With our program, there is no need to be concerned about pain or discomfort during detox. Our physician supervised staff of highly trained registered nurses closely monitor every patient during alcohol detox. Furthermore, as every individual has his or her own different needs, we provide a "client specific" treatment plan, which means we will tailor our program for you or a loved one, and let you recover at your own pace.
At the Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia, Inc. in Savannah, our detox program includes the revolutionary drug Naltrexone (Revia). Naltrexone blocks the euphoric feeling that alcohol and opiates cause in the brain. Therefore, the need to use them subsides. In fact, most of our programs' participants report a sense of calm within one hour of taking their first tablet. In only 9 to 12 months, most people are able to stop taking Naltrexone without any cravings. And, without any cravings, relapse is far less likely to happen. While most traditional treatment programs demonstrate a success rate of only 10-12%, this revolutionary new treatment proves to be 50-80% successful!
My experience with Naltrexone has been nothing short of a miracle. I am so very thankful for this drug and for those at Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia who have helped me begin my new sober life. For the past 16 years I have struggled with alcoholism. Having tried everything without long term success, I was at wits end.No matter how hard I tried to quit drinking, there was always a constant need for alcohol. Some might call it a craving, but for me it was more like a need. A constant, never-ending voice in my head. No matter what was going on, no matter how happy I was, there was always this part of my brain demanding alcohol. Naltrexone has taken this voice away! For the first time for as long as I can remember, there is silence -no more need for alcohol. This drug is such an important tool for any alcoholic.
