Alcohol Withdrawal

Alcohol withdrawal occurs with the discontinuation of alcohol after a dependency has developed. It can be a very painful and a potentially life-threatening occurrence.

Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms

Alcohol withdrawal symptoms include:

• Sweats
• Tremors
• Nausea
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Confusion
• Loss of concentration

Managing Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms

At our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center at Lakeview Health, alcohol withdrawal symptoms are managed in a medically monitored alcohol detox facility. Our medically supervised alcohol detox programs can reduce and possibly eliminate any of the withdrawal symptoms associated with the detoxification process.

Our physicians are board certified in their medical specialty and have been certified by A.S.A.M. (Addiction Society of Addiction Medicine) to specialize in addiction medicine. Our clinical staff is licensed and trained in drug and alcohol addiction treatment as well as in the treatment of mental health problems.

Alcohol Withdrawal with Subsequent Alcohol Rehab

In order to maintain the gains made while in detox, patients are encouraged to continue on with our residential alcohol treatment program. Research has shown that those who do not follow up with rehab, tend to relapse since recovering from alcoholism is an extremely challenging endeavor – but we have had great success with our programs.

Our comprehensive personalized alcohol rehab treatment plans are designed to address each patient's individual addiction issues. They also include medical management and ongoing psychiatric assistance for dual diagnosis treatment. As with any quality dual diagnosis program, both the drug or alcohol abuse and the mental illness are treated concurrently, after the patient is stabilized through detox.
