Arizona Alcohol Rehab Program

If you feel that you or a loved one may have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, it is important to be educated on the signs and symptoms to quickly and effectively recognize the issue, as successful treatment of any medical condition first requires a correct diagnosis.

One of the biggest issues with recognizing alcoholism— especially in yourself or a close friend or family member— is the significant negative stigma which is associated with alcoholism, which unfortunately can delay someone’s treatment for an extended time. As we have pointed out, alcohol use disorder is widespread across the country and affects all demographics.

Here Are Common Signs Someone May Have A Drinking Problem:

• Loss of control. This is often the first major sign of alcohol use disorder as the amount that someone drinks can increase quite rapidly, even early in the progression of the disease. This can present itself in the form of binge drinking, in which a person drinks excessive amounts of alcohol, even if it is only occasionally. It can also come in the form of daily drinking, even if it is only a little bit every day.
• Craving alcohol. Another early sign of alcoholism is craving it at often inappropriate times. While it may not be abnormal for someone to want to have a beer with dinner or at a party, craving alcohol in the mornings or while working are warning signs that someone may be developing—or already have—an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
• Placing alcohol over other responsibilities. As the disease of alcoholism progresses, drinking will become more important to the individual and many times it becomes more important than work, family, and friends.
• Blacking out. Blacking out due to excessive drinking is not particularly common for those who have normal relationships with alcohol. Drinking to such excess that it causes you to black out and forget time is a very strong warning sign that the drinking has gotten out of control.
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms. When someone is such a heavy drinker that they are unable to physically function without it due to withdrawal symptoms like shakiness and nausea, alcohol use should be evaluated.
• Severe health issues. Significant health issues may have already started to occur but their symptoms are not present until permanent physical damage has been made internally. This can be devastating, permanent, and oftentimes fatal. Things like liver failure can be common in those who drink heavily for many years, which is why catching earlier symptoms is so crucial to avoid these serious health problems.

These symptoms are some of the most common, however, they are not the only potential signs. Many alcoholics will not display all of these symptoms, but even one of them is a strong indicator that a drinking problem may be present and treatment at a specialized alcohol rehab is necessary. 

What is important to consider is that many individuals and families tend to brush drinking problems under the rug, blaming them for stress or depression. While these are two very common causes for someone to begin drinking, they are no excuse to leave a drinking problem untreated.

Unfortunately, once the disease has progressed to a certain point, even removing stress or depression may not be able to stop someone’s drinking.

What Is Rehab & Detox?

Just like choosing a home or a college, before you make a life decision you probably put a lot of time and thought into researching details before you feel comfortable with your decision.

When the decision involves life in the balance due to alcohol use disorder, finding the right treatment center is of heightened importance.

Pinnacle Peak Recovery is transparent in this process to make sure you find a quality and reputable program which is right for you or your loved one. Alcoholism and drinking problems can be a significant problem for some people, causing a real and negative impact on their quality of life. The good news is that there is help available to recover and get your life back.

Pinnacle Peak Recovery offers several individualized treatment programs, using multiple forms of therapy that blend the traditional and cutting-edge treatment models to make sure that the best possible care is provided. 

We have found that these individualized programs have allowed our clients not only to enjoy their treatment more but place them in a better position to succeed in the long run.

One of our valued therapists described people as either being very quiet or very talkative during their assessments for a variety of reasons.

“Most people are somewhat scared and have lowered self-esteem. They might be a little loud because their adrenaline is pumping from the new environment or nearly mute because they don’t know who they’re about to meet.

We want them to know they’re going to see friendly faces and people who look like them. We have a lot of diversity, all different races, and ages. If you make a mistake, you’re not going to be judged or punished. That’s not why you came here.”

She adds this important thought:

How Long Does Inpatient Rehab Last?

Time in drug rehabilitation treatment often depends on you. Are you engaged in treatment? Have you and your loved ones worked with the family therapist? Are you reaching your treatment goals? Do you truly seem motivated to change? These factors all contribute to your length of stay.

Some inpatient programs last a few weeks. For other people, more extensive treatment is necessary. Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your drug history, support network, and progress through treatment play an important role in the length of your treatment.

Of course, this time is an investment in your future. It’s a relatively short time in your life when you can finally face your challenges and get the support you may never have had a chance to experience. Embrace it.

Pinnacle Peak Recovery is here for you as you or your loved one pursue inpatient treatment for a new way of life.   Call us today at 833-750-1742 and let us welcome you through our healing door.

Detox Recovery in Scottsdale

Alcohol use disorder often leads to physical dependence which can create withdrawal symptoms for someone who tries to stop drinking on their own. Some of these symptoms, like seizures and delirium tremens, can be serious and potentially life-threatening.  

Many people who enter rehab require a medical alcohol detox to safely stop drinking. Patients are under close medical supervision and are usually treated with a combination of medications to keep them safe and comfortable. This process typically lasts between five and 10 days. Once they are medically stable, it is strongly suggested that they continue their treatment with an inpatient or outpatient alcohol rehab program as recommended by their intake counselor.

Inpatient Alcohol Rehab Centers

Inpatient rehab for alcohol use disorder is typically the most effective form of treatment. Inpatient treatment involves the patient living at a fully-staffed facility that offers a wide range of daily treatment including one-on-one therapy and group therapy with licensed professionals. 

A structured daily schedule combined with an intensive treatment regimen is what makes inpatient rehab the most effective form of treatment for most people. This form of treatment is so effective because it allows an individual to step away from the life circumstances that were contributing to their drinking and learn effective coping mechanisms and tools before returning to their everyday life. Upon completing an inpatient alcohol rehab program, it is typically recommended that the patient transition to an outpatient program.

Outpatient Alcoholism Treatment Center

Outpatient alcohol rehab is a treatment that is done in an office setting during specified days and times while the patient lives either at home or in a sober living environment. While most outpatient programs in the Phoenix, Arizona area offer a combination of individual and group therapy, they offer much less structure than inpatient programs. 

Outpatient programs are most effective for those who have just completed an inpatient program or have life circumstances such as children or a job that prevent them from entering inpatient treatment. These programs are run by licensed professionals three evenings weekly.
