What Types of Rehab are Available for Alcohol Abuse in Arlington?


When searching for an Alcohol Rehab Center and Alcohol Detoxification Facility in Arlington it is imperative to select the correct type of Alcohol Rehabilitation Center and Alcohol Detoxification Facility in Arlington that will address your specific treatment needs. For most people, alcohol abuse and addiction is largely misunderstood and as a result, people often make improper choices as to which type of Alcohol Rehab Program and Alcohol Detox Facility in Arlington they should consider, therefore they often receive inadequate treatment. When alcohol abuse has become a central aspect of life for yourself or your loved one, time is essential. You must quickly educate yourself about the many different types of Alcohol Treatment Centers available in Arlington.

Most Alcohol Treatment Facilities in Arlington will offer a variety of services but often they will be categorized as a specific treatment type. There are many alcohol treatment types available including, out-patient alcohol treatment, inpatient alcohol treatment, alcohol detox, short term alcohol treatment or long term alcohol treatment.

Outpatient Alcohol Treatment in Arlington

There are many outpatient Alcohol Rehabilitation and Alcohol Detox Centers in Arlington. Most consist of some form of education classes, support groups, and or individualized therapy where the alcohol user does not require overnight stay. This is a popular form of treatment because of it's flexibility especially for those who cannot take long periods of time to devote entirely to alcohol abuse treatment. These types of programs can be very useful to those in Arlington who must continue to work or attend school. Programs for outpatient treatment vary depending on the patient’s needs and the facility but they can consist simply of attending an community 12-step group, to a more structured outpatient program typically meeting a couple of times every week for a couple of hours at a time or, intensive out-patient(IOP) which consists of a highly structured group program that meets 3 to 5 days a week for a few hours at a time.

Attending outpatient treatment is different from inpatient treatment in that you are not under constant supervision, you still live at home and requires strict self discipline. For those who fear they may give in to the temptation of alcohol in the early stages of treatment, inpatient residential treatment at a Arlington Alcohol Rehabilitation Program and Alcohol Detox Facility is recommended.

Inpatient Alcohol Treatment in Arlington

Individuals who feel their alcohol abuse has affected their lifestyle such as their family, friends, or work will benefit greatly from inpatient alcohol treatment. This form of treatment provides the recovering alcohol addict with support 24-hours a day. Additionally, removing the individual from their former surroundings helps them to adjust to living an alcohol-free lifestyle. The benefits of inpatient treatment also include the reduced likelihood of the individual using alcohol while in treatment as well as highly structured days.

Inpatient treatment can take place in a variety of locations. Many first think of hospitals or similar accommodations, however, this is not always the case. Inpatient treatment takes place in residential settings as well. In fact, the preferred treatment environment of an inpatient Alcohol Treatment Program and Alcohol Detoxification Center in Arlington would be one that was is restrictive than a hospital, but has close supervision and structured days. Most of these types of SINGULER in Arlington offer supervised detoxification that may involve medication in a hospital setting or social detoxification (i.e. no medication) in a non-hospital setting.

Alcohol Detox in Arlington is where the recovery process begins. Quitting alcohol abuse can initially be very uncomfortable and withdrawal symptoms often occur. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening in some cases so it is important to seek care in a Arlington alcohol detox facility where medical professionals can manage and minimize the symptoms associated with drug or alcohol withdrawal under 24 hour care and supervision.

It is important to note that although alcohol detox plays a valuable role in the alcohol abuse recovery process, it is does NOT constitute a complete recovery. It is recommended that the alcohol abuser attends a Arlington Alcohol Treatment Facility and Alcohol Detox Facility after the initial alcohol detox process is complete.

Short Term Alcohol Treatment in Arlington

Short term Alcohol Rehabilitation and Alcohol Detoxification Facilities in Arlington consist of inpatient treatment typically lasting 28 - 30 days or less. Short term Alcoholism Treatment and Alcohol Detox Centers were originally designed to conform with insurance companies because many insurance carriers only cover a maximum of 28 to 30 days of substance abuse treatment. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict with certainty that exactly "28 days" is the correct amount of time to recover from an alcohol abuse problem. In fact, in most cases this is not enough time for a successful lasting recovery.

Short term Alcohol Programs Alcoholism Centers in Arlington can be beneficial for those who have only been abusing alcohol for a short amount of time and the degree of alcohol abuse is relatively low. Short term Alcoholism Treatment Centers in Arlington provide the alcohol abuser the opportunity to get away from their drinking patterns and for a short amount of time and focus on medical stabilization, abstinence, and lifestyle changes.

Long Term Alcohol Treatment in Arlington

Long term alcohol treatment, otherwise known as long term “Residential” alcohol treatment generally lasts anywhere from 3 to 12 months in a residential, non-hospital setting.

Long term Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers in Arlington focus on developing personal accountability and responsibility and ethical productive lives. Long term Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs in Arlington are highly structured with activities designed to help residents examine harmful beliefs, self-concepts, and patterns of behavior and to adopt new life skills, coping skills and constructive ways to interact with others.

Quick Drug Facts

Unlike other drugs, alcohol has no specific receptor to activate in the brain. For example, cocaine's receptor is called the dopamine transporter. Heroin's receptor is called the opioid receptor(s), and the receptor for marijuana is called the cannabinoid receptor. Scientists used to think that alcohol "melted" (not a scientific term) the nerve membrane in a reversible way, but today scientists are inclined to believe that alcohol has affinity for certain receptors for other chemicals in the brain. For example, alcohol is known to affect the GABA receptor, the NMDA receptor, and probably others to produce its myriad of behavioral and toxicological effects.
Heavy drinking is highest among those living in the North Central region of the U.S.
A "beer belly" is caused by eating too much food. No beer or other alcohol beverage is necessary.
Strains of yeast have been developed that can survive in solutions of up to 25% alcohol by volume, but these were bred for ethanol fuel production, not beverage production.
