How Does Our Alcohol Rehab Program Work?

Like other rehabs, including drug addiction rehab programs, alcohol rehab works best when it is tailored to the individual’s unique situation, needs, and goals. At The Lakes Treatment Center, we provide a range of alcoholism treatments and integrated services that can be continually modified and adjusted as the client navigates the recovery process.

Although every situation is unique, our Northern California alcohol rehab typically involves the following steps:

  • Initial consultation: Our admissions process begins with a complimentary consultation, either in person or over the phone. During this consultation, we can answer your questions and provide more information about our facility and our treatments.
  • Personalized assessment: Following the initial consultation, we provide a personalized assessment to determine the best treatment plan for you. During this assessment, our professional intake team evaluates a range of factors, from your current alcohol consumption to your general medical history and more.
  • Supervised detox: If necessary, we may recommend medically assisted detox. We provide safe, fully supervised alcohol detox services onsite at our treatment center. Our staff provides 24-hour support and, in some cases, can help ease the discomfort associated with detox with a personalized medication plan.
  • Therapy: A combination of individual and group therapy has been proven to be among the most effective methods of treating alcohol use disorder. Our treatment program includes a range of therapies, from cognitive behavioral therapy to rational emotive behavioral therapy to mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to address addiction and its underlying causes.
  • Dual diagnosis treatment: Often, alcohol abuse occurs alongside other mental and behavioral health disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. The Lakes Treatment Center is licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to provide treatment for those struggling with substance misuse and co-occurring disorders.
  • Life skills development: We provide our residents with the resources and tools they need to navigate sobriety outside of our facility. Our life skills development programs focus on relationship rebuilding, employment, education, nutrition, and physical activity, as well as managing triggers and preventing relapse.
  • Recreational activities: A big part of our alcohol abuse treatment program involves engaging in recreational activities, both onsite and on nearby Lake Tulloch. We strive to help our residents develop healthy, positive hobbies as critical—but often overlooked—element of long-term sobriety.

What Is Alcohol Use Disorder?

Alcohol use disorder, more commonly known as alcoholism, is a medical condition in which an individual feels a compulsive need to consume alcohol despite negative consequences. Typically, someone suffering from alcoholism will also exhibit signs of physical dependence and increased tolerance as well.

Tolerance occurs when a person requires more of a substance—in this case, alcohol—to achieve the same or similar effects they experienced when first using it. Dependence occurs when the individual begins to experience signs of withdrawal when not using the substance. Someone who needs to drink increasing amounts of alcohol to get “buzzed” or drunk has a higher tolerance; if they suffer from cravings, tremors, nausea, and/or other withdrawal symptoms when not drinking, they have a physical dependence on alcohol.

Excess alcohol consumption is extremely hard on the body and can be very dangerous. If left untreated, alcoholism can even be life-threatening. Over time, alcohol use disorder can lead to liver disease or failure, gastrointestinal issues, renal failure, heart disease, stroke, and other devastating illnesses. Often, those struggling with an alcohol use disorder find it incredibly difficult to cut back or stop drinking without professional help. In some cases, it may even be dangerous for an individual to quit “cold turkey.”

What Are the Signs of Alcohol Misuse, Abuse & Addiction?

Because alcohol is both legal for those over the age of 20 and commonly consumed in the United States, it can be difficult to pinpoint when someone’s drinking has spiraled out of control. Many people think of alcoholism as an intense and obvious addiction characterized by 24/7 consumption and frequent blackouts. While this can certainly be the case, alcohol abuse is not always so obvious.

In fact, alcoholism is far more commonly a slippery slope. Someone may build tolerance through social drinking over a certain amount of time. They may be more likely to brush off potential warning signs if they frequently spend time with friends or family members who share similar drinking habits. In some addiction cases, simply wanting to cut back on alcohol consumption could indicate that a person is concerned about the level of control they have over their drinking.

If you are worried about your own drinking habits, ask yourself the following questions:

  • Does the majority of your social life revolve around alcohol?
  • Do you use alcohol to feel less anxious or more relaxed in social settings?
  • Do you usually or always continue drinking when you get home from a social event?
  • Does it take you a lot of alcohol or more alcohol than before to get drunk?
  • Is drinking alcohol your primary method of relaxing or relieving stress?
  • Have you thought about refraining from drinking but been unable to follow through?
  • Does your personality change when you are drunk?
  • Do you spend a significant amount of time thinking about drinking or getting drunk?
  • Are you frequently hungover/recovering from alcohol consumption?
  • Will you drink any type of alcohol you can get?
  • Have you had times where you ended up drinking more or for longer than you intended?
  • Have you avoided eating so that you could get drunker faster?
  • Do you feel irritable, depressed, anxious, or “antsy” when not drinking?
  • Have you experienced any changes in your sleep patterns or mood when not drinking?
  • Does your family have a history of drinking/alcoholism?
  • Do you feel a strong desire to keep drinking despite negative consequences?

