South Miami Recovery Inc

When an addicted person makes the decision to stop drinking and seek treatment, alcohol rehab is their first stop. Here is what you can expect in the earliest stages of recovery.

Detox – Treatment for alcohol abuse starts with detoxification. Often shortened to “detox,” this phase of the process is incredibly important. All traces of alcohol must be removed from a person’s system before healing can begin. Quitting “cold turkey” can result in life-threatening side effects like seizures, delirium tremens (DTs), and even death. For this reason, detox should take place in a medically supervised environment, under the care of licensed clinicians.

Individual Therapies – Addiction doesn’t develop in a vacuum. Your mental health, past decisions, and environment combine to create a substance use disorder. Our highly skilled therapists will work with you to identify harmful patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to alcohol addiction.

Group Therapy – There’s one phrase from the Rooms that is especially meaningful: “no one does it alone.” Without the support and insight of our fellow addicts, we are unlikely to recover. At South Miami Recovery, we offer group sessions that provide accountability, encouragement, and education about the disease of addiction.

Continued Care – After your initial treatment has concluded, you have the option to continue receiving addiction treatment services. We recommend getting involved in local 12-Step meetings while attending group or individual sessions for the foreseeable future. Long-term treatment is associated with improved outcomes.
