When a person is struggling with alcoholism, a helping addiction program can be the difference between living and dying. A person can get so chemically dependent on alcohol; the body can irreversibly suffer without it.
Alcoholism and alcohol rehab at Cirque Lodge can be a means to an end when it comes to alcohol addiction.
Our personalized alcoholism treatment program is made up of unique and effective elements that greatly enhance the recovery process. For more information on the Cirque Lodge drug and
alcohol rehab facility, call 1-877-99-REHAB.
The Seriousness of Alcoholism
Alcoholism is chemical dependency in its most serious form. Alcoholism is developed by abusing alcohol over an extended period of time. The central nervous system has built up tolerances to drinking regular amounts, and requires more and more alcohol to feel the same desired feelings. Over this time, the body gets used to the feelings of alcohol. The brain develops a dependency to having alcohol in the system. Because of this, the body and brain begin to suffer when there is a lack of alcohol in the system.
Withdrawal symptoms when it comes to alcohol can be quite severe. In fact, some withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening. To keep withdrawal from happening, the alcoholic will continue to drink, and only magnify the problem. Chemical dependency at the magnitude of alcoholism should only be professionally treated. Professional detox and alcohol rehab can become the only resolution when it comes to the life of the alcoholic individual.
Detox in an Alcoholism Treatment Facility
The detoxification process is vital when it comes to alcoholism. Detox is ridding the body of chemical toxins, and stabilizing the individual by treating withdrawal. Withdrawal for alcoholism can begin with minor bouts of sickness, but can escalate into seizures, delirium tremens, and critical levels of high blood pressure. Withdrawal from alcoholism can be fatal, and medical detoxification can be a life saving measure.
At Cirque Lodge, we strive to provide the highest levels of care from our
alcoholism treatment facility. We do not offer detoxification as a part of our recovery program. We are partnered with the University of Utah's Neuropsychiatric Institute (UNI) for detoxification. UNI has been providing medical detox for alcoholism for a number of decades. A professional and medical approach is needed when treating the seriousness of alcoholism withdrawal.
Cirque Lodge Alcoholism Treatment Program
When detox is completed, one should be immediately enrolled into and alcohol rehab type of program. The Cirque Lodge alcoholism treatment program is based on a personalized treatment plan for each individual. A client suffering from alcoholism is thoroughly assessed when they are admitted to alcohol rehab. The results of this assessment are developed into a treatment plan by our clinical staff. Each client is assigned an addiction counselor to work with during their time in our
alcoholism program.
Treatment is founded on the 12-step program. Residents in treatment for alcoholism will benefit from having involvement in AA based programs, as a part of the recovery process.
In addition to a 12-step foundation, Cirque Lodge is also geared towards personal group based therapies. Cirque Lodge also is home to a highly effective family program. Residents of
alcoholism rehab are encouraged to invite family members and loved ones to come and be a part of this special program.
The effective balance of experiential therapy is an integral part to the
alcoholism treatment program at Cirque Lodge. Experiential therapy is a number of recovery based activities. Due to the location of our alcohol and drug rehab facilities, many of these experiential activities take place in the outdoors mountain environment. These activities are effective on many levels of teaching recovery skills. They also enhance the recovery process by providing vital spiritual experiences and a connection with a power greater than ones own.
