Location of Rapid Detox for Alcohol Center Near Modesto, Ca.?
Question by autumn: Location of rapid detox for alcohol center near Modesto, Ca.?
A couple years ago I ran into some tragedies in my work and personal life. I started drinking alcohol to help me sleep. It worked. I felt great when I wake up and I perform great at work.
However, the amount of alcohol I am drinking has increased to the point where I do not know what to do. Since I only drink in the privacy of my bedroom right before I go to sleep very few people are aware I am drinking.
Now I want to get the alcohol out of my life but I am having problems. I work full time and like the place I am working at. If I were to go cold turkey the side effects would be obvious everyone I work with. I know because I have already tried and get terrible results. To avoid this issue altogether I want to do rapid detox.
However, I am having trouble locating a place that offers rapid detox near Modesto, Ca. I have been looking on the internet but have only found one place about 90 minutes away.
If anyone knows of a place, please, let me know. Thanks.
Thanks for your imput. Your right their is no rapid detox for alcohol. However, I talked to a doctor at

He recommended that I go to one of his facilities for a 3 day detox. He said that I would be given several different medication to help with the withdrawl.

Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no such thing as a “rapid alcohol detox”. there is such a thing for heroin, but alcohol dependence is quite diffferent. If you have withdrawal symtpoms that are mild (tremor only), you could still safely detox yourself. But if after 24 hours you find withdrawal is causing sweats, itchiness and intense craving, you need detox.
Even if you detox yourself, staying off alcohol after detox is the greater challenge for everyone who has done it. For that you need the support and advice of people who have been there. AA is free. And myriad studies show nothing works better than AA.
Now here’s the GREAT part: you have a job and are insured! Its all paid for already and you cant be fired if you go voluntarily into treatment (under CA law). If you lose your job for whatever reason BEFORE you get into treatment, that golden opportunity is missed, and you pay megabucks which you no longer have for treatment. Call your job’s HR department and get information about treatment.

I would suggest you go to a general practitioner, or your own physician if you have one.
MAny people do not realize that stopping drinking can cause seizures. I have witnessed it, very serious condition.
They will give you medication to prevent seizures and ” calm” the side effects of quitting.
Then go to some local Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
You probably need some support getting sober, and those that I have seen with the most success did not neccesarily go thru a treatment at a detox center.
Glad you want to get sober.
