Alcohol detoxification marks the first step in your recovery. This initial stage involves stopping alcohol use while also safely managing withdrawal symptoms. In turn, this lays the foundations for your addiction treatment.

However, safe detoxification from alcohol requires 24-7 medical supervision. A healthcare professional can help you effectively manage alcohol withdrawal symptoms—such as severe dehydration, seizures, and hallucinations—ensuring your health and safety every step of the way. In some cases, alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening, indicating the vital importance of proper care.

Alcohol Detox: What It Is and Why It’s Important

An alcohol detox program involves eliminating alcohol from the body after prolonged and heavy use while also safely managing physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms. This crucial first step addresses your body’s physical dependency on alcohol. This is necessary to pave the way for proper therapy and other treatments contributing to long-term and lasting recovery.

While withdrawal symptoms can vary depending on various factors—such as a person’s health and drinking history—common ones include:

  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Excessive sweating
  • Digestive discomforts
  • Increased blood pressure
  • Heart palpations
  • Tremors/shaking
  • Hyperthermia
  • Hallucinations
  • Confusion
  • Seizures
  • Delirium

Medical supervision is necessary to manage the above, ensuring your safety and comfort. At United Recovery Project, we strive to provide a caring and compassionate environment to help you overcome alcohol addiction. We provide round-the-clock care, putting patient health and safety first. With our medically supervised alcohol detox program, you’re taking a courageous first step toward recovery and a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Benefits of Professional Alcohol Detox

There are many advantages of enrolling in a professional detox program, such as that offered by United Recovery Project. While this can be a physically and emotionally challenging time, professional supervision ensures you get the care you deserve and need. Additionally, rehab professionals can provide support and resources appropriate for you and your specific circumstances. Further benefits of a professional and medically-supervised alcohol detox program include:

Safety

When you stop drinking after heavy alcohol use, your body can react in dangerous ways. You might face serious issues like seizures, your body becoming severely dehydrated, or something called delirium tremens (DTs). These symptoms aren’t mere discomforts; in many cases, if not monitored and addressed, they can be life-threatening.

At United Recovery Project, you’re never alone—we have medical staff watching over you around the clock. Our team has helped countless people through this process, keeping each individual safe and addressing any concerns or symptoms if they arise. In turn, this can reduce various medical complications—and potentially, save your life.

Comfort

Getting through withdrawal isn’t easy—you might feel sick to your stomach, notice your hands shaking, find yourself constantly worrying, or lie awake at night unable to sleep. Dealing with all of this on your own can feel like too much to handle. However, working with a reliable and trusted rehab provider, like United Recovery Project, can help you navigate this and minimize associated symptoms.

Throughout your detox program, we use medications and therapies appropriate for you and your situation to address any withdrawal symptoms. This offers you as much comfort as possible during this undeniably difficult time.

Laying the Foundation for Recovery

When you’re in a professional program, it’s not all about withdrawal. These programs also focus on helping you rebuild yourself from the ground up. At United Recovery Project, we make sure you’re connected with the right programs and counseling for what comes next. Ultimately, we want to make sure you’re set up for success every step of the way.

With the right support and guidance, you can absolutely create a healthier, happier future for yourself. At United Recovery Project, we’re here to help you make that happen, one step at a time. Our caring and supportive environment is designed for optimal outcomes, including paving your way toward making a full recovery. Take that first step today by calling 888-960-5121.

Alcohol Detox Timeline

The first week of detox follows the same, general timeline. However, everyone’s experience is different and medications or therapies may vary. With that in mind, here’s what you can typically expect during alcohol detox at United Recovery Project:

Days 1-2

Most people start feeling withdrawal symptoms six to 24 hours after their last drink. You might get headaches, feel sick to your stomach, start sweating, or have trouble sleeping. If you’ve been drinking heavily for a long time, you could experience more serious symptoms like tremors or seizures. And this is why our medical team stays with you 24/7; we’re here to keep you safe and help manage any discomforts that arise.

Days 3-7

This is usually the toughest part. Withdrawal symptoms often peak between days three and five. You might feel more anxious, irritable, or notice your heart racing. Some people experience hallucinations or develop a serious condition called delirium tremens (DTs). Our team watches you closely during this time, using medications when needed and offering different therapies to help you get through it. By the end of the week, these symptoms usually start to decrease.

Day 8 and Beyond

Your body starts to stabilize, and you’ll likely feel physically better. This is when you can start focusing on the next phase of recovery. We’ll help you figure out your next steps, whether that’s staying in treatment, joining outpatient therapy, or starting another recovery program that makes sense for you.

At United Recovery Project, we adjust your detox plan based on what you need. Our team is here to make sure you feel safe and supported as you take this important first step. After your detox progam, you may choose to continue with our team, such as with our many alcohol addiction treatment programs.
