It’s vital that you do not overlook the importance of first going through a detox program before beginning your treatment plan. If you are still struggling with active addiction when you first reach out to the Legacy team, we will recommend that you first work through our detox program. Our detox program will ensure that you are in the best place physically and emotionally to truly make the most out of your time at our treatment facility.

Many people with an alcohol addiction may not realize that they can simply stop drinking when they have a long-standing habit. Within a few hours of the last time you consumed your last drink, your body will physically and psychologically begin to react to the lack of alcohol in your system. Withdrawal symptoms vary, but many clients struggle with feeling extremely nauseous, an uptick in their anxiety, and general shakiness. Since you may not be able to take care of yourself during this time, we strongly recommend that you never try to go through the detox process unless you are under the supervision of a trained medical professional.

Understanding the events in your life that may have triggered your addiction is critical when it comes to overcoming your addiction. For example, it’s not uncommon for a client who witnessed or experienced a traumatic event to develop an addiction if they have been unable to process the emotions associated with it. Our team takes the time to truly understand the traumatic experiences in your life so that we can put together a plan that will help you to address them so that you can go on to live a healthier life.

The leading way that we accomplish this goal is by setting you up to participate in various therapy forms. We always encourage our clients to participate in any therapy session actively. For instance, group therapy will help you learn more about the importance of communicating with other people who may have similar experiences.

Keep in mind that when you first reach out to one of our recovery specialists, they will be able to provide you with more details regarding what you can expect as you are beginning to uncover the surface as to the root of your addiction.
