Alcohol and Drug Rehab

Alcohol and Drug Rehab

The common misconception about alcoholism and drug addiction is that it’s a choice brought about by lack of morality and will-power combined with a hedonistic attitude toward life. The truth is that however drug and alcohol use started, at a certain point an individual crosses an invisible line when it’s no longer a choice whether they drink or use. The compulsion can be so great, it overrides everything else including commitments to family, friends, work, career or school. When drug and alcohol abuse reaches this level of severity, alcohol and drug rehab is necessary.

Reining in alcoholism and drug addiction is not an easy task. The addiction cycle is difficult to break and this is why professional help at a alcohol and drug rehab center such as SouthCoast Recovery is necessary. SouthCoast Recovery offers a safe, supportive and 24 hour supervised environment that allows an individual to safely wean off of drugs and alcohol and reclaim their life with professional help.

Initial intake at a alcohol and drug rehab like SouthCoast Recovery consists of a clinical evaluation to determine history of alcohol and drug abuse along with family history, underlying mood disorders or emotional trauma, physical ailments and any other dynamics that could be contributing to an individual’s alcoholism or drug addiction. In addition to the proper diagnosis and treatment of underlying issues, a alcohol and drug rehab offers traditional detox methods to help sever the physical dependency on drugs and alcohol. At SouthCoast Recovery, we offer a variety of detox methods to ensure a safe and comfortable detox. Our traditional medical detox offers a mild form of prescription medication to help ease the body through withdrawal in as safe and comfortable manner as possible.

However alcoholism or drug addiction happens, no one intentionally sets out to end up in alcohol and drug rehab. The process of severing physical and psychological dependency is not an easy one but ultimately it can be the most rewarding experience in an individual’s life. At SouthCoast Recovery, we offer clinical care in combination with advanced holistic therapies of acupuncture and massage for overall mind, body and spirit renewal. Our residential drug and alcohol treatment facility is located in Dana Point, California, just south of renowned Laguna Beach. Eight residential homes equipped with all the modern conveniences and comforts help provide a supportive and healing atmosphere necessary for initial recovery.
