Alcohol Detox

This outpatient alcohol detox program is for clients who need medical intervention to eliminate alcohol from their systems. This medically supervised private alcohol detox is performed in a comfortable suite or in the client’s personal residence. Medications and other interventions are provided by a specially trained, licensed medical staff under physician supervision to help clients manage the symptoms of withdrawal.

To participate in the outpatient alcohol detox program, clients must be medically stable with no history of uncontrolled seizures, not currently pregnant, not have acute hepatitis, uncontrolled hypertension, or any other uncontrolled mental or physical illness. This also includes no history of violence towards themselves or others.

The private alcohol detox program includes:

• Screening, intake, and orientation about our services
• Medical assessment
• Individualized treatment planning with an interdisciplinary staff
• Pharmacotherapy
• Medical services
• Laboratory screenings
• Alcohol detox medications

With our outpatient alcohol detox program, there is no need to be concerned about pain or discomfort during detox. Our physician supervised staff of highly trained medical personnel closely monitor every patient during the process. Furthermore, as each individual has different needs, we provide a "client specific" treatment plan, which means we will tailor a program specifically for you, and let you recover at your own pace.

At Breakthrough Addiction Recovery, our alcohol detox program includes the revolutionary drug Naltrexone (Revia). Naltrexone blocks the euphoric feeling that alcohol causes in the brain. Therefore, the desire and need to consume alcohol subsides. In fact, many of our patients report a sense of calm within one or two hours after taking their first dosage. In only 9 to 12 months, most people are able to stop taking Naltrexone and experience few or no cravings. With cravings reduced, relapse is far less likely to happen.
