ZAD Alcohol Detoxification Treatment– Sec.38

Authors Note: - Zero Alcohol Drink – Alcohol Detoxification Clinical Therapy (ZAD-ADCT) is the most important Document so far in my ZAD venture. It was first published in 2005. In this blog publication, I divide it into its several small “subtitle” sections and post it one by one so to make it more appropriate to the blog reading.

This is its Thirty Eight section.


ZAD-ADCT Final Third Week (c)

Nevertheless, it should be made clear in this final session that we don’t foster any such grand illusion that every one who undergo this therapy will come out of the alcohol dependence! --- Many may fail and resort to their old habit of excessive alcohol consumption. --- However, still all hopes are not lost, they may eventually return back to this ZAD practice when they realize that it is time for them to receive the alcohol detoxification and its treatment. --- They have already learned its procedure and undergone its experience and acquired its essential skills, hence it is for them to choose between the ZAD practice or the conventional total abstinence detoxifications where they can have as many admissions! --- Nevertheless the ZAD-ADCT left in them an indelible LAB drinking experience in life and has exposed them to this “ light alcohol-drinking model”. In this direction a research report by Collins, R.L.; et al. (2001) comments; ‘individuals…drink less when exposed to a light drinking models’[62]. Another research conducted by Caudill-B-D; et al. (1980) remarks: ‘Alcoholics drinking behavior can be modified by the social influences of modeling that also cast doubts on the loss of control hypothesis’! [63]. Apart from this, the ZAD model under its alcohol control policy puts forward a proposal for some “Safe Drinking Bars”[61], which aims to serves exclusively the lower-alcoholic beverages having between 2.5% to 1.2% alcohol content and the non-alcoholic beverages to the alcohol dependent (addicted, alcoholic) people to enable them to reduce their overall alcohol consumption and to come out of its dependence when the ZAD-ADCT not available for them for whatever reasons!

Finally the success or failure of ZAD-ADCT simply cannot be determined at the end of its three weeks. --- It calls for a minimum of one year of follow up or the observational period to confirm its result for the purpose of its research. --- In this connection the participants should be given a glimpse of the future work-out, which has been explained briefly in the next “ZAD-ADCT Follow up section”. Perhaps ensuring a study supply of non-alcoholic (around 0.5% alcohol) beverage to a fair price or any other such motivational apparatus that may contribute in facilitating their ZAD practice will be highly appreciated at the end.
