Alcoholism is an overlooked health problem that actively impacts all aspects of a person’s life. The long-term use of alcohol compromises physical health, mental health, career, and personal relationships. Long-term alcohol abuse can cause severe health problems like cardiovascular issues, cancer, and neurological problems.

Fortunately, Briarwood Detox Center can help anyone suffering from alcohol abuse to overcome the problem safely in a supervised environment. When a person joins the detox center, he or she goes through the detoxification process in which toxins are removed from the body. For detoxification, a person requires medical assistance from expert medical professionals. Once the person completes the detoxification process, he or she can continue with the Rehab treatment.

Address the physical and mental health problems

The alcohol and drug rehab treatment program can help an individual to address their physical and mental health issues under medical supervision. When a person quits drugs or alcohol, withdrawal symptoms occur which are difficult to handle on your own. Dealing with withdrawal symptoms without medical supervision can cause other underlying medical problems as you may put your body in shock after quitting the drugs or alcohol. Therefore, it is important to complete the detoxification process in a medically supervised environment. The professionals will help to address the physical and mental health issues and make sure that you overcome the addiction safely. Rehab provides psychological support to stabilize mental health during the recovery process. You may find the first few days of recovery quite stressful, but after that, everything will start falling into place.

Live a happy and healthy sober life

When a person is addicted to alcohol or drugs, the brain, and body become dependent on them. But, the Rehab treatment program can help to end this dependency and enable the person to live a sober and healthy life. During the treatment, a person gets to learn many tools and techniques that can help them to stay sober for a lifetime. After completing the treatment, a person can move to a sober living facility where they can learn how to make a successful transition back to normal life without falling into the trap again. Most people addicted to drugs compromise their families, relationships, homes, and money. Rehab can help to rebuild life and reconnect with loved ones again.

Seek Professional Help to Manage Cravings

Alcohol and drug cravings and triggers are inevitable, but with the right treatment plan and support network, they don’t have to stand in the way of your recovery. A medically-assisted alcohol detox program can help you manage alcohol cravings with medications and counseling while you detox.

At Briarwood Detox Center our licensed treatment professionals are trained to recognize and treat the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. They provide 24/7 support and administer medication as needed to ensure your comfort and success in detox.

Our counselors and recovery specialists also offer emotional support as you experience the difficult emotions and cravings that come along with the alcohol withdrawal process. Research has shown that immediately after detoxing, a person is at high risk for relapse. [2] To address this risk, we will help you manage the discomfort and prepare you for additional treatment in a residential rehab or intensive outpatient rehab so that you can continue with your recovery in a supportive space. Once you’ve completed an alcohol detox program, our staff will provide referrals to rehab programs that will give you the best chance at achieving sustained, long-term sobriety.
