Alcoholism Treatment in Florida

While the opioid crisis has many preoccupied, alcoholism has been steadfastly killing thousands of Americans each year for centuries. Alcohol poisoning, alcohol-related car accidents, and the medical problems from long-term alcohol use continue to be a constant health concern. Alcoholism is a chronic disease, that is treatable. People can and do recover with alcoholism treatment.  Florida is one of the most well-recognized places to seek addiction treatment in the United States. Treatment centers in Florida offer their clients plenty of outdoor activity, job opportunities, and chances to connect with others in recovery from alcoholism.

What is Alcoholism?

Alcoholism or alcohol addiction is a term used to refer to chemical dependency on alcohol. It’s a problem that has been around since alcohol has existed in the world. It’s one the most heavily used addictive substances. In fact, studies show that more than half of all Americans consume alcohol. While not everyone who drinks becomes addicted, the fact that it’s so common contributes to high numbers of people with alcoholism problems.

Alcoholism is a chronic disease that affects the pleasure center of your brain. It occurs after a period of heavy drinking, when a person becomes physically or psychologically dependent. Some also use, and even abuse alcohol for a period of time without developing dependence.

Legal Drinking Creates Most Alcoholism

It’s commonplace to hear people say " alcohol is a safe recreational drug to consume because it is legal and other drugs are not." The truth is that drinking in excess has its own share of risks. For example, it can have very damaging effects on your physical health.  At the same time, alcohol abuse has been linked to myriad of health issues, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, cirrhosis, dementia, depression, and more.

Binge drinking has become a standard practice on college campuses and it’s seen as a fairly common occurrence for teens and young adults. However, research has shown that prolonged use of extreme amounts of alcohol can significantly slow or stop some brain development processes. 

Alcohol withdrawal symptoms are risky and dangerous. Specifically, they can be fatal if not managed by a medical doctor.   Moreover, central nervous system depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates can cause seizures when people are in withdrawal. Seizures aren’t typically fatal, but they can cause injuries, accidents, and medical complications.  Alcohol abuse is as dangerous as the addiction of some prescription and illegal drugs. Even though it’s legal and highly accessible, it should be taken seriously as an addictive substance.

The long-term medical consequences of alcohol addiction may include:

  • Brain damage
  • Liver disease
  • High-blood pressure and stroke
  • Sexual function problems
  • Declining immune system

Common signs of alcoholism include:

  • Recurrent or severe hangovers
  • Abandonment of personal responsibilities
  • Buildup of legal or financial issues related to drinking
  • Inability to stop or reduce drinking
  • Insomnia
  • Moodiness

Florida Alcoholism Treatment Programs

There are many types of alcohol treatment programs available. These include:

Medical Detox – During the detox stage, the body must rid itself of alcohol and other toxins through a medically-supervised program. This program addresses the dangers and symptoms of withdrawal associated with detox.

Partial Hospitalization Program – This program is intensive addiction treatment, where clients reside in off-site housing and are transported to our treatment center daily. Clients are supervised at all times.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment – This level of care is for patients who want the flexibility of outpatient care but must continue to undergo all-day treatment during the week.

Outpatient Treatment – Instead of living at an alcohol treatment center, clients live at home. They may continue to work, as alcohol treatment sessions can be planned around everyone’s schedule. Telehealth is also available for outpatient care.

"I attended Simple Path in June of 2019. I had never tried to get sober and I never went to treatment before. I was scared and vulnerable. I immediately felt safe at Simple Path. In the IOP the therapists listened to me, like actually heard and genuinely cared about me. They not only helped me on my path to sobriety but they also helped me immensely with my trauma. God willing I'll have 16 months on the 1st. I couldn't have done it without all the love and care from Simple Path. Thank you to Cathy, Heidi, Carrie, Emily, Sammy Jo and Ian!"
