Alcohol withdrawal can be hard, but it’s also a step toward a better life. At DeNovo Recovery, we focus on making this process safe and manageable through personalized care.
1. Start with Medical Detox for Safety
Quitting alcohol suddenly can be risky. Symptoms like tremors or seizures can escalate quickly. At DeNovo, we offer 24/7 medical care to monitor clients closely, easing symptoms and preventing emergencies. This gives clients a safer, more comfortable start to recovery.
2. Use Medication to Manage Cravings
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Drugs like naltrexone block alcohol’s effects, while acamprosate helps clients stay alcohol-free. These treatments make it easier to focus on healing, not just on staying sober.
3. Heal with Therapy and Support Groups
Withdrawal isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, too. Our therapists guide clients through counseling sessions to explore the roots of addiction. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and group therapy provide tools for coping with life’s challenges. Family therapy can also repair damaged relationships, creating a strong support network.
4. Stick with Aftercare to Prevent Relapse
Sobriety doesn’t end after detox. Aftercare is crucial for staying on track. We design custom plans with options like outpatient programs and sober living arrangements. Support groups, like AA or SMART Recovery, offer continued accountability.
5. Involve Loved Ones in Recovery
Support from family makes a big difference. We invite families to join the recovery process, helping clients feel supported. Peer support networks also provide a sense of community, reducing feelings of isolation.
6. Tailor Your Treatment Plan
Every journey is unique. That’s why we personalize every plan. Whether clients need residential care, day programs, or outpatient services, we meet them where they are. The goal is lasting success with the right tools for long-term sobriety.
