Residential Alcohol Rehab: Definition, Types of Treatment, and More

Written by admin on . Posted in Alcohol Detox.

Have you been curious about residential alcohol rehab but aren’t sure if it’s right for you? Does it seem like there are so many “residential treatment centers” that all tend to blur together? Here in Southern California, there certainly aren’t many residential centers to choose from. At Believe Detox Center, we do everything in our power to stand out from the rest. At our residential detox and rehabilitation, we work on those underlying traumas and causes so that you can get back to the life that you want. 

Residential Alcohol Rehab Defined 

Essentially, our “residential” rehab is just that: a home-like environment. Indeed, from the outside, Believe Detox Center certainly looks like a large, plush home. That said, the residential treatment is a comprehensive, non-hospitalization setup that’s specifically designed to help with addiction. This is true whether you’re addicted to drugs, alcohol, and so forth. Another reason this treatment is called “residential” – you stay here overnight. Through this treatment, you can devote all of your time, energy, and focus to recovery, just as our experts devote all of the time, energy, and focus to you.

Your Residential Stay at Believe: Made to Fit Your Needs 

Often, the question we’re asked most after telling a prospective patient that residential treatment will keep them here overnight is: “how long should I stay?” As you might imagine, that depends. Specifically, it depends on what treatment plan our experts determine is right for you. Many of our patients who’ve found lasting success outside of Believe Detox Center have been best served by Long-Term treatment. That means that you’re here for more than thirty days. Some go up to a year. Short-Term treatment, on the other hand, lasts two to three weeks. On average, our patients see the best results during a 28-day stay.

In-Home Detox: How Does It Work?

Written by admin on . Posted in Alcohol Detox.

Have you been looking to detox but don’t feel like you can leave your job, your family, and your home for a period of time? Does it feel like there’s nothing you can do to stop abusing alcohol and/or toxic substances (or even cut back?) The good news is that there is hope. There is something you can do. Namely, in-home detox. With our help, you’ll be able to successfully detoxify, clearing all of the toxins out of your system so that you can start fresh and anew, from the comfort of your own home. 

How it Starts 

The first step is a thorough, comprehensive evaluation. Our medical professionals will go through your history, all of the medications you’ve taken, your history with drugs and/or alcohol, and so much more. With the information gained from your evaluation, we’ll put together a treatment plan that’s designed entirely for you. Then, we’ll give that information to your in-home detox nurse, so that they can start the detoxification process from inside your home.

In-Home Detox Through to the End 

Even in your home, detoxification may not be easy. Even surrounded by loved ones, by your belongings, in your home and bed, detoxification can be a tremendous challenge. Withdrawal symptoms can be difficult, painful, and even dangerous. That’s where our in-house detox nurse can help. They’ll stay with you, monitoring you throughout the process. That way, they can step in and intervene if necessary, managing your symptoms. While we put together a complete home detox plan, our medical staff has the experience as well as the authority to be able to alter them as needed. By watching over you, monitoring your nutritional intake, sleep, and more, our staff will ensure that your detox is easier than it would be otherwise. 

Benefits of Detoxing at Home 

The obvious benefit is, of course, that you’re at home. You aren’t in a bed you’ve never been before at a detox facility you’ve only ever seen online surrounded by people you’ve just met. Instead, you’re in your bed, surrounded by your loved ones. Additionally, as our medical staff will be at your home, they’ll be able to get a far clearer idea of your environment, of what potentially triggered your substance abuse as well as the support circles that you have in your life. This information can make your ongoing treatment plan much more focused and specific to your needs. 

In-Home Detox in Los Angeles 

Detoxing in your home is, for many, the very first step towards leading a healthy, happy, and sober life. However, it is also just that: the first step. So many of our patients, once they’ve come through detoxification in their home, then move on to continued care. Indeed, with the information our staff gets from your evaluation as well as your detox, we’re able to put together a treatment plan that can put you in charge of your own life, so that you can lead the life that you want, free from those toxic substances that have held you back.

How Does Healing Recovery Help During Drug and Alcohol Detox?

Written by admin on . Posted in Alcohol Detox Programs.

Are you in the process of researching rehab and detox treatment facilities for yourself or someone that you love? Have you read about “healing recovery” and aren’t sure exactly what it means? At first glance, a phrase like that might seem like simple buzzwords, a marketing tactic, something that could be responded to with: “wouldn’t everyone want a recovery that heals?” But, here at Believe Detox Center, it’s so much more than that. We aim to heal the patient’s body and mind, their whole person. 

