For a person who is partying too much and needs to cut down, the idea of detoxing is probably more about a change in behavior than anything else. Sure, coming back from a nasty hangover isn’t pleasant, but it only takes a few painful mornings for most people to begin to moderate their drinking.
When partying and compulsively drinking becomes an everyday activity, they should seek professional help. Alcohol use is so every day in American culture that it is often difficult to tell when drinking crosses the line into alcohol abuse. When a person’s drinking escalates to the point where it causes them harm and negatively affects their life, it is diagnosed as Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).
It is difficult to discern precisely when a person becomes an alcoholic. Alcohol affects each person differently, and a person’s relationship with alcohol is often more telling than the amount they drink. However, there are some common warning signs that a person may have developed Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).
Here’s where the risks come in. When a person stops drinking alcohol suddenly, they just up and quit because they think it’s time to do so, and it’s easy to do. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple, and the consequences can be deadly. Sudden alcohol cessation can cause hallucinations, convulsions, and even heart seizures that may result in death.
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) isn’t something to take lightly and is an excellent reason not to detox from alcohol at home. Anyone with a severe dependency on alcohol should never consider going “cold turkey” at home. Our drug and alcohol detox facility in Orange County, California, is known for offering innovative solutions to alcohol addiction that heal the body and the mind. Vitamin infusion, proper health, and nutrition schedules help guide the mind and body to excellent health.
Everybody has their journey when it comes to recovery. There is no definite timeline for when you should start feeling withdrawal symptoms to become completely sober. However, alcohol detox is a two-phase process, so here are few things you can expect.
The first phase occurs over a short period of a few days. During this initial period, the person undergoing detox could experience problems, some of which could be fatal without professional medical intervention.
The second and longer phase of alcohol detox occurs over months, as the brain slowly begins to regulate and resume normal functioning. There may be lingering symptoms during the second phase of alcohol detox, but they are not usually life-threatening.
The extent of the severity and occurrence of symptoms will vary depending on the individual’s history of abuse and individual physical condition, including any exacerbating co-existing medical or psychological disorder. However, detox’s risks for all serious abusers of alcohol are potentially severe enough that alcohol detox should never be attempted alone.
Over the course of several months of abstinence, long-term withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, cravings, and anxiety will gradually reduce in intensity. They may be eased somewhat by medications such as acamprosate and naltrexone, but only continued sobriety and the passage of time will end the long-term detox. The medical staff at our Orange County Detox center will determine your need for medications and prescribe accordingly.
Of course, detox is only the first step in overcoming alcohol dependence. A person in recovery needs a clear head to begin learning how to live a life of sobriety. After professionally monitored alcohol detox, the individual is ready to embark on long-term recovery.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
