Alcohol Treatment

When you choose our PHP level treatment facility to help you with your alcohol problem, we treat it the same way we would for a patient having other substance abuse issues. Alcohol is still an addictive drug and is treated at our sober living facility as such.

Your success in recovery depends on how much you want to quit drinking and how much effort you put into our alcohol treatment program. We will help you identify necessary steps that you can take in order to free yourself from physical dependence, but only you can decide how successful you will be after you leave our facility.

Many people believe that just because alcohol is a legal substance that it also means that it has little impact on their health. Unfortunately, alcohol is a dangerous drug and can cause a wide variety of health problems. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to cirrhosis of the liver which is a progressive disease that makes your liver unable to heal itself. Patients with this disease can also end up developing liver cancer from complications associated with cirrhosis which leads to an enormous amount of suffering.

Detoxing from alcohol at home is never a safe idea. In fact, alcohol withdrawal is actually more dangerous than detoxing from most illicit street drugs. Trying to do this on your own can lead to heart palpitations, panic attacks, delirium, psychosis, seizures, and even death. Our experienced doctors can help you avoid dangerous and unwanted side effects by prescribing you medication during your stay with us, so that you can detox safely.

We never advise patients to use alcohol in any amount after receiving treatment for their alcohol addiction. Often times, one drink leads to two and that leads back to the vicious cycle you worked so hard to get out of. Living an alcohol free life can be overwhelming at first, but it can be achieved with persistence.

We offer two different types of addiction counseling here at PAX Memphis Recovery Center. You will be encouraged to attend have sessions with your own independent addiction therapist as well as attend several group counseling sessions every week. We also encourage all of our patients that stay here at our addiction treatment facility to attend either Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) after you have completed your stay with us.
