Alcohol Detox Program

Alcohol is one of the most abused substances in the US and detoxing from alcohol cold turkey is not only a frequent occurrence in treatment centers but a dangerous one as well. Withdrawal symptoms are not only severe but in rare circumstances, detoxing alone can be deadly.

It takes time for your body to adjust to the changes that occur during alcohol detox. Because of the risks involved, it is always recommended that people who need to get sober be under care at an alcohol detox center to manage the detoxification process.

If you, or someone you know is suffering from alcohol dependence and withdrawal, please call our addiction treatment center located in Temecula, California at (888) 739-8296 for immediate assistance.

What is Alcohol Addiction?

Alcohol addiction or alcohol use disorder is among one of the most serious health problems that the US currently faces. When people have a drug and alcohol problem, they will go out of their way to ensure they constantly have access to the substance of choice. Alcoholism is when someone is drinking to excess and can no longer control the level of their alcohol use.

Addiction is a chronic, disease that affects the brain and body and is defined by a psychological or physical dependence on drugs, alcohol, a behavior, or other substances. When an addictive disorder has formed, a person will pursue their toxic habits despite putting themselves or others in harm’s way. Drug and alcohol addiction creates many negative health consequences and side effects and has a severe impact on a person’s life.

How Much is Too Much?

Keep in mind that a serving of alcohol is:

  • 12 ounces of beer
  • 3-4 ounces of fortified wine (such as sherry or port)
  • 8-9 ounces of malt liquor
  • 5 ounces of wine
  • 1.5 ounces of cognac, brandy, or 80-proof distilled spirits
  • 2-3 ounces of liqueur, cordial, or aperitif

Many places over-serve the amount of alcohol they serve a person. It is easy to do, even when you are at home, if your beer or wine glasses are big.

Symptoms of Addiction and Problem Drinking

The most common signs and symptoms of an alcohol problem include:

  • Drink more, or longer, than you plan to
  • Quit or cut back on other activities that were important to you to drink
  • Have tried to cut back or stop more than once and could not
  • Spend a lot of time drinking, being sick, or hungover
  • Want alcohol so badly you cannot think of anything else
  • You experience alcohol detox or withdrawal when you stop drinking and experience these side effects in your body
  • Have problems in life with work, school, or family because of your habit (or because you are sick after having alcohol)
  • Continue to drink even though it may be causing problems for you in your life or your relationships

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the above signs it may be necessary for you to get help at an addiction treatment center or alcohol rehab. The first step is to call Inland Detox for help and to get information on our addiction treatment programs.

Withdrawal Symptoms | Inland Detox

Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms

For some, symptoms of alcohol withdrawal simply feels like a “hangover.” Nothing much to worry about, right? If you have been using alcohol regularly for an extended period, this is false. The reason alcohol withdrawal is such a serious issue is that those suffering from withdrawal can go from having symptoms of a mild hangover to very severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms quickly.

Signs of alcohol withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, restlessness, sweating, headaches, chills, vomiting and insomnia. However, symptoms for alcoholics can go from mild to severe quickly. Severe symptoms include, but are not limited to seizures, delirium tremens, hallucinations, high-blood pressure, increased heart rate, and severe depression.

Why Medical Detox?

The first step towards recovery often begins with a detox program. Without trained staff at an alcohol detox center to oversee the alcoholic withdrawal and detox process, people suffering from withdrawals will be at-risk for serious health problems such as increased heart rate, or delirium tremens.

A professionally managed alcohol detox program with a treatment provider usually includes medication to help manage the symptoms of withdrawal, reducing the immediate risks to the individual and making the detox process far more comfortable that it would otherwise be.

Unlike a true medical alcohol detox, residential detox takes place in a rehab center. It is comfortable, home-like setting rather than a hospital, providing a far more comfortable overall experience than a cold, medical environment would. Treatment providers like these are specially trained on addiction and being in a detox program will ensure the levels of care are at the best for recovery.

We believe our detox treatment program is one of the best around, and we pride ourselves for delivering high quality detox and treatment care to our clients.

How Does the Detoxification Process Work?

When you arrive in Temecula CA for your medical detoxification program, you will be evaluated by a doctor or mental health professional to determine whether your condition is appropriate for clinical detox.

While at Inland Detox, the first step in detoxification is a process called stabilization; this entails going through the withdrawal process in a comfortable, quiet setting. Once your condition is stable, you will be referred for further substance abuse treatment, generally in an inpatient residential setting to continue your recovery journey.

How to find the Right Addiction Treatment Centers

Choosing where to get treatment can be a difficult decision that people face. All treatment centers will differ in exactly how they are setup and the processes they take to address addiction. One thing most treatment centers have in common is the goal to treat addiction and help individuals in their recovery journey.

Some things to consider when choosing a treatment center is the location of the center, types of treatment programs offered, cost and insurance of the treatment center and the overall environment in where you or your loved one will be staying. If you have specific questions on any of these things you can always call the facility and get more information on what you are looking for.

Our Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Our treatment program approaches alcohol detox as a potentially life-threatening health problem. Our priority is to evaluate our residents to ensure we are the best fit for them. Thereafter, the goal in our treatment program is to help our clients minimize their symptoms of withdrawal. This can include alcohol detox medication prescribed by a licensed medical doctor.

Once the withdrawal symptoms are under control, we help our clients consider their next step in the process of alcohol rehabilitation. Whether that is long-term, inpatient rehabilitation at a facility or if it is an outpatient alternative, our clinical staff will help you pave the way towards success once you leave Inland Detox.

Problem Drinking, Substance Abuse and Your Mental Health

Many alcohol detox centers neglect the mental side of drug and alcohol abuse or addiction, focusing only on managing the physical withdrawal symptoms of an individual. Inland Detox is different – our approach includes individual and group counseling to begin to identify the underlying causes of addiction, setting each person up for success as they transition into further levels of treatment.

We have found that including dual-diagnosis counseling for mental health conditions in alcohol detox treatment helps individuals be better-prepared for the residential treatment environment, as well as increasing the chances of long-term sobriety and success.

Often when people suffer from alcohol addiction, they may also have a co-occurring mental health condition. A treatment plan in recovery should include addressing the other mental health condition in conjunction with the addiction.
