Alcohol Detox in Los Angeles
Understanding Alcohol Detox in Los Angeles
Alcohol addiction and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are complicated diseases that affect every facet of daily life. While taking the first step into treatment and alcohol rehab can be challenging, it can also be the door to new experiences and lifelong change, and it all starts with effective alcohol detox. Thrive Treatment’s dedicated substance abuse treatment center can help you explore this first step into detox to begin your alcohol treatment journey to a sober life.
What Is Alcohol Detox?
Alcohol detox is typically the first step in a dedicated rehab program that begins your journey to lasting sobriety. The goal of alcohol detox is to remove traces of alcohol from the body while safely navigating challenging withdrawal symptoms that can be common during this level of care.
These programs typically last one to two weeks. During this time in our dedicated rehab center, we provide mental, emotional, physical, and medical support to help you overcome these challenges during this first important step to healing, not just starting your alcohol-free life, but helping you transition to further levels of care at our addiction treatment center.
Why Detoxification Is the First Step in Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Removing alcohol from the body and navigating withdrawal symptoms with professional care is paramount for preventing early relapse in recovery, while also creating an effective foundation of sobriety from which to build personalized addiction treatment programs. Preventing early relapse, stabilizing mental and physical health, and having access to professionals to educate and guide each person to further levels of care are crucial for making the most of your recovery efforts in a dedicated recovery center.
How Alcohol Detox Supports Long-Term Recovery
Alcohol detox helps you take your first step into a dedicated addiction treatment center, prioritizing safety and stability as well as education that may not otherwise be available when attempting to detox on one’s own. Access to relapse prevention support and professionals to guide each person throughout their transition to further levels of care, whether they are transitioning to dedicated inpatient treatment or outpatient addiction treatment programs, can all ensure that a person not only takes a confident first step in their healing journey, but also continues this journey to sustainable and profound change.

Alcohol Detox Programs and Levels of Care
Effective alcohol detox is just the beginning of your healing, with further levels of care following your successful completion of alcohol detox in Los Angeles. However, which program is right for you will depend on your unique needs and goals, and how these programs can help support continued healing from addiction, mental health issues, and more.
Inpatient Alcohol Detox and Residential Treatment Programs
Residential treatment programs provide a holistic approach to change, focusing not just on your continued sobriety from alcohol but also on your overall well-being. During these programs, you live on-site at an alcohol and drug addiction facility, spending your time alongside peers and professionals to explore the root cause of addiction and alcohol use, the behaviors and lifestyles that enable such use, and new skills, daily routines, coping strategies, and perspectives to create a truly transformed daily life.
These programs last anywhere from 30 days to 90 days on average. Each day is structured with professionals as you learn new skills, challenge previously held or self-destructive lifestyles, and develop practical coping and grounding strategies to continue to prioritize sobriety and healing while navigating stresses, urges, cravings, and more in your journey.
Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Options
Residential is not the only option available. Rather, outpatient treatment options offer a program that balances personal needs and responsibilities with ongoing and effective care. These programs are regular meetings at a dedicated treatment facility, even while you are living on your own outside of a dedicated sober environment. This is ideal for those continuing to tend to their professional life or may not have the means to commit to an extended stay in residential treatment.
While some may transition from alcohol detox to outpatient treatment and the stresses that come with it, outpatient programs are more often used as a step down from residential care in Los Angeles, helping those who have had time to practice coping strategies maintain their well-being and sober focus while taking on new responsibilities and furthering their sober lives.
Medical Detox and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Detox can be challenging, with an array of withdrawal symptoms and personal challenges all making this a tumultuous time of change. Medical support during detox, as well as medication-assisted treatment (MAT), can provide the addiction support needed to maintain sobriety during this time.
While medication is not a replacement for detox, professional care, or the development of personalized coping strategies, it can help address specific withdrawal symptoms and provide support while developing other skills, aiding in a more effective beginning to your healing journey.
Holistic and Behavioral Therapy Approaches for Mental Health Disorders
Addiction is a complicated disease, and having a holistic approach to change and sobriety is necessary to address the various ways it affects a person’s daily life and overall well-being. Understanding the intersection between addiction, behaviors, and behavioral needs, and their relationship with underlying mental health disorders, is all part of a holistic and effective approach to transformative addiction and alcohol treatment.
Thrive Treatment provides comprehensive mental health support and services, empowering you to explore mental health needs through an effective dual-diagnosis program, treating these challenges in tandem for effective care.
