Alcohol Addiction Treatment in Georgia
Comprehensive Care for Alcoholism in GA
Alcohol is ubiquitous in society. You are confronted with opportunities to legally purchase it at grocery stores, restaurants, amusement parks, and live events. Even outside commercial venues, alcohol is often a pillar of social functions, with countless opportunities to partake. This prevalence has made it frighteningly easy to become addicted to alcohol without intending to do so. People with alcohol problems often believe they can stop drinking whenever they choose, but the unfortunate reality is that alcohol can be deceptively addictive, which makes quitting “cold turkey” much more challenging than many realize.
At the Georgia Recovery Campus, our alcohol addiction treatment center is designed to help our patients achieve long-term sobriety. With a state-of-the-art, standalone medical detox unit and dual diagnosis, evidence-based treatment programs, our facilities have the staff and resources to get you or your loved one on the road to recovery.
Patients reside in beautiful villas on our stunning campus throughout their stay, enjoying numerous amenities like a yoga studio and a gym that promote health, wellness, and community. By healing the mind, body, and spirit through holistic techniques, we give our patients the strategies needed to meaningfully address both their addictive behaviors and the mental health issues that may be driving them.

Warning Signs of Alcohol Abuse
The same social stigmas that impact the use of other controlled substances do not generally apply to alcohol. Overindulgence is not immediately seen as a problem. In fact, many consider it to be a rite of passage or the sign of a “great night.” Many alcoholics are “functional,” meaning they manage to conceal their addiction by maintaining what appears to be a normal life. Still, certain warning signs can signal that someone may have become concerningly dependent on alcohol.
Someone may be struggling with alcoholism if they:
- Frequently drink alone
- Attempt to drink secretly
- Look for excuses to drink
- Drink first thing in the morning
- Worry about their next drink will come from and where they will get it
- Become irritable and experience mood swings, especially when not drinking
- Makes excuses to justify frequent heavy drinking
- Are frequently hungover
- Become isolated from family and friends
- Are arrested for DUI
Common Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms
Alcohol withdrawal refers to the set of symptoms that occur when someone who has been consistently drinking heavily suddenly stops or significantly reduces their alcohol intake. It typically happens in individuals with alcohol use disorder, but it can also affect those who have been drinking heavily for an extended period.
Common symptoms of alcohol withdrawal can range from mild to severe and may include:
- Anxiety: Restlessness, nervousness, or feeling on edge.
- Tremors: Shaking, especially in the hands.
- Nausea and vomiting: Feeling queasy or throwing up.
- Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep.
- Sweating: Excessive sweating, even when not physically active.
- Rapid heartbeat: Palpitations or an increased heart rate.
- Irritability: Easily getting upset or agitated.
- Confusion: Difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly.
- Hallucinations: Seeing, hearing, or feeling things that aren't there.
- Seizures: In severe cases, seizures may occur.
From our updated facilities to themed residential villas, every detail matters.

Is It Safe to Quit Alcohol “Cold Turkey?”
When someone truly only drinks in moderation, they can likely stop consuming alcohol without experiencing any significant withdrawal symptoms. When someone struggling with alcoholism attempts to quit, however, they are likely to suffer the symptoms associated with alcohol withdrawal syndrome, which can be fatal in the most serious cases.
Quitting cold turkey also involves facing strong cravings and temptations due to the body's physical dependence on alcohol, making it difficult for people to maintain abstinence in the long run.
Furthermore, a sudden stop to drinking can be especially challenging for those who have been dealing with severe alcoholism for a long period of time: Their bodies may be so used to the presence of alcohol that quitting suddenly could trigger very severe withdrawal symptoms.
To avoid the worst consequences of withdrawal, you must seek professional help when you or a loved one is looking to stop drinking alcohol. You or your loved one will receive professional support from our seasoned team who can help you get sober safely and effectively.
