Countless individuals could benefit from treatment in an alcohol rehab in Sun City, many without realizing it.
Alcohol is a widely accepted substance that is commonly present in social situations, celebrations, holidays, and relaxation.
This makes it incredibly easy to access but hard to understand and manage.
Many individuals with alcohol addictions won’t realize or admit that they have a problem until they experience some kind of trauma, like a damaged relationship, job loss, accident, or troubling withdrawal symptoms.
However, with such a wide-spread problem comes wide-spread professional help and effective solutions.
Alcohol addiction is not always easy to predict. Two friends may drink just as frequently, and one may develop an addiction while the other does not.
What we do know is that there are several factors that contribute to the likelihood of addiction, including:
Family history is a very large factor in alcohol addiction, as research has shown that 45-65% of this liability is related to genetic factors.
Triggers and social pressures are other significantly large factors since alcohol is so readily available.
In order to effectively overcome an addiction like this one, you will need to find productive and practical ways to manage these triggers, pressures, and cravings.
Alcohol rehab in Sun City will help you develop these skills and find long-lasting recovery.
Inpatient alcohol rehab in Sun City is designed to guide alcohol users through a safe, effective, and monitored recovery, starting with a medical detox.
Getting any remaining alcohol out of your system safely while monitoring withdrawal symptoms is a crucial first step, especially if the addiction is particularly severe.
The counseling, therapies, and holistic treatment methods that follow will address the addiction itself, as well as underlying factors, reasons, and causes.
Inpatient alcohol rehab takes time depending on the needs and circumstances of each individual that enters the program.
Spending more time together gives us the insight we need to offer you well-rounded and effective care so that you are not coming in to address one problem and leaving with others still intact.
Additional addictions and underlying mental health conditions, both of which are very common and can make it harder to find lasting sobriety after alcohol rehab treatment, so it’s crucial to address each barrier during your stay.
For some patients with milder addictions, no underlying conditions, and responsibilities at home, an outpatient alcohol rehab in Sun City may be an effective alternative to traditional inpatient options.
However, because a medical detox if often needed, inpatient care is usually recommended, with outpatient care coming after graduation.
In outpatient and aftercare treatments, you will find lasting support and guidance so that you can continue to say no to temptations and achieve a healthy and sober life long after you leave our facility.
Many patients will find that they’ve creative life-long support groups in their time with us.
Severe alcohol addictions often lead to particularly intense withdrawal symptoms, which is one reason of many that we recommend a supervised, medical alcohol detox to our patients.
Complications during withdrawal can be fatal if they are severe enough but detoxing in a safe and controlled environment can eliminate these complications.
Common alcohol withdrawal symptoms may include shakes, excessive sweats, seizures, and hallucinations. A medical alcohol detox not only helps us monitor your withdrawal symptoms, but it also helps ease pain and discomfort, as well as keeping an eye on potential complications.
After a detox is complete, we can move on to your inpatient treatment plan. Inpatient treatment allows you to focus solely on recovery, without distractions or temptations.
This is often particularly beneficial to patients with severe addictions, co-existing addictions, mental health concerns, and others that have unsuccessfully tried other treatment methods first.
An alcohol detox in Sun City may be met with certain approved medications to ease your withdrawal symptoms.
Depending on your needs, these medications may also be used to help you avoid relapse or generate negative reactions like nausea to alcohol consumption so your desire to drink is eliminated. Medications like these have proven very helpful in achieving long-term alcohol abstinence.
These are the three medications approved for treating alcohol dependence:
The medication prescribed will depend on the doctor’s preference and the patient’s preference, needs, and addiction. Each one works a bit differently but all three are effective.
Starting with naltrexone, this medication blocks opioid receptors that are responsible for feelings of reward after drinking, as well as related cravings. This particular medication comes in two forms: a daily oral or a once-per-month injection.
Acamprosate, on the other hand, is incredibly effective for reducing withdrawal and abstinence symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, and restlessness. This medication works by interacting with your neurotransmitter systems. The most common administration method for acamprosate is an oral dose three times each day.
Lastly, disulfiram works by interfering with the way alcohol degrades in the body. This results in an increase in acetaldehyde in the body. This substance is typically turned into an acid by your liver after you drink alcohol.
Under the medication, the increased accumulation will lead to unpleasant symptoms when you drink alcohol.
These symptoms might include flushing skin, nausea, and palpitations. Disulfiram is typically taken orally once per day.
