Alcohol is by far the most commonly abused drug in the United States. Government estimates say that more than 17 million Americans have a substance abuse issue with alcohol. A good percentage of these are heavy, daily drinkers, alcoholics. Consuming large quantities of alcohol on a regular basis can make the body dependent. In the most severe cases, alcohol withdrawal results in a condition called delirium tremens (D.T.’s), which can be fatal if not properly treated.

The classic sign of alcohol withdrawal is the “shakes” — uncontrollable tremors that set in about 6 hours after the last drink. Thus many alcoholics need to drink alcohol in the morning just to steady their hands. Common alcohol withdraw symptoms include the following:

• Tremors (shakes)
• Hallucinations
• Irritability
• Delusions
• Insomnia
• Agitation
• Seizures
• Rapid heart rate
• Nausea / vomiting
• High blood pressure

Due to the possibility of seizures and D.T.s, it is necessary for addicts in alcohol withdrawal to be monitored closely by medical staff. At Sunrise Detox, we have an effective alcohol detox protocol that keeps our guests safe and comfortable during the alcohol detoxification process. Medications are used to prevent seizures and the onset of D.T.s, and our professional alcohol detox staff closely monitors the guests vital signs.

The inpatient center at Retreat Palm Beach County, situated in the tropical paradise of South Florida, specializes in substance abuse and mental health treatment for patients who need a flexible treatment model, providing counseling and other clinical services.

At Family Center for Recovery all patients, whether they are an adult, an adolescent or an expecting mother can enter different phases of treatment depending on what is medically indicated.

Residential Program

Residential level of care provides 24-hour medical supervision and support necessary to recover. Our triple-board certified psychiatrist identifies the state of the patient and, along with clinical treatment team, creates his/her individual treatment course. Our dedicated staff consistently monitor the patient and make any adjustments required for his or her rehabilitation.

Our goal at Family Center for Recovery is to offer our patients evidence-based practices, individualized attention, high staff-to-patient ratio and professional support for full recovery.

Lengths of stay in residential are determined by the patient’s needs. We will provide everything that we can during the recovery process of the patient.

Medical Detoxification Program

Detox is the most crucial program to the health and safety of our patients suffering from substance use disorder. Withdrawing from alcohol, benzodiazepines, opiates, and barbiturates can be fatal if not supervised by professionals. Our Medical Director closely oversee the detoxification process for patients who are withdrawing from drugs and alcohol. Our program is designed to keep our patients comfortable and safe.

Intensive Outpatient Program

The next phase of rehabilitation is the outpatient program. Patients are required to keep a steady job and attend group, 12-step, and other recommended therapies while residing in comfortable, Joint Commission Accredited transitional housing.

Outpatient Program

Patients are reunited with the real world fully when they reach our outpatient program, where our staff helps them transition back into their own residence and own life. We offer support groups as this is done, to continue strengthening their recovery. We do all we can to see them succeed.
