Alcohol Treatment Center

Alcoholism affects millions of people worldwide. The disease of alcoholism continues to be a growing problem in our society. The National Center for Biotechnology Information estimates that one in six Americans has a problem with drinking.

Alcoholism can affect anyone – it does not matter your age, race, or financial status. This is a disease that can strike even the most unsuspecting victims, although genetics do play a role in the possible development of alcoholism. If someone in your family has or had a drinking problem, the risk for your own development of a drinking problem is increased.

Environmental factors can also be a contributing factor towards alcoholism. If you grew up in a home where regular or heavy drinking was considered “normal”, then you could develop a drinking problem later in life.

On the other side of the coin, other people who grew up in an alcohol-free home later suffer from alcoholism. The “Why” is not nearly as important as the “What.” As in, “What do I do now?” If you think you have a problem with drinking, His House can help!

Our men’s rehab center offers both inpatient and outpatient programs for the treatment of alcoholism.

The first step in getting help is admitting you could have a problem.

Questions to Ask Yourself

A few questions you might want to ask yourself are:

• How often do you drink?
• Do you drink to get drunk?
• Have you ever “blacked out?”
• Have you ever missed work due to drinking?
• Are you unable to stop drinking even if you want to?
• Do you wake up in the morning thinking about a drink?
• Do you have a drink to calm your nerves and shakiness?
• Do you ever drink alone?
• Do you have alcohol in secret hiding spots throughout your house?
• Has drinking become a priority in your life?
• Have you said or done things while intoxicated that you regret?
• Has family or friends ever commented on your drinking habits?

If you answered yes to three or more of these questions, you could have a problem with alcohol. For a more detailed assessment, visit our alcoholic drinking self-assessment page.

“A man who drinks too much on occasion is still the same man as he was sober. An alcoholic, a real alcoholic, is not the same man at all. You can’t predict anything about him for sure, except that he will be someone you never met before.” ― Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye

Getting the Help You Need

We can provide you with an assessment which will help uncover if you are suffering from alcoholism. The assessment will also help determine which alcohol treatment program can best fit your needs.

Our men’s treatment programs are completely confidential. You do not have to worry about anyone discovering that you are getting help if you do not wish for them to know. The length of time a person stays in our inpatient program varies, depending on the severity of the disease and other external factors.

Treatment is essential for healing – and the first step to treatment is detox. Our detox services ensure a safe and monitored environment for withdrawal from alcohol.

Side Effects of Withdrawal Symptoms

• Anxiety
• Irritability
• Sweating
• Vomiting
• Mood swings
• Hallucinations
• Seizures
• Tremors

If you have been drinking heavily for a long period, we highly suggest medical supervision during the withdrawal period from alcohol. Alcohol detoxification is considered a medical emergency.

Our medically trained staff is caring and compassionate. We will make sure you are as comfortable as possible throughout this time.

“Whether I or anyone else accepted the concept of alcoholism as a disease didn’t matter; what mattered was that when treated as a disease, those who suffered from it were more likely to recover.” ― Craig Ferguson, American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot
