Assessment
An assessment helps us fully understand the extent of your addiction and customize your treatment. During this crucial process, our clinical staff evaluates your history of alcohol abuse, checks for alcohol concentrations in your blood, and screens for any physical or underlying mental issues that may impact withdrawal and treatment. Once we’ve performed an in-depth assessment, we can create the most effective, evidence-based alcohol treatment plan for you to achieve long-term success.
Detox
Your withdrawal symptoms will be the most intense about 72 hours after detox begins. Symptoms range in severity and can start as soon as 2 hours from the time of your last drink and last for weeks. You need to receive proper medical care during withdrawal and detox, and Tranquil Shores can provide it.
Therapy
Taking advantage of therapy in our peaceful environment can help you recover and reclaim your life. Tranquil Shores’ personalized, therapy-driven rehabilitation programs give you the tools you need to live a sober life.

During aftercare, we guide you in your transition from our facility back to your life at home. You’ll learn how to maintain your sobriety and successfully connect with support groups in your area.
Our Alcohol Treatment Programs
Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Tranquil Shores provides a wide range of evidence-based alcohol addiction treatment programs and personalized recovery planning to support clients at each stage of care. Some clients may need medical detox before beginning a structured treatment program, so it’s important to understand what the process can involve.
Medical Detox Timeline Before Treatment
Alcohol addiction recovery may begin with detox when a client needs medical support to stop drinking safely. A supervised medical detox approach prioritizes your well-being with oversight and compassionate care throughout the alcohol withdrawal process:
- Initial symptoms: Mild discomfort may begin 6-12 hours after the last alcoholic drink, potentially including anxiety, tremors, headaches or stomach upset.
- Peak symptoms: Symptoms may intensify between 24-72 hours after the last drink, potentially involving increased heart rate, hallucinations and seizures.
Withdrawal symptoms typically subside within about five days, though some people may experience prolonged symptoms. After detox, clients can transition into an alcohol addiction treatment program that addresses the emotional, behavioral and mental health factors that contribute to alcohol misuse. Tranquil Shores supports clients through personalized recovery planning, evidence-based therapies and dual diagnosis care when co-occurring mental health conditions are present.
Residential Treatment
Located in Madeira Beach, Tranquil Shores’ Florida-based center offers various activities that encourage engagement, reflection and healing. Clients participate in structured therapy sessions, holistic support and individualized care. Our residential program typically lasts 90 days, providing you with a therapeutic and calm environment to focus fully on recovery.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our partial hospitalization program is an intensive step-down option for clients who need high-level structure during the day, including therapeutic sessions and medical oversight. PHP allows you to return home at night, bridging the gap between residential care and independent living.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The intensive outpatient program offers flexibility for clients balancing recovery with work or family responsibilities. With scheduled individual and group therapy sessions, our IOP allows you to integrate treatment into your daily life while maintaining accountability and progress.
Importance of Long-Term Treatment Planning
Long-term treatment planning can help clients build continued support after initial treatment, and research suggests that longer-duration continuing care with active engagement may improve recovery outcomes.
At Tranquil Shores, we emphasize long-term alcohol addiction treatment planning to help clients build resilience and a strong foundation for long-term recovery. With longer-term care, you gain more tools and strategies to support sobriety in everyday life.
Treating Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
The journey to recovery can involve navigating other mental health conditions. Tranquil Shores uses a comprehensive approach to address these conditions simultaneously, supporting your overall well-being and recovery.
Our integrated dual diagnosis treatment combines psychiatric evaluations and therapeutic interventions to treat alcohol addiction and mental health conditions in one cohesive plan.
Mental health conditions we treat alongside addiction include:
- PTSD and trauma-related disorders.
