Sober Shores Alcohol Detox and Drug Detox Programs

Being addicted to any substance whether it is alcohol, a street drug or prescription medications is a serious condition that can be fatal if not treated. Thinking about the alcohol and/or drug detox process can be frightening. Given the severity of some withdrawal symptoms, most are not able to tolerate the detox process on their own. We can help! Our alcohol and drug detox programs are designed to make you as safe and comfortable as possible. In most severe withdrawal cases the doctor will order medication during the withdrawal period.

The acute withdrawal stage of the alcohol or drug detox period normally lasts about five to seven days. Withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the substance being abused. Some classic withdrawal symptoms are insomnia, fatigue, chills, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pains. In some cases these symptoms can be as severe as hallucinations, seizures and drug induced psychosis.
