Detox Begins Alcohol Treatment
Treatment for alcohol addiction usually begins with a period of detox. The body needs time to recover from the initial shock of no longer drinking. Medical detoxification is a part of alcohol treatment. Cirque Lodge does not offer detox services. We focus specifically on the treatments and therapies of alcohol and drug rehab. We are partnered with a local medical detoxification facility that focuses specifically on that service.
Detox is a two fold process. First is to grant the individual time away from drinking. This gives the body a chance to partially cleanse itself of alcohol and its harmful toxins in the body. The second purpose is to treat the individual medically for withdrawal. The shock of no longer drinking can have a very negative impact on the alcoholic. Withdrawal from alcohol can be quite severe, even life threatening. A medical detox facility can make a difference in life and death from alcohol withdrawal. They use treatments and medications to stabilize the body when withdrawal occurs. It is the first step to alcohol treatment.
The length of stay in detox depends on how long it takes for the body to stabilize. Individuals suffering from alcoholism usually require a longer time within the detox facility. When detox is a completed, a private vehicle from Cirque Lodge will transport the individual to our alcohol and drug rehab facility. Immediate enrollment in an alcohol treatment program is the best measure when detox for alcohol is completed.
