For many individuals, alcohol has become a controlling force in their lives.  Even more difficult is the ordeal that they are faced when entering an alcohol detox program in order to heal and lead healthier, more productive lives without the use of alcohol.  The first major step in the process is admitting that they have an alcoholism problem, but seeking help and entering a program, such as our California Alcohol Detox treatment and recovery facility, is the next major step.

California Alcohol Detox is a program that enables the addicted person to rid themselves of the addictive substance and is conducted in a homelike setting rather than a facility which appears to be a clinic or a hospital.  It provides the individual with a calming effect as well as making the difficult tasks of treatment and recovery much easier to handle.  We are well aware as to how seriously alcohol damages a person – emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Not only does the California Alcohol Detox program take place in a non-clinical appearing facility, we have a licensed and certified physician and/or psychologist on our staff to supervise the treatment and recovery process as well.  In this way, the client is ensured of receiving the individual attention that they so desperately need in order to effectively recover from their addiction and the damage that it has caused over the years.

We are well aware of how unpleasant treatment and recovery can be for the addicted client.  It is not uncommon for a client to succumb to blackouts, hallucinations, nausea, shaking, sweating, twitching, vomiting, and other unpleasant experiences while they are healing from those years of alcohol abuse.  These experiences reveal just how deeply the damage runs emotionally, mentally, and physically as well as how dependent the client’s body has become on the ingestion of alcohol to in order to manage their lives.

Most people who have never experienced alcohol addiction or the treatment and recovery process make the false assumption that the withdrawal experience and its symptoms would be enough of a deterrent so they would not relapse once they have recovered.  However, the harsh reality is that alcohol addiction, or drug addiction for that matter, is an obsession of one’s mind.

Additionally, the client that is suffering with this addiction, especially when they are undergoing the treatment and recovery phases, does not possess the ability to make rational decisions.  Realistically, there is only one conscious decision that the addicted client can make and that is further self-medication with a more powerful drug.  They need something to remove the pain they are suffering from and there is nothing that they can find that is more important than the relief that more powerful substance brings.