Answering yes to some or most of these questions could indicate that your drinking has gotten out of control. Although it can be difficult to admit that you need help, doing so is the first step toward healing. At The Lakes Treatment Center, we offer complimentary consultations to discuss what you can do next to pursue a better, healthier, and happier future.

Physical Symptoms of Alcoholism & Alcohol Withdrawal

Alcohol is toxic and, over time, it can have many negative effects on the body. Additionally, those struggling with alcohol abuse or alcoholism may experience highly unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when not drinking or consuming alcohol, causing them to feel a strong desire to drink more.

Some of the physical symptoms of alcoholism include:

  • Excessive sweating
  • Shaking, especially in the morning
  • Tremors
  • Redness, particularly in the face
  • Diarrhea
  • Gastrointestinal issues
  • Weight gain or loss
  • Infections
  • Skin abscesses/sores
  • Unexplained injuries
  • Cirrhosis and other liver problems

Someone struggling with alcohol abuse may also become secretive about their drinking, or they may begin experiencing significant financial or interpersonal relationship problems. They are more likely to drink until blacking out and may be drunk or hungover most of the time.

Alcoholism is also characterized by withdrawal when alcohol is not being consumed. Withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable and often has numerous physical, mental, and behavioral effects.

Some of the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal include:

  • Anxiety
  • Tremors or shaking
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Headache
  • Sweating
  • Insomnia
  • Hallucinations
  • Seizures
  • Confusion
  • High blood pressure
  • “Racing” heart
  • Fever
  • Delusions

Alcohol withdrawal can be very dangerous and may even be life-threatening. It is critically important that individuals suffering from moderate to severe alcohol abuse do NOT attempt to stop drinking entirely, or quit “cold turkey,” on their own. Rather, supervised, medically assisted detox may be required.

What Are the Benefits of Alcohol Addiction Rehab?

Alcohol addiction will negatively affect your physical, mental, financial, and social health. The damage will only get worse as the addiction is allowed to persist without challenging it.

Alcohol Rehab FAQ

What should I do if someone is suffering from alcohol poisoning?

If someone is suffering from alcohol poisoning, call 911 and provide them with the details of their symptoms. Alcohol poisoning can be fatal or cause permanent injuries if untreated. If the person is unconscious and vomiting or will likely vomit, then you should roll them onto their side while you await emergency medical assistance.

How long can alcohol treatment take?

Alcohol treatment can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months or even longer, depending on the severity of the addiction and the individual’s willingness and ability to commit to recovery. Treatment may include detoxification, counseling, therapy, relapse prevention, aftercare planning, and more. Our treatment plan is tailored to each person’s individual needs and goals, which can also help keep the plan moving, so recovery takes less time than you might have first expected.

Is rehab necessary to treat alcohol abuse?

Rehabilitation is highly recommended to treat alcohol abuse or dependency because it provides structure and support to begin the journey toward lasting recovery. It also provides a safe environment where people can focus on their recovery without triggers or influences that can lead them back into a cycle of addiction. Through therapy, counseling, and other evidence-based treatments, people in alcohol rehab are taught the skills they need to cope with their cravings and make positive decisions in the future.

Will insurance cover my alcohol treatment?

It’s important to check with your insurance provider to get an estimate of what is covered for alcohol addiction recovery treatments. Or you can speak with our intake team, who can check to see if your insurance provider is accepted here. Generally, most health insurance policies will provide at least some coverage of the costs associated with inpatient and outpatient rehab programs, and we accept most major health insurance policies.

Can I work while in alcohol rehab?

Some people may be able to work part-time or maintain a flexible schedule during outpatient rehab. However, it is important to prioritize recovery and ensure that work does not interfere with treatment.

What is the role of therapy in alcohol rehab?

Therapy plays a vital role in addressing the causes of alcohol addiction and developing ways of coping with cravings.

What happens after alcohol rehab?

After completing rehab, individuals may benefit from attending aftercare programs, such as support groups or continuing therapy. These programs can help maintain sobriety and address ongoing challenges.

Can I relapse after alcohol rehab?

Relapse is a common experience in recovery. It is important to have a relapse prevention plan in place and seek support if you experience cravings or urges to drink.

How can I support a loved one in alcohol rehab?

Offer unconditional love, support, and encouragement. Attend family therapy sessions, learn about addiction, and avoid enabling behaviors.
