Alcohol Detox
Alcohol detox starts the process of helping the patient through alcohol withdrawal by administering certain medications to manage their withdrawal symptoms in safe and medically monitored environment. It's important to understand that abruptly stopping alcohol use can be severely detrimental to those who are addicted. It is critical that professional alcohol detox services be incorporated for a safe and effective detoxification.
Christian Alcohol Detox
Lakeview Health Systems, partnering with New Life Ministries, has designed a state-of-the-art Christian alcohol detox and rehabilitation program. This innovative and spiritually-motivating program is offered at A New Life Recovery Center. A New Life offers patients Lakeview's nationally recognized treatment strategies along with a host of faith-based services, including:
- Pastoral counseling
- Church services
- Bible study
- Prayer
- Christian readings
The Alcohol Detoxification Process
At A New Life, treatment is designed on an individual level, a technique that has been proven effective at Lakeview Health Systems for many years. Every person's alcohol detoxification protocol is different and treatment is based upon a number of factors. Some of the factors that affect the design of one's personalized alcohol detox can include:
- Amount of alcohol consumed
- Frequency of drinking
- Abuse of any other drugs
- Medical or psychiatric issues
- Use of current medications
As an individual progresses through alcohol detoxification, the medication protocol is adjusted based upon the present withdrawal symptoms. The alcohol detox program at Lakeview is located on campus, thus allowing for a direct transfer from detox to our Christian alcohol rehab. These two services are completely different as alcohol detox facilitates medical stabilization while alcohol rehab is focused on learning new behaviors and teaching the patient how to avoid relapse.
Christian Alcohol Detox and Continuing Care
One thing we know about alcohol detox is that it is only the first step in treatment. It is here that medical stabilization occurs and the patient begins to improve nutritionally and emotionally. Throughout the process, our medical and clinical team will assess the patient for their need for continuing care.
Continuing care can mean anything from rehabilitation services, admission to a halfway house to attendance in outpatient therapy. Alcohol detox in and of itself can be misleading as the patient begins to feel better when detoxification is complete, leading them to believe that all is well; this could not be further from the truth. Most people completing alcohol detox who refuse to follow continuing care plans generally end up experiencing relapse.
