What Is Alcohol Detox Like?
Feelings of uncertainty and apprehension are typical when seeking help for alcohol addiction, including what detox and rehab centers are like. Most people have an image in their mind that detox facilities are sterile, cold, and unwelcoming places. While some places may hold true to that image, The River Source is among the non-hospital setting detox and rehab facilities. You can enjoy many of the comforts at home and be treated by caring and compassionate staff. Residential rooms are private or semi-private and include comfortable mattresses with fresh linens and private bathrooms.
Detox starts with a thorough medical evaluation including your mental state and addiction history. Clinicians can then use this information to create personalized treatment plans and anticipate what you may experience during detox. Once you are checked into your room, medical staff will monitor the vitals around the clock and administer medications as withdrawal symptoms arise. While you still may feel some discomfort, medications used in our alcohol detox program can greatly reduce the worst withdrawal symptoms and cravings. You will also enjoy freshly prepared, nutritious meals and access to holistic therapies to support the detox process. You may also begin participating in individual and group therapy sessions to support you during this difficult process.
How Long Does Detox Last?
Alcohol detox Can last between 5 to 10 days on average. However, each person will react differently, and pending on several factors it may last longer. Factors such as the severity and longevity of alcohol addiction, polysubstance abuse, and overall health can influence how long your body takes to detox. Withdrawal symptoms typically arise within 6 to 12 hours after your last drink, including mild symptoms like insomnia, tremors, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, diarrhea, and increased heart rate. Between 24 to 48 hours into detox, is when people may experience hallucinations and seizures. After two to three days, symptoms will peak, and you will begin to feel better. While these are symptoms that you may experience while withdrawing from alcohol alone, The River Source provides you with medications that will ease these discomforts. Naturopathic and holistic therapies can also help your body eliminate toxins more easily and quickly. Occasionally, individuals will experience mild, lingering withdrawal symptoms for weeks or months later. These symptoms can be managed with medications, holistic treatment, and psychotherapy.
