Your needs are monitored 24 hours a day and your progress is monitored by a professional, skilled physician as well as our experienced and caring staff.

If you are looking for information regarding alcohol detox and withdrawal for yourself, know that you are not alone. In fact,over 10 Million Americans meet the criteria for alcohol use disorders. And among active drinkers, more than 40% say they have a parent, sibling or other blood relative who either is presently, or once was, a problem drinker. Many people hide therir drinking or deny it altogether. The simple fact that you are looking for answers is a very big deal. If you have come seeking help for someone else; a brother or sister, a parent, child or best-friend, keep in mind that providing information and resources to another person is helpful. Taking action for them can be harmful. Successful detox and treatment for alcohol abuse usually requires that the person needing help made a personal choice, and committment, to get that help.

How can you tell if you or someone you know needs help with alcohol abuse? There are actually many sighns. They include having friends or relatives express concern, getting agitated or defensive if someone comments about your drinking, guilty feelings regarding your drinking and knowing that you should at least cut back, but discover that you can't. Some people that abuse alcohol or have become alcohol dependent work very hard to resolve these issues. And with the support of family and friends, they are able to recover on their own. But a person who has become dependent on alcohol generally will find themselves unable to stop on their own. Many of them should not even attempt to stop without a doctors supervision and medically supervised detoxification in order to prevent withdrawal symptoms such as seizures that can be life-threatening. Once stable, help with resolving underlying issues is often necessary. We offer programs for alcohol detox as well as alcohol treatment- at an affordable cost designed especially for those with little or no insurance.
