You have decided to take the necessary steps towards tackling your addiction disorder. Committing to change is a monumental step in and of itself. It can be extremely difficult to admit that your relationship with alcohol is no longer serving. You know that a drastic adjustment needs to be made — and fast.
What Step Should You Take Next?
If you have been consistently using alcohol for longer than several weeks, we recommend beginning your personal journey of addiction recovery with a short stay in a medical detox center. The withdrawal process can be unpredictable, and is liable to result in serious complications when left untreated. Withdrawal symptoms are often physical and psychological in nature.
When you check yourself into a medically monitored detox program, you are granting yourself the opportunity to undergo alcohol withdrawal in a safe, supportive environment. Symptoms will be effectively treated as soon as they develop by a team of licensed medical professionals.
At medical detox centers like Princeton Detox & Recovery Center, your comfort is consistently prioritized. Not only does detoxing in a designated center provide you with safe and comfortable withdrawal experience, but a solid foundation will be laid ensuring your continued success in sobriety.
Creating a Personalized Aftercare Plan
While you are in detox you will work closely with a clinical team, which includes your primary therapist, your case manager, and any nurses or medical doctors who have been overseeing physical symptoms. Your clinical team will devise a personalized aftercare plan before you are discharged. This plan will include a transition into the next appropriate level of clinical care, whether that is inpatient treatment, Partial Hospitalization, or outpatient treatment.To learn more about choosing a treatment program that is right for you, refer to our informational article HERE.