Healing Recovery with a Focus on Nutrition 

If you’ve been struggling with addiction, it takes a toll on your physical health. Addiction does so in ways that are visible and obvious as well as those that might not necessarily be so readily observed. One insidious way it inflicts harm: nutrition. After all, if you’re in the throes of addiction, odds are low that you’re putting good food and nutrients into your body. That’s why we put such a premium on healthy eating and nutrition here at Believe Detox Center. For one, we have a top-of-the-line, experienced gourmet chef who can put together tremendously nutritional dishes you can make when you leave here, too.

What Nutrition Can Do for You 

For so many battling addictions, it’s the one way to make yourself feel good. There are so many awful, negative side effects, yet at the moment that you abuse a toxic substance, you feel better than you did at the moment before (even if it is, indeed, just for a moment). Learning to eat healthy, to eat right, can do more than just improve your physical health while extending your life (both of which it can absolutely do), it can also help you to find a new way to feel good, to make yourself feel good in a positive, healthy way. 

Healing the Body as Well as the Mind 

Many eat unhealthy foods, those high in sugar, caffeine, white flour, and other substances that over time can harm the body. They affect the same parts of your brain that drugs and alcohol do. They can unbalance your dopamine levels, potentially worsening your cravings for alcohol and drugs. Thus by eating healthier, you can give yourself a better chance to avoid relapse, to be able to lead a healthy and sober life once you leave Believe Detox Center. 

The Healing Can Start Today 

Now, obviously, you aren’t going to be able to abstain from drugs and alcohol by simply eating healthy or anything of that nature. But, every little bit really does help. Improving your physical and mental health can go a long, long way towards putting you more in control of your life, thus reducing your body and mind’s need for drugs and alcohol. Here at Believe Detox Center, healing nutrition is just part of what we offer, beyond detox, therapy, and more in a gorgeous, comforting environment. To start the process or learn more, call us at (818) 308-3118.

How Long Does Alcohol Rehab Usually Take?

Written by admin on . Posted in Alcohol Rehab.

Many people would attest that alcohol, not marijuana, is the real gateway drug. For many, it’s the very first intoxicating substance they take at a young age, and perhaps because of its legal status, is the second most abused substance after tobacco. Those are just some of the reasons alcohol rehab could be a long, grueling journey. 

That then begs a real question: how long does alcohol rehab usually take? Will it be an ongoing process or will you be able to get what you need in a quicker period of time? 

The Four Main Phases of Alcohol Rehab

Alcohol rehab tends to follow four separate phases. They include: 

Phase 1: Assessment

Also referred to as the “intake” or “treatment initiation” phase, the assessment phase involves meeting with a professional to discuss treatment options. Medical examinations, along with a psychological and psychosocial assessment, are also part of this phase. 

This initial phase helps to build a foundation for the rest of your treatment. The data from your assessment will be used to determine your treatment plan.

Alcohol Rehab

Phase 2: Detox

This could be referred to as “the early abstinence phase.” The detox phase may also be considered to be the toughest one of all four due to withdrawal symptoms. For people who have developed a psychological dependence, this could really be an uphill battle, to say the very least. 

The professionals at a detox facility will do everything in their power to help guide you through detox and withdrawal safely, securely, and comfortably. 

Phase 3: Abstinence maintenance

Once a patient successfully completes about 90 days of continuous abstinence from toxic substances, they shift to maintaining that. That usually means developing strategies that would help them implement what they’ve learned in the early abstinence phase to take into other areas of their lives.

Phase 4: Long-term recovery

This phase is all about learning strategies to live a healthier, happy life and engaging in social activities that don’t involve having a drink. At this point, the patient’s priority is more than just about staying sober, but also the betterment of their overall well-being for a long time to come. 

How Long Does Alcohol Rehab Usually Take? 

The answer to this question will depend on the type of rehab program. Inpatient programs are much more extensive. There, patients will be under constant supervision. Often, they’ll also be required to join 12-step support groups and other forms of therapy. Usually, this process takes up to 30 days. 

Outpatient programs, on the other hand, are different. These usually involve a few hours of counseling and therapy for about 2-5 days each week. Those programs can last from one to six months, depending on the patient’s needs.

If you happen to be looking for a reliable rehab facility in the Granada Hills area in Los Angeles, Believe Detox Center can help. It offers comprehensive programs beginning from detox up to aftercare. Whether you’re struggling with alcohol or other hard substances, this facility can help you out.

The Facts About Alcohol Detox Programs

Written by admin on . Posted in Alcohol Detox Programs.

Did you try to stop or even cut back from drinking so much alcohol only to find that it’s impossible? Do you feel that there’s someone you care about very much who has a problem with alcohol? If either of those is the case, then alcohol detox programs very well may be the answer. Here at the Believe Detox Center, we’ve found that there are quite a few misconceptions folks tend to have about detox. Below, we explain what to know about detox.

