At Valor Lakes, we understand the devastating impact of alcohol misuse on individuals, families, and communities. Alcohol-related issues are among the leading preventable causes of death in the U.S., with over 178,000 lives lost annually and more than 200 health conditions linked to alcohol misuse. This month, we bring into the spotlight an innovative treatment: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Initially designed to treat trauma, EMDR has proven effective in addressing the deep-seated emotional issues often intertwined with substance abuse, including alcohol addiction. Why EMDR? It involves guided eye movements to help patients process and release the emotional distress that may fuel their addiction. This method, combined with principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, can offer a transformative path to recovery. At Valor Lakes, our commitment to your recovery is backed by evidence-based therapies tailored to each individual’s needs, including those battling alcohol use disorder (AUD). Let’s take steps towards courageous transformation together. #AlcoholAwarenessMonth #EMDR #Recovery #ValorLakes #MentalHealthAwareness #SubstanceAbuseRecovery #Orlando #Clermont
