Battling addiction is one of the hardest challenges you can experience in life. If left untreated, addiction can grow to consume more and more of your life. Everything from your work to your relationships is impacted.
To help combat this, ARC opened the doors to its Arizona rehab campus in 2017. One of the most commonly abused substances we treat is alcohol, a socially acceptable substance to consume in excess. Our Arizona rehab campus patients will get the help they need from safe detox to addiction treatment.
Why Do You Need a Rehab Campus in Arizona?
Due to how accessible alcohol is, overcoming an addiction to it can be difficult. Many of those who try to do so on their own ultimately relapse due to the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. If you’re worried about a loved one’s alcohol consumption, you can tell if they are inebriated by looking for:
- Mood swings
- Lack of impulse control
- Slurred speech
- Nausea
- Reduced inhibitions
- Loss of balance or coordination
- Loss of consciousness or memory
- Difficulty making decisions or focusing
The short-term effects of alcohol are what collectively make up the “drunk” feeling you get when intoxicated. While they may not immediately have the biggest health impact, the dangers of more impulsive behavior and less inhibition can have fatal consequences.
Long-Term Side Effects
Attending our Arizona rehab campus as early in the addiction as possible is paramount to avoiding severe long-term health issues. Excessive alcohol consumption over long periods of time can lead to:
- Insomnia
- Weakened immune system
- Chronic anxiety or depression
- Loss of libido
- Appetite and weight changes
- Trouble creating new memories and recalling
- Difficulty focusing
- Brain damage
- Chronic pancreatitis
Therapy Methods Used in Rehab
At America’s Rehab Campuses, we believe in a comprehensive approach to recovery, combining science-backed therapies with holistic wellness practices.
Here are some key therapy methods we offer:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you identify triggers, change negative thought patterns, and develop coping skills for long-term sobriety.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Focuses on emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance, especially for individuals struggling with trauma or dual diagnosis.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): We use FDA-approved medications (if appropriate) to help ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings during detox.
Group Therapy & Peer Support: 12-step programs, SMART Recovery, and family therapy sessions foster a sense of community and accountability.
Holistic Therapy: We incorporate yoga, meditation, nutrition counseling, and exercise therapy to promote whole-body healing.
Each person’s recovery journey is different. That’s why we customize your treatment plan based on your addiction history, mental health, and personal preferences.
How Do I Help Someone Addicted to Alcohol?
Whether it’s a close friend, partner, or family member, the easiest way to help is to simply talk to them. Provide them with a judgment-free zone where they can share their concerns. Make sure you don’t cast any blame or fault on them for what’s happened, as this can have the opposite effect.
Just having someone to confide in can make a world of difference if they previously had no one. Steer the conversation towards how alcohol addiction has impacted them and how quitting could change that.
In some cases, an intervention is required to get the individual to agree. Interventions allow those close to the individual to speak their minds in a constructive and organized manner. The goal of any intervention is to get them to agree to treatment with an Arizona rehab campus ready to take them in.
