Alcohol Detox & Alcohol Rehab

What Is Alcohol Detox?

When alcohol is present in your body, liver cells are forced to first metabolize the alcohol, which causes fatty acids to accumulate in your liver. Alcohol metabolism permanently changes the cell structure in your liver, impairing its ability to metabolize fats. When excessive amounts of alcohol enter your body, the enzymes in your liver can’t handle all of the alcohol and excess alcohol travels to other parts of your body. Chronic alcohol abuse not only depletes the necessary nutrients your body needs, but also interferes with the the natural metabolic process of nutrients by your body, leading to damage of the liver, digestive system, and nearly every bodily organ. Chronic alcohol abuse, or alcoholism, is correlated not only with liver disease and pancreatitis, but also cardiovascular disease, cancer, and damage to the nervous system.

From this perspective, alcohol detox is a preventative measure. Alcoholism has already consumed a large part of your life that alcohol treatment is necessary. Alcohol detox rids your body of poisonous and harmful alcohol toxins that have rendered your body as physically dependent.

Is Alcohol Detox Safe?

Alcohol detox is the first step in alcoholism treatment. Detox is an extremely important step prior to alcohol treatment that rinses the body from alcohol toxins. The detox period for alcoholics can be an extremely challenging period as physical withdrawal symptoms can occur. We know that alcoholism is a physically addicting disease, therefore, a person may suffer from tremors, severe anxiety, convulsions, or hallucinations. These withdrawal symptoms are common, but they are also serious. Therefore, when an individual undergoes alcohol detox, they are highly recommended to undergo a medically supervised detox with the highest safety and security from medical professionals that monitor your progress. These professionals are adept in detox and addiction treatment. If an individual tries a self-induced “cold turkey” approach to alcohol detox, they may find themselves likely to relapse and are putting themselves in danger of the negative side effects without proper supervision.

Alcohol detox under medical supervision is the safest way of undergoing detox and beginning alcohol treatment with the highest chances of success.

The Need for Alcohol Rehab after Alcohol Detox

An alcohol rehab program following alcohol detox is highly recommended for an individual seeking sobriety in alcohol treatment. Alcohol detox is the first step, but is only the first step. Alcoholism rehab must continue in order to effectively battle the disease of alcohol addiction. Because of the physically addicting nature of alcoholism, alcohol rehab is the best way for an individual to challenge themselves under professional help for alcohol abuse.

During alcohol rehab, the individual will tackle the physical and psychological addiction to alcohol. Once alcohol detox is complete, intensive counseling is generally the core of alcohol rehabilitation. Counseling in alcohol rehab will address personal and social aspects of alcoholism in both individual counseling and group counseling sessions. The recovering alcoholic will be able to engage with others who share the same struggle in alcohol addiction, but have chosen alcohol rehab and alcohol treatment to quit drinking and seek lasting sobriety. Alcohol rehab also includes 12-Step meetings, relapse prevention, and therapeutic treatment.

Even as an individual progresses through their alcohol rehab and alcohol treatment, a client with The Florida House Experience alcohol rehab program receives aftercare services. The battle with alcoholism is a long, strenuous process where an individual will constantly face the potential for relapse in a society where drinking is commonly accepted.
