Alcohol Addiction and Alcohol Treatment

It can be difficult to get someone struggling with alcoholism into an alcohol treatment facility. A lot of this has to do with the stigma built up about alcohol abuse by society. This stigma makes them feel that they do not have a problem and that they can quit if they need to. Many times it is up to loved ones to get them the help that they need.

Alcohol addiction can lead to dependency which becomes an all consuming factor of the individual. Families, employment, and basic living environment are all strained by alcoholism. When the body has developed a dependency to alcohol it isn't recommended to stop "cold turkey." Withdrawal effects from alcoholism can be life threatening. In the case of stopping alcoholism proper alcohol treatment is needed to effectively treat the problem and not lose the individual to withdrawal problems.

Detox Program in Treatment

Detox for Alcohol
Detoxification is often times recommended at the beginning of alcohol rehab. Detox depends on the severity of the addiction and the increased severity of withdrawal. Detox supplies 24-hour monitoring and care for any of the withdrawal symptoms caused by the alcohol addiction. At Cirque Lodge, detoxification is taken care of at an off campus facility a short drive from Cirque Lodge at the University of Utah. This detox center is a medical facility fully staffed with medical professionals to effectively treat the difficulty of withdrawal.

Withdrawal Symptoms can vary but can include:

• Nausea
• Seizures
• Rapid heart rate, heart complications
• Tremors
• Delirium (The DT's)

Medical Detox provides alcohol treatment and stabilization in different ways as well:

• Helps to manage acute withdrawal symptoms
• Prescribes medications that lessen the impact of withdrawal and suppresses craving
• Ensures the individual is stabilized physically and able to undertake alcohol treatment programming
