Why Alcohol Detox is Necessary

Without withdrawing completely for alcohol, residue of the substance can remain in the body allowing cravings to continue, hindering the recovery process. Alcohol withdrawal can be extremely dangerous, especially with heavy alcohol addiction and should only be attempted under the supervision of a licensed medical center. Withdrawal from alcohol can include, when not properly supervised, long lasting psychological effects and even death. Each alcohol withdrawal program at The Canyon is designed in accordance with each individual's own unique needs and assessment.

Avoid Medical Complications During Alcohol Detox

Symptoms of alcohol withdrawal vary with each level of abuse. For those with a heavy addiction to alcohol the following symptoms may be experienced: nausea, vomiting, heavy sweating, hand tremors, clammy skin, insomnia, convulsions, agitation, fever and even black outs or grand mal seizures. This is why it is so important that detoxification take place under the supervision of a licensed facility equipped to handle the stages of withdrawal.

Once the physical withdrawal symptoms have subsided and the physical residual effects of alcohol are no longer present, the patient can begin the second phase of treatment.

When You Need Alcohol Detox

Alcohol abuse can lead down a path of significantly destructive patterns in everyday life, work and social situations. Impaired judgment can not only endanger relationships but harm physically as well. Signs of alcoholism to look for are:

1. Alcohol tolerance. If the same amount of alcohol has a diminished effect or you find yourself needing more alcohol to achieve the desired results.

2. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms. From several hours to a few days after reducing alcoholic intake after prolonged or heavy use the following may occur:

  • Anxiety
  • Hand tremors
  • Nausea
  • Insomnia
  • Rapid pulse
  • Increased sweating
  • Hallucinations (visual, auditory or tactile)
  • Seizure activity

3. Alcohol is consumed in order to cover or avoid withdrawal.

4. You find yourself drinking more alcohol in a shorter period of time or notice a prolonged use of it.

5. An unsuccessful desire to cut down on alcoholic consumption.

6. Hangovers that require more time to recuperate from.

7. Pulling back from various social functions in order to hide alcohol abuse or indulge in it without anyone else "discovering" you.

8. Continuing to consume alcohol even though it aggravates health issues such as an ulcer or depression.
