About Alcohol Rehab

Stopping using alcohol or any other substance is the most effective strategy to overcome addiction. When someone goes through alcohol rehab, they abstain from drinking on purpose to give their body time to acclimatize to life without alcohol. Because it requires a person to experience a whole range of withdrawal symptoms, alcohol rehab can be a bit painful and stressful. In some cases, treatment can also be deadly. Withdrawal frequently leads to relapse. However, with the help of The Blanchard Institute, you can safely go through alcohol detox. We have certified technicians that are there to help you every step of the way. While we have medications and treatment plans, you will still have some discomfort throughout the process of alcohol rehab. 

Because some alcohol withdrawal symptoms are harmful, people should detox from alcohol at a rehab facility such as The Blanchard Institute under medical supervision. People who seek treatment for a drinking problem with the assistance of a professional are more likely to complete the process safely and successfully. Although rehab is unpleasant, it is an essential first step for anyone seeking recovery from alcoholism. After detox, you are ready to begin therapy and continue with your treatment.

Why Should You Consider Alcohol Rehab?

Generally speaking, an alcoholic cannot stop drinking on their own. Once the disease has progressed past a certain point, stopping without the use of professional services can become nearly impossible. Even if they do manage to string together a few weeks or months of sobriety, the alcoholic usually returns to their former habits when life becomes more difficult.

The opposite holds true if the alcoholic seeks and receives the treatment they need to recover.  At The Blanchard Institute, we’ve seen thousands of people whose condition might have seemed hopeless when they walked through the door of North Carolina treatment facility. But after receiving the compassionate, expert care that our therapists offer, these same people emerged from our facility sober, content, and well-equipped to live a productive and alcohol-free life. 

If nothing else, we’d like you to take the following three indisputable truths away from this reading:

  • Alcoholism is a potentially fatal disease that affects the entire family
  • The problem drinker needs professional help if they’re to overcome their alcohol dependence
  • This professional help is easy to find here at the Blanchard Institute. 

In the following sections, you’ll learn a great deal of valuable information about the disease of addiction, but the three truths we mentioned above are what you need to remember. They’re important because they simultaneously acknowledge the deadly nature of alcohol abuse and give hope to those who are suffering. 

Please contact us online today if you or someone you care about is struggling with their drinking and requires alcohol rehab.

Things to Look for in an Alcohol Rehab Facility:

Detoxification Under Medical Supervision

The first few days following your choice to seek treatment for your alcoholism are essential. When you stop drinking, your body is likely to exhibit withdrawal symptoms. These could include life-threatening symptoms and a high likelihood of recurrence. A Medical Detox (or Medically Supervised Detox) can assist in managing withdrawal symptoms. This allows you to spend this vital period with peace of mind and minimum suffering.

Learn More About Addiction and Mental Health

Substance and alcohol abuse are intimately related to our mental health – and vice versa. When seeking alcohol treatment, it is critical that you do so at a facility that offers help with your mental health. Your healthcare professional will be able to detect and address underlying psychological and emotional issues. Our treatment plans include sessions with our trained professionals, who have assisted many patients through the process of recovery. 

Coping Techniques

Your detox and recovery will only last a few months. However, your determination to battle urges, on the other hand, must last for years. Professional therapy also provides you with the tools and skills you’ll need in the coming months to combat cravings, boost your chances of recovery, and make the transition to sober living much easier.

Finding Community and Peer Support

The existing supportive community can be immensely beneficial when attempting to overcome cravings or recover from an addiction. You will learn to value the experience of others as you embark on your alcohol treatment path, and you will be exposed to a network of successful people who will be there to assist you throughout the next steps.

Alcohol Rehab FAQ’s

Alcoholism is a sneaky disease. It can begin as little more than a harmless habit– like drinking with friends in an appropriate context. But while drinking remains little more than a social activity for most people, it can develop into a destructive disease very quickly for many others. There is a difference between social and problem drinking, however, and here are some of the signs that someone may be dependent on alcohol: 

  • They drink more than a few times a week
  • The person begins to have intense cravings for alcohol between uses
  • Withdrawal symptoms like trembling or excessive nervousness occur without alcohol
  • They consume more than a few drinks during almost every sitting
  • Anyone who drinks daily or needs alcohol to start their day very likely has a problem
  • Dishonesty about their drinking is definitely a sign that someone might be dependent on alcohol
  • When friends or family have expressed concerns over the person’s drinking
  • People who drive or go to work under the influence of alcohol might be dependent
  • If they’ve lost a job or suffered financial difficulties because of their drinking
  • They’ve experienced legal problems as a result of their drinking
  • If someone’s drinking has caused a strain on their interpersonal relationships, there’s a good chance they need professional help

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to alcoholism. For this reason, alcohol rehab can last for varying lengths of time depending on the type of program and your individual needs. In general, alcohol rehab programs last between 28 and 90 days. To explain, the three most common lengths of rehab programs are:

  • 30-day programs
  • 60-day programs
  • 90-day programs

However, many people will choose to participate in extended programs that include residential treatment, outpatient treatment, and aftercare programs like sober living.

After completing detoxification and alcohol rehab, the individual in recovery will return to normal life. This includes work, family, friends, and hobbies. All these circles and events can trigger cravings and temptations. Research suggests most relapses occur in the first 6 months after treatment.
