Phoenix Alcohol Rehab

(AUD) achieve sobriety, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and develop strategies to prevent relapse. Rehab programs provide medical, psychological, and social support to address the various aspects of addiction.

You might need alcohol rehab if you experience cravings, withdrawal symptoms, loss of control over alcohol consumption, or negative impacts on your personal or professional life due to alcohol use. A healthcare professional can help assess the severity of your AUD and recommend appropriate treatment options.

The admission process typically involves an initial assessment to determine the severity of the AUD, any co-occurring mental health disorders, and the most appropriate treatment plan. This may be followed by a medical detoxification, if necessary, before beginning the rehabilitation program.

Patients who undergo alcohol detox are kept under close observation and care. Medication is usually administered to keep the patient comfortable. Some high-quality detox facilities are unique, beautiful homes in residential areas. Other detox facilities take place in inpatient facilities. In this level of care, patients participate in therapeutic groups so that the main focus is getting the healing and rest their bodies need.

Alcoholism is treated through a therapeutic and educational curriculum. Some types of therapy include individual, group, and family therapy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is also an effective way to treat alcoholism.

Detoxing home from alcohol at home is never recommended. Detoxing from alcohol without proper medical attention and supervision has proven fatal time and time again. Attempting to detox from alcohol on your own is something that you should never consider.

Alcohol in large quantities is toxic to the body and causes changes in your metabolism and central nervous system. Your body begins to rely heavily on alcohol, and abruptly stopping drinking can be fatal.

It causes both psychological and physical symptoms of withdrawal. The symptoms experienced during alcohol withdrawal are tremors, sweating, elevated pulse and blood pressure, nausea, insomnia, and anxiety.

If you have become severely physically dependent on alcohol and you suddenly attempt to stop drinking, you run the risk of seizures and organ failure. These withdrawal symptoms can begin 1-3 days after your last drink and can last for 2-10 days. Alcohol withdrawal can be fatal, depending on the length of time and severity of the dependence.

Severe alcohol withdrawal is also called “delirium tremens.” This condition can cause heart problems and fatal injuries during seizures. Alcohol detox is best done under the supervision of a medical professional.

Medical detox can include medications to help your system in balance and prevent further complications. Detox is the first step, and treatment should always follow once detox is complete. Please call us today if you need more information on finding a professional detox treatment center. 

Effective detox centers place a great emphasis on getting their patients through the detox process safely and comfortably. Once medical providers feel confident that the detox is complete and the patient is stable, the real work of recovery begins. Patients are immersed in an educational and therapeutic environment where they receive several different types of therapy including individual, group, and family. Detox is just the first step on the road to recovery.

Oftentimes, there is a question if there is an underlying mental health disorder. In these cases, patients need treatment for co-occurring disorders. The main goal of co-occurring disorder treatment is to diagnose and treat any underlying mental health disorders along with the alcoholism. One thing to consider is that alcohol can induce mental health disorder symptoms. Once patients receive alcoholism treatment, these symptoms sometimes go away once a person is no longer drinking. However, for those who truly do suffer from a mental health disorder, providers are specialized in treating co-occurring disorders. You can trust us to help you find treatment for co-occurring disorders that has the highest standards of care.

If alcohol is not the only substance that is being abused, the patient has a polysubstance disorder. If this is the situation that you find yourself or a loved one in, it is urgent that you give us a call to start the process of treatment. We can help you get onto the road to recovery.

Length of treatment stay varies depending on several different factors. Stays are usually 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 days. For patients who need long-term care, patients can enroll in an independent living program. 

These programs allow former patients to stay for up to a year after they graduate treatment. In general, longer treatment programs are more effective. Studies have found that the longer the treatment stay, the higher the chance of long-term success.

You should have the right to choose a recovery path that works for you as an individual. Once patients leave treatment, it’s essential for them to have already chosen a community recovery program to get involved with. 

These include: 12 Step Programs, SMART Recovery, Celebrate Recovery, and others. We can help you choose these programs while in treatment. We do not believe that your recovery journey ends after you have graduated from treatment; it is an ongoing process.

Because alcohol is legal and usually socially acceptable, it can be hard for the person you love to see that they have a problem. If your loved one is already reaping harsh and negative consequences that come with alcoholism but still insisting that there isn’t a problem, you may need to take a more careful approach. Give us a call today, and our recovery specialists can help you make an intervention plan.
