Alcohol Detox Treatment

If you are reading this, chances are that you or a loved one have a problem with drinking. If you or someone you know has recently decided to stop drinking, you have arrived at the right place. Whether you are unsure if drinking has become a problem or if you recognize a need for help, His House is here to support you.

The basic definition of an alcoholic from the book Alcoholics Anonymous is “a physical compulsion to drink coupled with a mental obsession.” If you find that you are unable to stop drinking entirely on your own, even with the desire present, you could have a problem with alcohol. A person does not have to be classified as an alcoholic to have an issue with drinking. Is drinking causing problems in your life and relationships? With alcohol addiction treatment, it is possible to overcome problems with drinking and alcoholism.

“The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics are wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structured help, they have no hope.” – Russell Brand

At His House, we understand that willpower alone is not enough to combat a drinking problem. Alcoholism is a chronic disease of the mind, body, and spirit. The reasons behind not being able to successfully abandon the drink on your own are not a reflection of your character or inner strength. In fact, problem drinkers and alcoholics are some of the smartest, kindest, and most intelligent people we know.

Treatment

Treatment is an essential part of addressing the problems associated with alcohol. The safe parameters of our men’s alcohol detox program will provide you with excellent care and superb medical attention. The withdrawal symptoms from alcohol can vary in severity, so our patients are closely monitored by our highly trained medical staff to ensure that the period of withdrawal goes as safely and smoothly as possible.

What You Can Expect When Stopping Drinking

Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can begin as early as two hours after the last drink is consumed. Common symptoms of alcohol withdrawal include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Anxiety
• Agitation
• Irritability
• Headaches
• Loss of appetite
• Nightmares
• Increased body temperature
• High blood pressure
• Increased heart rate
• Disorientation
• Seizures
• Delirium tremors

Alcohol withdrawal is considered a medical emergency; our alcohol detox treatment program will allow you to face and endure any or all of these symptoms safely and with as much comfort as possible. Symptoms typically peak within 2 to 4 days and may linger for up to 2 weeks as your body flushes out the last remnants of alcohol. Because of the severity of withdrawal from alcohol, it is imperative that the detoxification process is not attempted alone.

His House’s men’s-only rehab and detox can help you transition successfully through each phase. We will teach you how to stay sober when the going gets rough and the thought of a drink to quell the symptoms becomes an obsession. Once the stages of withdrawal have completed their course, we suggest seeking additional treatment and help.

“Believe more deeply. Hold your face up to the light even though for the moment you do not see.” – Bill Wilson, Cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous

We can help you learn the tools that will aid you in living a life free from drinking. The withdrawal period from alcohol can be a very difficult time in your life. We do not believe anyone should go through this alone; alcohol detoxification should never be attempted without professional help. Some very serious and potentially life-threatening side effects can occur as a result of stopping drinking.
