Confidential admissions
Start alcohol detox
Tell us when you last drank and how much — admissions will advise on urgency and bed availability.
Medical priority
Why alcohol detox should be medically supervised.
Alcohol affects the central nervous system. When use stops suddenly, the brain can overreact — sometimes within 6–24 hours of the last drink.
Mild anxiety and sweating can escalate to seizures and delirium tremens. Clinical teams use evidence-based medications, fluid support, and continuous monitoring to reduce risk and keep you as comfortable as possible.
This is not a detox to white-knuckle at home if you have a significant drinking history. Calling admissions is the fastest way to understand whether inpatient detox is appropriate today.
Warning signs
When to call now — or 911 first.
- Shaking, sweating, or racing heart within hours of last drink
- Nausea, vomiting, or inability to keep fluids down
- Confusion, agitation, or hallucinations
- History of seizures or delirium tremens (DTs)
- Drinking heavily daily for weeks or months
- Relapse after a period of abstinence
Chest pain, trouble breathing, severe confusion, or seizures — call 911, then contact us for addiction admission guidance.
Our approach
What alcohol detox includes at New Leaf.
Vital signs & symptom checks
Nursing staff track blood pressure, heart rate, hydration, and mental status through peak withdrawal.
Medication protocol
Physician-guided medications can reduce seizure risk and ease agitation when clinically appropriate.
Nutrition & fluids
Many clients arrive dehydrated and depleted — replenishment supports safer recovery.
Sleep support
Insomnia is common; structured rest and clinical support help regulate sleep early in detox.
Residential step-down
After detox, continue into structured inpatient rehab when you need more time away from triggers.
Insurance verification
Many private plans cover medical detox when medically necessary — we verify benefits confidentially.
