I'm Nervous About Detoxing from Alcohol: What Can I Expect?

Making the decision to stop drinking alcohol can feel overwhelming, especially if you aren’t sure what to expect during detox. 

At Klarity Clinic, we specialize in physician-guided detox programs for alcohol use disorder using infusions of ketamine and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Detox is an essential part of recovery and is effective at reducing your cravings for alcohol, so you can focus on your recovery.

Our Las Vegas, Nevada, and Upland, California, offices offer detox sessions on an outpatient basis to help you achieve and maintain lifelong sobriety. Our goal is to make your detox a comfortable, positive experience, so you feel your best and can move forward in life. 

How detox supports sobriety

Drinking alcohol frequently or in excessive amounts causes physical changes in your body. When you attempt alcohol cessation on your own, withdrawal symptoms can be triggered. Those may include:

In some cases, alcohol withdrawal can cause life-threatening symptoms like hallucinations, delirium, and seizures. The discomfort of withdrawal symptoms is often what makes people go back to drinking again. 

Detoxing from alcohol under medical supervision helps reduce the severity of your symptoms, so you aren’t inclined to start drinking again.

Signs of alcohol use disorder

Alcohol use disorder involves a pattern of alcohol consumption, despite any negative consequences it may have on your life. The more alcohol you drink, the more you need to drink to achieve the same effect.

Warning signs of alcohol use disorder can include:

Are you or a loved one experiencing symptoms of alcohol use disorder but you don’t know where to seek help? Call us at one of our Klarity Clinic offices to inquire about a detox consultation. We offer a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to detox from alcohol without feeling overwhelmed by fear or anxieties. 

Our providers review your current health and medical history to determine if you’re a candidate for ketamine and NAD+ infusions as part of a detox program. We also discuss your options for your long-term recovery through a sobriety maintenance program.

The detox benefits of ketamine and NAD+

Ketamine is a medication that creates new neural pathways in your brain to heal the damage alcohol causes. This helps rewire your brain for healthier habits and can also lessen the memories you have of excessive drinking, so you can overcome psychological triggers.

NAD+ works in conjunction with ketamine to support the detoxification process. Our BR+NAD™ infusions work at a cellular level to reduce oxidative stress.

Because of the power of detox infusions, you have a better chance of maintaining your sobriety and preventing relapses. Our team also provides customized sobriety maintenance programs to support you on your journey to a healthier, happier life.
