Alcoholism

Alcoholism Treatment in Nairobi

Alcohol dependency in Kenya and East Africa is a significant clinical reality — affecting people across all demographics, and often going unaddressed because of stigma, lack of specialist resource, or the belief that the problem is not yet serious enough. Dr Jacquet trained at Hazelden Foundation and Hope-One, with over 25,000 hours of one-to-one addiction work. Sessions available online from Nairobi via secure video.

What Alcoholism Treatment Involves

Alcoholism treatment is not primarily about managing the drinking. It is about understanding the function alcohol serves — what it regulates, what it provides that the person cannot currently find elsewhere — and building alternatives. The drinking is a solution to a problem. The task is to find other solutions.

Dual Diagnosis

Alcoholism rarely arrives alone. Depression, anxiety, trauma, and relational difficulties are common co-presenting problems. The integrative approach addresses all presenting material simultaneously. Family members can also benefit from clinical support for codependency and enabling patterns.
