Addiction Recovery Services, an alcohol and drug rehab facility in New Hampshire, is helping those managing an alcohol use disorder understand how much time they might need to dedicate toward a rehab program and what to expect once they sign up.
According to the resource shared by the New Hampshire-based drug and alcohol rehab services provider, 18% of the state’s adults admit to excessive drinking. Though it is on par with the national average, the shocking statistic obscures the countless lives that are affected when alcohol misuse takes over, disrupts productive activities, and pulls apart loving relationships. In such cases, family and friends may urge those dealing with alcohol addiction to seek treatment at a rehab center.
Some of the signs that it may be time to seek professional help include abandoning things the person once used to enjoy in order to drink, sacrificing a large portion of the day to drink, needing a lot more alcohol to reach the same effects, finding it difficult, or impossible, to drink less, even when one wants to, finding out that one’s drinking is impacting their relationships or job, experiencing withdrawal side effects when one skips their regular drink, and experiencing alcohol poisoning or blackouts.
“At an inpatient rehab program, which lasts up to one to two months, your health will be continuously monitored by licensed medical professionals who help you through withdrawal symptoms. An inpatient program also keeps you away from the environment that usually triggers your cravings in the first place. Along with medications that help you deal with the aftermath of abruptly quitting alcohol; you will also be guided with a mixture of individual and group therapy sessions,” says the spokesperson for Addiction Recovery Services.
Addiction Recovery Services offers a five-week intensive outpatient program (IOP) consisting of three-hour sessions four days a week including group therapy and education. Patients who have completed an inpatient program can opt to continue treatment at the center’s outpatient program to help them make a successful transition into long-term recovery. Addiction Recovery Services also offers a weekly consultation with a board-certified psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner at no additional cost and regular clinical assessments to ensure the program is living up to its promises.
The spokesperson for Addiction Recovery Services comments on the ideal length of an alcohol rehab program by saying, “Every person’s reasons for going down this path are different. So, naturally, everyone’s path to recovery is also going to be unique and require different needs. Your choice of program will also play a significant role in how long it takes to reach your goals. Moreover, recovery is a long-term process that does not end when you finish the program. When you are thrust back into the familiar situations that have guided your drinking habits all your life, it may trigger a relapse that undoes a lot of the progress that you have made. We recommend continuing consultation with a therapist or going to meetings to keep yourself on track. Remember, recovery is not a race. It’s a life change and we are here to help you succeed.”
Addiction Recovery Services offers IOP and aftercare programs designed to be flexible to meet each patient’s needs. The professionalism of its staff and the compassionate treatment they offer has earned the New Hampshire addiction treatment center a perfect 5.0 out of 5.0 rating on its Google Business Profile. Readers can call or text Addiction Recovery Services at (978) 912-7638 to schedule an admission interview with the intake counselors or get their questions answered.
The Mission of Addiction Recovery Services is to provide accessible and effective group therapy, family education and medication management for addiction and mental health symptoms provided by compassionate licensed professionals.
