Alcohol addiction can cause damage to your health, relationships, and finances. Over time, alcohol abuse can cause changes in the brain that make it difficult to stop drinking on your own. For many individuals who struggle with alcohol addiction, a detox center program is the best first step on the road to recovery.
At Lotus Recovery Centers, we offer an alcohol detox program designed to help our clients safely detox and begin treatment. Learn more by contacting us at 833.922.1615 today.
Do You Need Alcohol Detox?
Routine use of alcohol or binge drinking can result in the development of dependence. This is a condition in which your brain becomes reliant on the use of alcohol. It seeks out more access to alcohol. When you do not drink, you feel intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Detoxing on your own can be dangerous. However, in an alcohol detox center, you’ll have access to medical care and support that can help you build a strong foundation for recovery.
You may benefit from alcohol detox if you:
- Use alcohol daily or most days of the week
- Struggle with not drinking for any amount of time
- Consume a large amount of alcohol
- Binge drink several times a month
- Hide how much you are drinking
One of the keys to consider is withdrawal. A person who is dependent on alcohol will experience intense cravings when they do not use. You may also have physical symptoms of withdrawal. These symptoms can include headaches, muscle pain, unexplained feelings of being ill, as well as feelings of anxiety and mood swings. However, certain medications can help you feel relief from these withdrawal symptoms.
What to Expect in Alcohol Detox
In our alcohol detox programs, we use an approach that combines medication, medical care, therapy, and counseling to help our clients succeed.
- Medication – Vivitrol can be used to help relieve withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings
- Medical care – We’ll ensure that withdrawal symptoms, even severe ones, do not cause complications
- Therapy and counseling – During detox, you can begin to heal from the underlying causes of addiction
We offer both group and individual therapy to help our clients make lasting changes in their lives. During group therapy sessions, you’ll connect with others in recovery and can learn from their experiences. You’ll find a network of support in our treatment centers, and have the opportunity to build relationships that will help you on your journey. In individual therapy, you’ll work one-on-one with a therapist to understand how things like past trauma or mental health issues might have contributed to your alcohol addiction. You’ll develop healthy coping skills that will help you maintain your sobriety even after leaving our treatment center.
