Specialized Alcohol Treatment and Aftercare at Clean Recovery
Clean Recovery is one of the largest and most established addiction treatment centers in Florida. For ten years, we have been providing treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD), substance use disorder (SUD), and dual diagnosis for our community across the Suncoast area.
We focus primarily on our clients’ recovery journey, guided by our proven 3-phase treatment approach: Preparation, Action, and Maintenance. This approach is ingrained in a full continuum of care that focuses on providing our clients with the education and tools to support lasting recovery.
For many,(AUD) may have started as social or casual drinking; something done in small amounts or inconsistent bursts. However, no matter what the intake of alcohol may be, any amount can lead to dependence and addiction. Alcohol addiction can distort perception and increase tolerance, meaning that clients can quickly lose track of how much alcohol they’ve had. Across Florida, 12.9% of 18-year-olds reported blacking out after drinking alcohol in 2023.
Over time, these patterns can become more frequent, causing long-term neurological issues like heart disease or dementia. Recognizing these patterns and seeking support can improve short-term and long-term health and begin the path towards recovery.
What We Treat: Alcohol Addiction
Those who are living with alcohol use disorder never expect to grow dependent on alcohol. Occasional drinking can develop quickly into more consistent drinking; clients may have used alcohol as a way of distancing themselves from anxiety or stress, or a way to relax. Soon after starting, however, they may feel the effects of their alcohol consumption in their personal, social, and professional lives.
Those with AUD may feel the need to increase alcohol intake, as their tolerance grows and they are unable to feel the same effects they used to feel when drinking alcohol. They may find themselves drinking more often or hiding alcohol in discreet locations to drink later.
Additional signs of AUD are:
- Feeling extreme cravings when not drinking
- Being unable to limit or stop the consumption of alcohol
- Giving up hobbies and failing to fulfill obligations to drink alcohol
- Feeling withdrawal symptoms when not drinking
Drinking an excess amount of alcohol at any time can lead to both short-term and long-term health complications. Short-term complications can involve injuries and blackouts, while long-term effects can include cancer, liver disease, and heart disease.

How to Know if Alcohol Treatment Is Right for You
Our clients may find it challenging to stop drinking, as even a little hesitation can bring on aggressive and hard-to-manage symptoms of withdrawal. They may also find themselves drinking more alcohol than usual, and may find that they are taking in alcohol more often than they would like. Any time is the right time to get treatment for (AUD). Alcohol dependence can happen suddenly, and it can be overwhelming to address or stop. But there is always hope–It’s never too late to begin treatment, and Clean is there every step of the way.
Some signs that treatment is needed:
- Excessive and heavy drinking
- Misusing alcohol for an extended period of time
- Disconnect from social and professional situations
If anyone has experienced any or all of these signs, our alcohol treatment program is the right first step for their recovery journey.
Regain Control: What to Expect in Our Alcohol Treatment Program
Alcohol Detoxification
It is difficult to stop alcohol use alone. Quitting suddenly can cause severe withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, seizures, and hallucinations. Withdrawal is uncomfortable and usually starts within six hours after stopping the use of alcohol. It can take up to three days on average to expel the substance from the body. At Clean Recovery, you are never alone during this process.
Treatment for AUD at Clean starts with a medical detox, where trauma-certified therapists and a medical care team monitor withdrawal symptoms around the clock to ensure our client is comfortable through the whole detoxification process. Clinical support is always provided, and symptoms are regularly evaluated. Detox ensures that cravings are managed and the system is free from alcohol before the next stage of our action phase.
Residential or Inpatient Rehab Services
Following detox, our clients will continue into one of our two treatment tracks: the mental health treatment track and the substance use treatment track. Our clients’ path into these tracks depends on whether we discover an underlying mental health issue that has led to their addiction. During both of these tracks, our clients will continue theirjourney in our residential facility, where they will receive comfortable housing, nutritious meals, and all of the necessities needed to focus entirely on their recovery.
If our client has a co-occurring mental health issue that has led to their addiction, we will place them into our mental health track, which continues through an inpatient residential program. This program lasts typically 3 to 4 weeks, and our healthcare providers will be available 24/7 to offer care for any mental health concerns.
Our mental health treatment track focuses on four key areas during care:
- Trauma therapy resolution
- Identity reconstruction therapy
- Cognitive self-management techniques
- Personal growth development strategies
After residential stay, we offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP), which is a structured mental health and substance addiction treatment where clients participate in the same therapy and programs they had during inpatient treatment, but with the freedom to go home after treatment has finished for the day.
Outpatient Alcohol Rehab
Depending on whether our client’s addiction stemmed from or caused a co-existing mental health issue, they will be placed in different treatment tracks. Clean Recovery’s outpatient treatment is separated between mental health treatment and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. These outpatients differ from regular outpatient (OP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) as well.
Intensive outpatient programs for both tracks offer clients at least nine hours of sessions a week. These programs are just as effective as residential treatment programs, as they offer both individual and group therapy sessions and possible housing options. These sessions will start at five days a week and gradually decrease as our clients’ recovery progress continues.
Outpatient programs for both the mental health and SUD tracks aim to support our clients through Individual therapy sessions, group therapy sessions, and their willingness to continue their recovery journey. A large part of our outpatient programs is to help our clients build a strong foundation to continue their real-life responsibilities and incorporate the recovery tools they’ve learned into their daily lives. We help clients with money and time management, career guidance, and effective communication skills. Each client will be paired with a caseworker who supports them in transitioning from their outpatient program to real life and helps them find housing once their treatment is complete.
Who Leads Our Program?
During their treatment program, clients will be cared for by a team of trauma -certified therapists and an attentive and supportive medical staff, many of whom are in recovery themselves. Our staff monitors and manages our clients’ detox progress and is thoroughly involved in the rest of their treatment programs. We are available around the clock to ensure treatment and recovery proceed as smoothly as possible.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Addiction doesn’t exist in isolation. Trauma, environmental stress, and mental health issues can be attributed to alcohol use and substance use disorders. Living with addiction can bring about mental health issues as well, leading to a cycle that can be hard to break if not treated with supportive care from medical professionals. Living with both mental health issues and addiction can be overwhelming, and should be treated simultaneously to decrease the chance of returning to use and promote lasting stability in the recovery process.
At Clean Recovery, we provide dual-diagnosis treatment options for clients with co-occurring concerns. During the admission process into Clean Recovery, clients will be fully evaluated by therapists to determine if mental health treatment is needed during their stay. If it is determined that our client does have a co-occurring mental health issue, they will continue down the mental health treatment track to resolve these concerns while receiving addiction treatment.
The mental health issues that can usually accompany addiction are:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- PTSD
- Bipolar disorder
The key to treating co-occurring issues is understanding. At Clean Recovery, our experienced licensed therapists will help our clients understand what may be the root of their alcohol use disorder and offer education and support about co-occurring disorders throughout treatment. Our mental health treatment track starts after detox and continues into aftercare.