How Long it Takes

Whether it’s from movies or television, some have the idea that detox is a lengthy process that goes on for a long time. Recovery is a journey, but the detox itself, the actual removing of the toxins from one’s body, doesn’t tend to last that long. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can begin within a day and tend to reach their zenith around the second or third day. For the most part, it takes about a week for the worst of the physical symptoms to pass. When you’re here, we make sure that your detox is as comfortable as possible. That’s not to say it won’t present challenges, but it will be better than if you were to do it yourself or go elsewhere.

What Makes One Detox Experience Different Than Another

Some people may go through detox without much in the way of physical pain, whereas others may find it to be incredibly challenging. Just as every person is different, so too is their detox process, how their body flushes out toxins. The length of your detox could be determined by how much alcohol you’ve consumed as well as how long you’ve been misusing it. Additionally, your physical makeup, your body itself will go a long way towards determining the length of detoxes, such as if you have any co-occurring medical conditions and the like.

You Will Be Watched Over

To that end, when you’re in our detox, you’ll be watched over by our trained medical professionals. Even the “easiest” detox isn’t “easy” for everyone. There are always difficulties and symptoms, some of which can be painful and even dangerous. So, when you’re here for detox, you’ll be watched over by our trained medical professionals. That way, you’ll always be safe and secure throughout the detox process, come what may.

Medicated-Assisted Treatment can Work

Speaking of making detox easier for those going through the process, we do offer medicated associated treatment. When you arrive, you’ll go through a thorough evaluation from our medical professionals. From there, they’ll figure out whether or not you should receive medications as part of your treatment. The goal of medicated-assisted treatment is to lessen the negative effects of withdrawal so that the process is as easy on you as possible. Again, nothing can make detox “easy,” but it can be easier through this treatment or others. As with every other aspect of detox, medicated-assisted treatment is overseen by our experienced medical professionals.

Beyond Alcohol Detox Programs

If you’re unable to keep yourself from consuming alcohol as much as you would like, then a detox can be the best decision for your needs. We’ve helped so many people who are in the same situation that you are right now. When you’re battling addiction, when you’re unable to stop drinking, it can feel like there’s no hope, nothing you can do. However, that’s not the case. If you want more information about how our detox can help or you would like to start the process, you can reach us at (818) 308-3118.

How to Know When it’s Time to go to an Alcohol Detox in Los Angeles

Written by admin on . Posted in Alcohol Detox.

Have you been wondering whether or not it’s time to go to alcohol detox in Los Angeles and the surrounding area? Do you feel like it might be time to talk to someone you love about getting help with their drinking? The short, pithy answer is to say that, if you feel like you should get help with your drinking, you probably should. That said, there are other reasons to come to alcohol detox.

If You Haven’t Had a Drink in Six Hours But Feel…

For many who struggle with alcohol addiction, the first symptoms of withdrawal can appear as early as six hours from the time you stop drinking. The majority will feel an awful hangover that doesn’t lessen but worsens over time. This can also lead to excessive sweating, headaches, vomiting, agitation, anxiety, or even vomiting and an inability to sleep. Many people feel this not long after having.

What You May Feel A Day or Two After Your Last Drink

If you are unable to keep from drinking for 24 to 48 hours, then you should reach out to a detox facility immediately. That said, the period of a day or two after drinking is considered by many to be the time during alcohol withdrawal when someone struggling with addiction is most at risk. This is the time when someone could experience high blood pressure, nightmares, and even heart irregularities, palpitations, and worse. Additionally, many have hallucinations, feel confused, or even go through seizures/delirium tremens. When you’re at our detox facility, you’ll always be watched over by our staff. We can lessen all of the symptoms that you’ll face so that your detox can be as smooth as possible.

Behaviors You May Exhibit

Beyond the physical symptoms, there are behaviors clients have exhibited that have shown them it’s time to go to detox. For example, they may find that they spend so much of their time trying to get alcohol. In turn, they find that misusing alcohol has placed a strain on so many of their relationships, with friends, family, co-workers, and the like. If your alcohol tolerance has become so high if you find that you lack interest in so many of the activities that used to bring you joy, coming to detox very well could be the best decision you could make.

You Can’t Quit or Stop

Indeed, this is the most common reason that people come to a detox. They can’t stop drinking. Or rather, they can try to stop but find that they simply cannot. Many come to us after they tried to cut back on their drinking for a while and discovered that they were unable to do so. If you find yourself in this category, there’s nothing “weak” about you. All it means is that you need help from experienced professionals to be able to clear those toxins out of your body. We’ve helped so many who are in the same situation that you are right now.

After Alcohol Detox in Los Angeles

Detox is an important, genuinely life-saving step for so many. Through detox, people can clean all of those dangerous toxins out of their bodies, all while being overseen by medical professionals. That said, while detox is an important step, it is also often an important first step. So many who have come through our detox then move on to our other treatments, so that they’re able to take the next steps on their journey of recovery.
