Alcoholism in Norway is one of the most destructive addictions. It is all the more dangerous because many people do not even realize that they are becoming alcoholics. We talk to Jarosław about how to deal with this problem and what are the first symptoms of its appearance.

Ignorance is the problem

It is worth knowing that in Norway worked out great solutions to deal with alcoholism. However, addicts are often of them do not usebecause it is simply about them in the world they don't know. It is ignorance that most often stands in the way of fighting addiction. On the one hand - nieknowing that you are addicted. On the other hand, it is nieknowledge about existing forms of support.

Alcoholism in Norway - how to cope?

Once we have taken the first step and we will become aware of our problem, as Jarosław suggests - at the beginning we should go to the family doctor. You should talk to him like with a friend. We tell him that we have a problem, not to mention Fr. what amounts of alcohol are we talking about. The doctor then issues us a leave of absence medical. He will also direct research for depressionwhich is often behind the problem of alcoholism.

Sick leave in any case

It is worth mentioning at this point the fact that sick leave with such a diagnosis, the disease is issued almost always. The doctor won't he wanted to take responsibility for an accident that may happen to a person suffering from alcoholism. It may be, for example, an incident at work - a drunk employee may fall off the scaffolding.

We have an exemption - what next?

The doctor will issue not only a sick leave, but also a referral for a psychological or psychiatric consultation. The waiting time for such a visit is usually month of time. Unfortunately, this is the procedural time you have it is impossible to jump. After consulting a psychiatrist issues a referralfor further action.

This is usually done within 2-3 days.

How does it look like?
