Arizona Alcohol Detox

Detox Safely from Alcohol 

The ultimate goal of any Arizona alcohol detox center is an effective, long-lasting recovery from alcohol abuse. While going through the detox process, it’s best to work with a medically supervised detox center. Desert Cove Recovery offers referrals to several detox facilities in the area if you need detox from alcohol prior to your addiction treatment. 

When looking for Arizona alcohol detox services, it’s important to consider the pros and cons associated with outpatient and inpatient treatment programs following detox so that you can make the decision for yourself.

Inpatient Treatment

Residential or inpatient programs require usually a minimum of 28-30 days. The actual duration of your stay depends on several factors including your personal circumstances, needs, diagnosis, and insurance coverage.

What are the distinct advantages of inpatient treatment?

Pros:

  • You follow a structured daily schedule focused on becoming healthy. The structure does not allow as much downtime as what is common with outpatient treatment, where your thirst for alcohol can surface. The fairly regimented schedule gives you stability and helps you to ride out the rougher moments in your healing.
  • You have access to the services of trained therapists 24/7. You do not battle your alcohol addiction alone.
  • You enjoy the benefits of being part of a community of individuals who are also trying to achieve sobriety.
  • You receive a higher level of care and supervision.
  • You can focus on recovering from your addiction without distractions from the outside world. As an inpatient, you can temporarily let go of your obligations to family, friends, school, or work. You can concentrate on addressing your personal alcohol-related issues and developing new health habits.
Cons:

  • You cannot come and go. You stay put in the center.
  • You have to deal with restrictions. Everything has to follow a schedule – waking up, eating, counseling sessions, daily activities, and free time. (The structure is a distinct purposive element of inpatient treatment. However, if you are not used to a regimented schedule, you may initially consider the structure as a “con”).
  • If you have children, you must arrange their care during this period.
  • You will have to take a leave from work to join an inpatient recovery
  • Your insurance may not cover inpatient treatment or limit your stay.

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient treatment has certain distinctive characteristics.

Pros:

  • An outpatient recovery program does not require you to check into the center. You sign up for specific counseling sessions and recovery courses to help you achieve sobriety.
  • You can still take care of your family and work responsibilities even as you go through your alcohol recovery program.
  • You can take advantage of counseling sessions usually offered at night or on weekends when your work schedule is lighter.
  • You can immediately apply in real life what you have learned during counseling. You do not have to wait to get back home to make changes.
  • You can get better support from your family because outpatient programs usually include family counseling sessions intended to strengthen the support network. These sessions help your loved ones better understand what you are going through. They equip your family with the essential understanding and skills to help you overcome the challenges associated with recovery.
  • An outpatient program is more affordable. It is usually covered by insurance.
  • Because outpatient care is more affordable, you can take advantage of extended addiction treatment options to ensure you have what you need for lasting recovery and relapse prevention.
Cons:

  • You still face the same physical and emotional triggers that may have driven you into becoming an alcoholic.
  • You can still get alcohol anytime you want to.
  • You must deal with distractions that may undermine your efforts to remain sober.
  • You can talk to your counselor only during the counseling sessions or when he is available when you make appointments.
  • Inpatients find it easy to develop a strong support system with other guests in the center. As an outpatient, you may not have the same advantage. You may find it more difficult to establish such a network of support.

Desert Cove Recovery

Desert Cove Recovery has established a distinct reputation as one of the leading alcohol recovery centers in Scottsdale, Arizona.

We offer a variety of treatment programs that are safe, efficient, and inexpensive. We offer access to counseling, medical assistance, learning programs, group support, and other holistic options. We offer all these options in safe, peaceful, and well-appointed surroundings to facilitate a successful and enduring recovery from alcoholism.

How long do you have to stay in a rehab program?

The duration of rehab will ultimately depend on you – and essential factors like the length and extent of your addiction to alcohol. You can decide to end treatment at any time but we will give you our well-considered and expert recommendation.

If necessary, after you complete your detoxification program, you will see your cravings increasingly decline. You will feel almost normal after a certain period of quitting. You will feel ready to go back to daily life and the challenges that go with it.

You will continue with your process of recovery after you leave our program. You can still visit our center for extended outpatient counseling, 12-step recovery meetings, and other lifestyle interventions to help you maintain sobriety.

Desert Cove Outpatient Treatment

We understand that some people cannot put their lives on hold for inpatient treatment. This is why we have worked out a program that helps you pursue sobriety even as you go on with work or school activities.

If you cannot take time off for residential treatment, Desert Cove offers outpatient addiction treatment counseling designed to help you in your journey toward long-term sobriety.

Outpatient counseling with our center is particularly beneficial if you are just in the beginning stages of alcoholism. If you recognize the early subtle signs of alcoholism, we can help motivate and teach you how to address the problem before it worsens.

Outpatient treatment is also recommended if you require continuing support to sustain your recovery.

Our outpatient rehab is convenient and affordable. We take a multidisciplinary approach to ensure that you get the best outpatient care and support we can offer. We offer the following services:

  • Individual Group therapy
  • Alcohol education
  • Detox referrals
