Withdrawal from drugs or alcohol is an uncomfortable and distressing process that can prevent someone from seeking professional help for addiction. Tower Behavioral Health is an inpatient treatment center in Reading, Pennsylvania, that offers many services for adults who are struggling with addictions to drugs or alcohol. One of these services is detoxification (detox), which is designed to help people safely rid their bodies of substances. Detox can lessen the symptoms of withdrawal while also offering patients the support they need as they start the therapeutic process. Patients who participate in the detox program at our treatment center get round-the-clock support from an experienced team that specializes in treating people who are battling addictions. These experts create an individualized treatment plan based on a person’s needs and goals, and they work closely with each patient as they transition through detox and to the next level of care. We want to help people stop using substances with minimal discomfort while teaching them the skills necessary for lasting recovery.

Alcohol Use Treatment Centers

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?

There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