What to Expect During the Alcohol Detox Process
Knowing what to expect during alcohol detox in Los Angeles can help you better commit to your healing and change, taking this first important step with confidence. Thrive Treatment is here to help you take this first step, while creating a unique program that fits your needs and being transparent about the challenges and expectations of this important start of your healing journey.
Managing Withdrawal Symptoms Safely
Symptoms of withdrawal can be intense, with feelings of nausea, vomiting, anxiety, restlessness, and more all being common. Withdrawal from alcohol can affect you mentally, emotionally, and physically, with symptoms that vary in severity depending on your unique history with alcohol. It can be impossible to know exactly what to expect during detox, and having professional support to manage withdrawal symptoms safely while maintaining sobriety is paramount. Some other potential withdrawal symptoms include:
- Depression
- Increased heart rate and blood pressure
- Sweating
- Shaking
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Insomnia and nightmares
- Confusion
- Headaches
Having support to navigate these challenges can ensure that you can overcome them without turning back to alcohol use.
Personalized Treatment Plans for Lasting Recovery
During detox, we also work with you to explore what healing can look like for you. We at Thrive Treatment believe that there is never a “one-size-fits-all” approach to sobriety. Rather, it is an individualized journey that must address your unique experiences. Your personalized treatment begins with these very first steps, creating a plan for sustainable change that not only fits your goals but also champions your strengths while building up growth in other areas.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders
For many, addiction can be intimately tied to mental health disorders, with alcohol and drug detox being just part of the journey to change. Exploring how underlying mental health disorders affect substance use is crucial to creating effective coping strategies.
Addressing these challenges in tandem is necessary. Treating addiction without addressing the underlying mental health needs can lead a person to be at an increased risk of relapse, and without effective strategies for mental and emotional wellness. Likewise, addressing mental health needs like depression and anxiety without addressing the role that drugs or alcohol play in these feelings can make healing difficult, stunting even those dedicated to exploring mental wellness.
Addressing the Underlying Causes of Alcohol Addiction
Lastly, we understand that alcohol addiction can be the result of a variety of different challenges, from mental health disorders to trauma, stress, and much more. We work with you to not just address the effects of alcohol addiction, but also the underlying factors that led to addiction that make up the root of the challenges you face for holistic, transformative change.

Beyond Detox: Continuing Your Recovery Journey
Detoxification is not the end of your healing, but rather the beginning of a journey of holistic transformation. Effective recovery is more than just stopping the use of alcohol. It is exploring new lifestyles, beliefs, and perspectives that create a truly transformed and sustainable sober life, and we are available to help you navigate detox and transition to healing opportunities beyond this first important step.
Establishing a sober life after detox also doesn’t mean that the journey is over. New challenges can arise at any point, and new opportunities with them. Recovery is a continued exercise in change, with ongoing recovery always coming with change.
Transitioning From Detox to Residential Treatment or Inpatient Rehab
Detox, residential treatment, outpatient care, and more are all part of the entire healing process. Committing to the entire continuum of care is crucial for gaining the skills necessary for maintaining sobriety.
However, moving between these levels of care comes with new challenges, new responsibilities, and more, and each person will still be held accountable for their continued success in healing. Thrive Treatment offers support as you navigate these changes, empowering you to maintain your sober life and update your goals and skills throughout each stage of healing and beyond.
Group Therapy, Behavioral Health Services, and Wellness Activities
Healing is also about much more than just detox. Rather, it is about exploring lifestyles and communities that facilitate your sober goals. Thrive Treatment offers effective group therapy at all levels of care, along with comprehensive behavioral health services to help you explore how your actions and routines can construct the foundation of a healthy, sober, and fulfilling life.
We also utilize a blend of evidence-based treatment with experiential and holistic healing opportunities and wellness activities to help you find new ways of approaching daily life in sobriety. Change can be intimidating, and the unknown can be a major barrier to treatment. However, we work with you to fill the absence of alcohol in your life with constructive and fulfilling outlets, activities, hobbies, and a community that champions your hard work and change.
Aftercare, Sober Living, and Ongoing Support for Long-Term Recovery
Your journey does not end when you graduate from a successful alcohol detox program in Los Angeles. We support your continued healing and sobriety as an alumnus, from aftercare opportunities to working closely with The Last House, a sober living facility dedicated to ongoing sobriety and wellness, where you can establish a healthy life alongside accepting and sober peers.
