When you are ready to take the power back from your alcohol addiction, call the team at Turning Point Treatment Center and get started.
Symptoms of Alcohol Withdrawal
Alcohol withdrawal can start within 24 hours of your last drink. Symptoms can range from mild to serious and potentially life-threatening because of the unpredictable nature of withdrawal symptom onset and the risk to life.
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms may include:
- Anxiety
- Appetite loss or changes in appetite
- Depression
- Difficulty sleeping
- Hand tremors
- Headaches
- Increased heart rate
- Irritability
- Nausea
- Restlessness
- Sweating
- Vomiting
The serious symptoms that some may experience include seizures, hallucinations, and Delirium Tremens (DTs).
To avoid high-risk withdrawal symptoms, and manage the common non-life threatening symptoms, it is best to detox under medical supervision and give yourself the safest chance at moving successfully into rehab.
Treatment for Alcohol Abuse and Addiction
Because of the extensive effects of alcohol addiction on the body, many patients need medically assisted treatment during detox and rehab. We offer MAT as part of our alcohol rehab program so that our clients can progress through therapy with a clear mind and fewer, less intense withdrawal symptoms.
With customized treatment at Turning Point Treatment Center, you have a chance at recovery that lasts. Our team of alcohol addiction professionals can help you determine the cause of your addiction with options for dual-diagnosis treatment so you can fight addiction while treating underlying issues.
At our Mission Viejo alcohol rehab center, treatment typically includes:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- 12-step work
- Re-entry classes
- MAT (Medically Assisted Treatment)
- Dual-diagnosis treatment (as needed)
- Aftercare
