Alcohol Treatment

At PAX Riverbend, we treat alcohol addiction the same way we treat drug addiction. Alcohol is just as addictive and addiction is often caused by the same root issues. However, each individual is different - which is why we assess your needs and tailor a unique alcohol treatment plan for you. Throughout each level of care, from PHP to IOP and aftercare, we'll be there to monitor your progress and provide you with support.

A lot of us felt that way when we first asked for help. In the end, your recovery depends on the effort and willingness that you put into it. That being said, knowing which steps to take aren't easy. That's where professional help comes in. We're here to provide you with therapy, introduce you to recovery, and give you the tools you will need to stay sober. Whether or not you apply these tools for the years to come is up to you. Either way, we'll still be here to help.

Even though alcohol is legal and easy to get, it's actually one of the most harmful substances you can abuse. Chronic drinking often leads to a wide variety of health problems like cirrhosis of the liver, cancer, depression, wet brain, and other conditions. The good news is that most of these conditions heal themselves after a long period of sobriety - so the sooner you get help, the better.

First and foremost, trying to detox at home is never a good idea. Alcohol withdrawal is one of the more dangerous detox processes because it can lead to panic attacks, heart palpitations, delirium, psychosis, seizures, and even death. Instead, you should always seek help from an alcohol detox facility. At PAX Riverbend, our doctors will help you avoid the painful and life-threatening withdrawal symptoms using FDA-approved medications so that your experience is as safe and as comfortable as possible.

Never, under any circumstances, do we advise patients to drink alcohol in any amount or capacity after leaving rehab. In many cases, one drink leads to another and another, and, eventually, you find yourself back in the vicious cycle of alcohol addiction that you had worked so hard to break free from. Sure, the thought of never drinking again is overwhelming - but we'll teach you how to deal with these thoughts so you can find peace with your sobriety.

Our alcohol rehab in Jeffersonville, Indiana provides evidence-based therapies in both group and individual settings. In addition to intensive therapy, we also encourage our patients to participate in a 12-step recovery fellowship, such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), after completing treatment with us.
