Alcohol Detox Tarzana

Alcohol Detox Tarzana

The detoxification process for people suffering from alcoholism is one of the most demanded services in the best recovery centers in Tarzana. This type of addictive substance is widespread in practically all western countries, even among young people and professionals. And to stop using them, professional help is needed.

So... What does our treatment service for patients undergoing alcohol detoxification consist of? In this article, you will find an overview of how the alcohol detoxification process occurs at our residential inpatient treatment centers in Tarzana and the necessary information you need to know about it.

There are many reasons why alcoholism is a severe problem that needs to be taken seriously from the very beginning.

Alcohol is one of the most addictive substances, which means that it significantly limits the decision making of those who begin to develop a disorder of this type; at the same time, it dramatically increases the risk of developing pathologies beyond the addiction itself: cancer, neurological diseases, etc. It also dramatically increases the risk of developing addictions to other substances.

Finally, receiving alcohol detoxification treatment as soon as possible is also very important. After all, without professional help, it is challenging to "unhook" from drinking, among other things, because its use and abuse are very normalized in our society: in everyday life, addicted people are exposed to many situations that lend themselves to drinking a single drink, which in a matter of minutes is usually transformed into a succession of them. Relapsing is very common, and it is necessary to prepare oneself in the best possible way with addiction experts' help.

These are the three pillars of our approach to treating alcoholism at our addiction treatment center in Tarzana:

1. The first hours are key

As with many drugs, the most challenging part of overcoming addiction comes in the first few hours after stopping the substance.

Alcohol withdrawal presents its peak of discomfort two or three days after the last consumption and continues in a milder and more bearable version for a few weeks. During this first stage, it is very easy to relapse if professional support is not available. This is, in many ways, the pure detoxification part, as it is the time when most of the alcohol leaves the body.

2. Training in stress management techniques

Continued exposure to stressful experiences increases the risk of consuming alcohol and deepening the development of addictions. That is why, in the process of treatment against alcohol dependence, health professionals address this area by helping people to use stress and anxiety management resources.

3. It is important not to exchange addictions

In the alcohol detoxification phase, people often try to alleviate their discomfort by taking other drugs. This should be avoided at all costs because, in these moments of vulnerability, one is more vulnerable to the development of new addictions: in other words, one does not start from zero, as someone who has never taken any psychoactive drug with addictive potential would do.

As we have seen, the fight against addiction is not something that you should carry out only through introspection; it is also reflected in the behavioral aspect, how the patient relates to the environment and others. Moreover, this is also true in the first days of quitting; during alcohol detoxification, a team of qualified professionals must accompany the patient to one of our Tarzana treatment centers to help from different disciplines.

Therefore, in a therapeutic process against alcoholism, elements of medical assistance and psychotherapeutic assistance elements coexist to adopt new habits and routines that serve to stay away from situations in which it would be too easy to relapse.
