California alcohol detox centers are conveniently located throughout the Sunshine State. The sunny, warm climate provides the perfect backdrop for sustainable sober living. Sunshine has been proven to naturally produce serotonin and allows for easy excursions out and about during other phases of recovery.
Get Your Vitamins
Vitamin D can come from the sun, and in Murrieta, California where Solution Based Treatment programs are based, there is no shortage of sunlight. Vitamin D encourages calcium absorption, promoting bone and cell growth. The vitamin also promotes a healthy immune system and metabolism – both of which encourage strong recovery during alcohol detox. The sun is also a natural source of serotonin which acts as a natural antidepressant – making it easier to maintain a sense of joy while detoxing from alcohol.
Alcohol Detox Timeline
Upon arrival at our California alcohol detox center all clients will be evaluated by a medical treatment team. They will assess the current condition and will lay out a treatment plan for the next week or so. The timeline is different for everyone, depending on medical history, genetics, and whether or not there are any co-occurring addictions or mental health conditions.
In general, the alcohol detox process looks like:
- Six hours after the last drink, clients may begin to get mild symptoms of withdrawal. This could include nausea, insomnia, sweating, vomiting, nausea, and anxiety. Occasionally people will not have symptoms beyond these.
- 12 to 48 hours following the last drink, clients may start to notice more acute symptoms. If one drank heavily in the past, they may be at risk of hallucinations or seizures (these symptoms are most common in severe cases and occur within the first two days of stopping alcohol). Going through withdrawal symptoms at the hospital or detoxification clinic will help prevent severe complications and manage symptoms.
- Two to three days after the last drink, there may be a risk of delirium tremens (DT). DT can cause hallucinations, delusions, confusion, a racing heart, high blood pressure, and fever. Developing DT is rare, but when it occurs it can be fatal if not under medical supervision.
In most cases alcohol detox symptoms peak within 72 hours and then lower in intensity after that. Once detox is complete and withdrawal symptoms are completely gone, clients can go into residential rehabilitation where they will have the opportunity to venture out and about with sober living groups to explore and have fun in the sun.
