Alcohol Addiction Treatment Center

What Is Alcoholism and Alcohol Addiction?

You may need treatment for alcoholism if you drink more than what’s considered “moderate.” Moderate drinking is measured as two drinks per day for men and one drink for women. One alcoholic drink, in this case, is defined as:

• 12 oz. of beer
• 5 oz. of wine
• 1.5 oz. of hard liquor

Two patterns that may be associated with alcohol addiction are binge drinking and heavy drinking:

• Binge drinking: Consumption of five or more drinks for men and four or more for women in the space of two hours. 
• Heavy drinking: Drinking excessively over the course of a day or week. For men, heavy drinking is considered four-plus drinks a day or more than 14 servings of alcohol in a week. For women, it’s more than three drinks daily or more than seven weekly.

Alcohol use disorder is a disease with a wide-ranging impact on America’s public health. In 2019, 14.1 million adults said they suffered from some form of the disorder, according to a survey from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Risk factors for alcohol abuse include a genetic disposition to drinking, a family history of alcohol misuse, co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and drinking at an early age.

Alcohol use disorder spans a spectrum from mild alcohol abuse to alcoholism. In that end-stage, drinking becomes uncontrollable. People with alcoholism must drink to function each day, no matter the cost to themselves or others. That’s why it’s important to seek treatment to help manage the disease. Therapies can include medication, support groups, and behavior modification through modalities such as talk therapy. 

Treatment for Alcoholism

Stonegate Center’s alcohol rehab programs help you move forward confidently into a life of recovery. We offer comprehensive inpatient addiction treatment programs, as well as aftercare programs and a sober living house for men. We also follow all best practices for alcohol addiction treatment programs.

Alcohol Treatment Medications

Medical detox programs prepare your mind and body for recovery by clearing out toxic substances. It’s the typical first step for people who are entering into alcohol addiction treatment.

While you are being monitored in medical detox, you may be given prescription medications to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. These can include:

• Naltrexone
• Acamprosate
• Vivitrol
• Disulfiram

These medications are administered by medical professionals who can monitor their effectiveness and adjust dosages accordingly, so you get the best results.

Warning Signs of Alcohol Addiction 

Continued alcohol abuse leads to tolerance and dependency. That means you rely on alcohol, in progressively larger quantities, to function. Symptoms may start off mild but grow worse as the alcohol abuse continues. Here are some of the signs to watch for:

• Uncontrollable drinking.
• Blacking out due to intoxication.
• Engaging in risky behaviors.
• Lying to cover up the extent of alcohol use.
• Forsaking relationships and responsibilities in favor of drinking.
• Drinking during the day or other unusual times.
• Falling into legal trouble due to alcohol abuse.
• Extreme alcohol bloating and consistent digestive issues
• Withdrawal symptoms when alcohol consumption stops.
• Increased risk of health problems, including ulcers, liver disease, high blood pressure, vision disorders, and more.

Alcohol Withdrawal Signs & Symptoms

Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be grueling, especially if you’ve been addicted for a long period of time. It’s often best to go to an alcohol addiction treatment program where you are monitored during withdrawal and made as comfortable as possible with round-the-clock medical supervision.

These symptoms include:

• Mood swings
• Edginess and irritability
• Feelings of anxiety or depression
• Fatigue
• Body tremors or shaking
• Mental fogginess or confusion
• Sweating
• Headaches
• Difficulty eating or sleeping
• Nausea or vomiting

Stonegate Center offers a safe space and compassionate care while you manage withdrawal symptoms in alcohol addiction treatment.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment Options in Texas

You’re not alone in seeking help—in 2018, almost 23% of all admissions to Texas substance abuse treatment centers were alcohol-related. There are many rehab facilities in major cities, but some people prefer to travel for treatment. Our 125-acre ranch in Azle is close to the Dallas-Fort Worth area but offers a secluded environment so you can focus on your sobriety. 

Our admissions team is available 24 hours a day, every day, at (817) 993-9733. During a confidential consultation, our experienced admissions counselors will make you feel welcome, answering any questions you have about treatment for alcoholism at Stonegate Center. 

You’ll learn more specifics about our treatment programs, which require a minimum commitment of 45 days. We can also work with you on insurance verification to see if your plan covers rehabilitation services. And our counselors will talk with you about your history of alcohol use and any current symptoms to ensure Stonegate Center is the right fit for you. 

Inpatient Alcohol Rehab Treatment

Inpatient treatment gives you a valuable opportunity to focus on healing from addiction, without distractions and with the guidance of experts in rehabilitation. 

Alcohol addiction treatment at inpatient facilities typically requires a minimum 30-day stay, but longer programs of 45 or 90 days are also common. The days are structured and organized with 

therapy sessions, support group meetings, and other activities aimed at whole-person healing. Once an inpatient stay is completed, many facilities offer continuing care programs you can participate in when you return home.

Success Rate of Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Professional rehabilitation programs offer you a better chance of maintaining sobriety after treatment. These programs give you a strong support network, access to professional therapists who work with you on the issues underlying addiction, and tools and coping strategies so you no longer have to rely on alcohol to get through the day.

The success rate of alcohol addiction treatment also improves if you choose a long-term inpatient program such as Stonegate Center. For instance, research indicates that participants in long-term drug and alcohol treatment ranging from 90 days to more than six months have about a 70% success rate. We are committed to helping you achieve sobriety with our long-term alcohol rehab treatment.

• After detox, clients take up residence in our gender-separated facilities and start working on the tools they need for recovery. Our programs take a whole-person approach that addresses healing for the mind, body, and spirit. Stonegate Center offers fitness and nutrition therapies, individual, group, and family counseling, and sessions that teach the concepts of meditation and prayer principles. Treatment plans are personalized for each client. 
• Finally, our continuum of care progresses even after clients leave our residential treatment program. To help ensure a smooth transition back to their everyday life and offer support in the early stages of recovery.
