If you feel the need to drink to combat stress, if you can&#039;t stop at just one drink, or if you feel guilty and hide from your loved ones, it&#039;s a psychological addiction.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1784895880260\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">How long does a therapeutic process for alcohol addiction last?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>The process varies depending on the length and severity of use. Typically, a first stage of stabilization and understanding of the mechanisms lasts between 3 and 6 months, followed by a period of consolidation and relapse prevention of up to 12 months.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1786245091738\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Is drug treatment or detoxification also necessary?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>In cases of severe physical dependence (where stopping abruptly causes tremors, sweating, or physical withdrawal), a psychiatric\/medical evaluation and supervised detoxification are absolutely necessary. Psychotherapy complements the medical process, addressing the underlying emotional causes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id786_5a532c-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id786_5a532c-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id786_5a532c-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id786_5a532c-84 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id786_5a532c-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id786_5a532c-84 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id786_5a532c-84 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column786_5ead7e-e9\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore the topic on the Blog<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-posts-id-786_d23541-7e .entry.loop-entry .entry-header .entry-title{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-md, 1.25rem);}.kb-posts-id-786_d23541-7e .kb-post-list-item{display:grid;}<\/style><ul class=\"wp-block-kadence-posts kb-posts kadence-posts-list kb-posts-id-786_d23541-7e content-wrap grid-cols kb-posts-style-boxed grid-sm-col-2 grid-lg-col-3 item-image-style-above\"><li class=\"kb-post-list-item\">\n\t<article class=\"entry content-bg loop-entry post-783 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-sanatate-mintala category-psihologie tag-dependente\">\n\t\t\t\t<a aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"post-thumbnail kadence-thumbnail-ratio-9-16\" href=\"https:\/\/elenapap.com\/en\/dependenta-de-alcool\/\" aria-label=\"Alcohol Addiction\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"post-thumbnail-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/elenapap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dependenta-de-Alcool-3-300x200.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"Dependen\u021ba de Alcool\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elenapap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dependenta-de-Alcool-3-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/elenapap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dependenta-de-Alcool-3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/elenapap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dependenta-de-Alcool-3-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/elenapap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dependenta-de-Alcool-3-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/elenapap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dependenta-de-Alcool-3.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a><!-- .post-thumbnail -->\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-content-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<header class=\"entry-header\">\n\t<h2 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elenapap.com\/en\/dependenta-de-alcool\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Alcohol Addiction<\/a><\/h2>\t<div class=\"entry-meta entry-meta-divider-dot\">\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n\t<\/header><!-- .entry-header -->\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t<\/footer><!-- .entry-footer -->\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dependen\u021ba de Alcool \u2013 Cauze, Simptome \u0219i Terapie | Psiholog Constan\u021ba Dependen\u021ba de alcool este o tulburare complex\u0103 a sistemului de recompens\u0103 din creier, caracterizat\u0103 prin incapacitatea de a controla consumul, \u00een ciuda consecin\u021belor negative pe plan personal, profesional \u0219i fizic.
