We offer a minimum of three individual counselling sessions per week in which you can share whatever’s on your mind. We will help you address factors that contribute to your use of alcohol, such as depression, anger, PTSD, financial problems, relationship difficulties etc.

You will work with a Relapse Prevention Counsellor to develop your own Recovery Plan that will be your personalized “road map” to recovery after you leave Newgate.

The End Goal of Addiction Treatment

Through our program, which includes individual and group counselling, art therapy, AA, yoga, fitness training, leisure/recreation, and proper nutrition, you will learn how to create a life worth living without alcohol.

At the Newgate 180 rehab centre, you will rediscover your values and develop a renewed sense of worth. As you become increasingly well mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, you will discover a renewed sense of meaning and purpose. We don’t just want you to heal – we want you to thrive.
