Question by : Please help me find a free/low cost alcohol detox center in southeast PA?
is there anyone that can help me find a free or very low cost inpatient alcohol detox clinic in southeast Pennsylvania preferably between Philly and Allentown area for someone who has no insurance and little money?
This is for 2 family members. One is disabled and their health is suffering greatly from this addiction and is in the hospital currently (some issues cause by liver disease), my other family members was recently laid off due to the company they worked for closing and their health is not as bad but their addiction does not help stop the other one because they live together. So when the one gets home from the hospital after going through with drawl (they treat with adavan) they go right back to drinking because the other one did not have treatment. They had agreed to go to detox but while we were working on setting them up at a detox clinic the job loss happened and they cut off their insurance.

If anyone can help me find a clinic it’d be greatly appreciated. I need to find one asap before i lose them. And please only relevant and serious answers because im looking for help on finding a clinic and not to be lectured. I’m almost 26 and they’ve been drinking way longer than that so i’m proud that they finally made the choice and are willing to get help.
thank you both for the tips.
JoGusto- they are my parents and it is incredibly draining on me and my siblings. The ill parent beat cancer and leukemia (from result of radiation with cancer) and it kills us watching them suffer and I have days where i feel like im losing my mind. It’s hard to comprehend how one beats cancer but is killing himself by drinking. I know that if he made it through that, he can overcome this too. For myself I’m considering attending some of those AA meetings for family members of alcoholics. Thank you again

Alcohol detox can be considered an unpleasant but necessary aspect of getting off alcohol and fighting alcoholism. There are usually symptoms of alcohol detox but the range of symptoms are different depending on the person and on how much alcohol they usually drink. Heavy drinkers usually have more severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms than those who did not drink as much alcohol but were still regular, addicted drinkers. Some lucky people do not get symptoms of alcohol detox at all.

You can’t predict what can happen to you when you detox from alcohol so you need to plan for every possibility. You need to have someone with you and you shouldn’t go through it alone. Expect for the process to last up to 72 hours but it can be shorter than that. Any time you have been drinking regularly for years, you can expect to have some symptoms of withdrawl. Talk to your doctor before undergoing detoxification to see whether this can be done at home, whether you can have medications to take for the process and whether there are any health risks involved in alcohol detoxification in your case.

The recent rash of celebrity drunk driving arrests has brought international attention to the problems of alcohol abuse among the rich and famous. And it’s created a new celebrity of sorts, a high-tech booze-sniffing ankle bracelet called SCRAM – meaning Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor – most recently attached to the well-turned ankle of movie star Lindsay Lohan. The actress volunteered to wear the alcohol monitor temporarily while awaiting a court hearing after spending 45 days in successful alcohol detox program and rehab.

SCRAM cannot be removed or cheated, according to its maker, Alcohol Monitoring Systems of Denver, CO. The bracelet samples an individual’s perspiration every hour and checks for alcohol consumption, using the same technology as the famed “Breathalyzer”. While SCRAM is usually used to monitor repeat, high-risk driving-under-the-influence (DUI) offenders, the system is also proving useful in managing domestic violence offenders and as a tool in family courts, says the company. It has also been helpful in tracking recovering alcoholics in various successful alcohol detox program and rehab settings.

Alcohol rehab – Information and ResourcesAlcohol rehab, or Alcohol rehab for short, is a place where people addicted to alcohol can go to get treatment for their addictions and gain the knowledge and tools to live a productive and alcohol-free life.  Alcohol rehab is not just a destination, but a long journey.  Once alcoholism has taken hold, it’s permanent and it takes a lifetime of abstinence and sobriety to maintain a healthy life.  There is no cure for alcoholism as of yet, but there is treatment and it is that treatment, or rehabilitation that saves thousands of lives every year.  Alcoholism is a progressive disease that causes physical and psychological addiction.
