What Is Alcohol Detox?

Alcohol detox is a medically supervised process that safely manages the physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal when someone stops drinking. 

For those who have developed alcohol dependence, attempting to quit without medical supervision can be dangerous or even life-threatening. At Arbor Wellness, our alcohol detox program provides comprehensive care to ensure your safety and comfort throughout this crucial first step of recovery.

During alcohol detox, your body begins to adjust to functioning without alcohol, which can trigger various withdrawal symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to severe complications. 

Our experienced medical team monitors you 24/7, providing appropriate medications and support to manage symptoms such as anxiety, tremors, nausea, and insomnia. We carefully assess each client’s specific needs, considering factors like drinking history, overall health, and dual diagnosis disorders to create an individualized detox protocol.

How Does Alcohol Detox in Nashville Work?

At Arbor Wellness, our alcohol detox in Nashville begins with a thorough assessment of each person so the treatment team understands the severity of their addiction and how to help them through the vital first days of sobriety.

Detox can take anywhere from five to ten days or longer, depending on how much alcohol the person typically consumes and their current state of physical and mental health. 

As well, which withdrawal symptoms they experience can impact their length of stay in detox. Our detox program provides several options for medications and psychological support to help ease withdrawal symptoms and avoid unnecessary spain. During the detox stay, plans for which type of treatment to move to next will be made.

Alcohol Use Disorder and Dual Diagnosis

For many people, alcoholism ends up co-existing with mental health disorders. In fact, the condition is so common that it’s called a dual diagnosis. 

For example, a study showed that people with alcohol use disorder are 3.7 times more likely to have depression than those without an AUD. When someone experiences both alcohol addiction and depression, it can increase the severity of both disorders.

Fortunately, many addiction treatment facilities offer treatment for dual diagnosis. Our alcohol detox in Nashville can be followed up with treatment that continues the lessons of sobriety along with treatment for several types of mental illnesses.
