Alcoholism can destroy your life & liver.
ALCOHOL DETOX CENTERS IN LOS ANGELES
In the midst of America’s opioid epidemic, rates of alcoholism have been climbing at an alarming speed. Doctors are reporting cirrhosis of the liver in high rates among younger people. Don’t get caught in the chaos of alcoholism anymore. Quit drinking and find long-term sobriety at Grace Recovery’s alcohol detox program in Los Angeles.
ALCOHOL DETOX IS NEEDED
No matter which drugs cause addiction, the first step toward recovery is detox. In fact, many rehab centers won’t even take people before they go through detox. The best scenario is to find a rehab center like Grace Recovery that offers both detox and rehab services in the same location. With that said, there’s still a lot that people need to know before they find the perfect alcohol detox program.
Typical drugs we detox are:
WHAT HAPPENS DURING ALCOHOL WITHDRAWALS
Detox alone isn’t a treatment program. Instead, it’s just the first step that people take toward recovery. In fact, once people stop drinking, their bodies start to naturally detox. Unfortunately, they also experience withdrawal symptoms during this process.
The withdrawal is typically painful or uncomfortable. In fact, sometimes the symptoms are so severe that people start drinking again just to get them to stop. That’s why it’s so important to find professional help when people choose to stop drinking.
TYPICAL SIGNS OF ALCOHOL WITHDRAWALS
The symptoms that people experience vary depending on the types of drugs that they take. They also vary depending on how long people have used the drugs.
While alcohol is one of the easiest drugs for people to obtain, it also has some of the worst withdrawal effects. In fact, alcohol is one of the only drugs for which withdrawal could actually lead to death. However, the most common side effects include:
Depression
Anxiety
Sleeping problems
Changes in blood pressure and heartbeat
Hallucinations
Delirium tremens (DTs)
DTs is a potentially life-threatening condition. People who suffer from DTs stay in an ongoing state of confusion. This condition can also cause sharp increases in body temperature and severe seizures.

ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL TIMELINE: WHAT TO EXPECT
Like other drugs, alcohol withdrawal happens on a timeline. With that said, everyone’s timeline varies slightly depending on their gender, genetics, and history with alcohol. In most cases, people start to experience withdrawal within six to 48 hours after their last drink. During this time, they crave alcohol but don’t encounter too many physical symptoms.
They start to experience more extreme symptoms over the next five to seven days. This point is when alcohol withdrawal is the most dangerous. It’s important for people to enroll in an alcohol detox program before this point to reduce their risk for relapse.
After the first week, they continue to experience mild alcohol withdrawal symptoms. In some cases, the effects linger for upwards of two years. However, enrolling in a rehab program can help people learn to control these symptoms and avoid relapse.
DO I NEED DETOX FOR ALCOHOLISM?
In general, anyone with an addiction to alcohol needs an alcohol detox program. Some people try to cut it “cold turkey,” which means that they stop drinking through sheer willpower. However, experts never recommend this method. Once again, alcohol withdrawal is sometimes life-threatening, and professional help keeps people safe.
Since alcohol detox manifests fairly quickly, it’s a good idea for people to enroll in a detox program quickly. The goal is to get into a program within 24 hours of their last drink. Those who can do this are much more likely to achieve and maintain abstinence.
