The Four Steps of the Alcohol Rehab Process
According to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, roughly 14.1 million adults over age 18 struggle with alcohol addiction, and each addiction can tell a different story. During rehabilitation at Tranquil Shores, your treatment is personalized to meet your specific needs and help you reclaim your life.
Recovering from alcohol addiction takes time and patience. Our evidence-based alcohol treatment plans follow these 4 steps:
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. Our highly effective treatments 6 six hours of group therapy a day and 2 individual sessions per week, as well as family sessions.
Aftercare
For many who struggle from alcohol addiction, relapse is a part of recovery. Aftercare, however, can help you work through obstacles as they arise and overcome temporary setbacks. 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.

Types of Treatments Used in Our Alcohol Rehabilitation Program
Treatments at Tranquil Shores focus on the root of your alcohol addiction and give you the skills you need to live a happy and sober life. In addition to medical therapy, you will undergo behavioral therapy in both individual and group settings with a licensed therapist.
The goal of behavioral therapy is to change the behavior that causes your addiction. During therapy at our Florida alcohol treatment center, you’ll learn the behavioral skills necessary to stop or reduce drinking, develop a strong social support system, and attain reachable goals.
At Tranquil Shores, our behavioral therapy sessions are personalized, comprehensive, and evidence-based. We incorporate your learning styles and talents into your individual and group sessions. Tranquil Shores offers different types of behavioral therapy for alcohol recovery depending on your needs.
Therapy sessions may include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT identifies your triggers for abuse and gives you coping skills to avoid or reduce drinking alcohol. This process helps to manage your stress and prevent relapse.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy
If you are ambivalent about engaging in alcohol treatment, this type of behavioral therapy will help motivate you quickly and intrinsically to engage in the recovery process.
Spousal and Family Counseling
Family members not only feel the effects of alcoholism but are also key to your recovery. We educate spouses and family members on how to support you the right way. At times, family members may enable you or cover up the effects of abuse. Our highly trained staff helps your family understand that denial only creates a stronger addiction and that you need to see the consequences of your abuse.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
While ART pulls from other types of behavioral therapy, the focus is on the client’s eye movements, and the process doesn’t involve a lot of talking. We use this relatively new yet effective method to help clients work through trauma and unresolved issues.
Holistic and Integrated Treatment at Our Rehab in Tampa Bay
We support treatment with the Integrated Recovery Model, which is a philosophy that focuses on all the different pieces of you — physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. We cater to your complete well-being using a holistic approach. Understanding the mind-body connection is key to recovery. When the body suffers, so does the mind, and vice-versa. Restoring both our mind and body is essential for a happy life.
As part of our holistic treatment, we incorporate healing experiences for clients by adding a variety of therapeutic themes over a 13-week period. Some of these healing experiences include:
Didactic Therapy
Many types of therapy can be emotional. The didactic process takes a break from that intensity with low-key, instructional therapy that can effectively help clients avoid relapse.
Experiential Therapy
Sometimes talking about alcohol abuse in therapy can be difficult and ineffective, as feelings may be buried, and memories lost. Experiential therapy can help you unearth and process those feelings, evoking the necessary changes that promote long-term recovery from alcohol addiction.
Gender-Specific Therapy
Men and women experience both addiction and recovery differently. At Tranquil Shores, we realize that gender-specific counseling can provide a more comfortable environment to discuss common experiences.
Alternative Healing Therapy
At our Florida alcohol rehab center, we use alternative healing methods including acupuncture, meditation, massage, yoga, qigong, and drum therapy to promote mental, spiritual, and physical wellness. These holistic programs help to enrich your body, mind, and soul.

Binge Drinking Facts
Binge drinking is a pattern of excessive drinking that comes with serious risks. You do not need to be dependent on alcohol to binge drink, but binge drinking can lead to alcohol addiction.
The CDC reports that about 1 in 6 American adults binge drinks an average of once a week, meaning U.S. binge drinkers consume about 17 billion drinks per week. The amount of drinks per binge is about 7, and binge drinking is most often seen in adults between 18 and 34 years of age. Nevertheless, adults ages 35 and up are more likely to drink more per binge drinking experience, and men are twice as likely to binge drink than women. Binge drinking leads to roughly 2,200 alcohol poisoning deaths each year.
Most people who binge drink do so frequently. In fact, about 90% of Americans in the United States who binge drink report having done so in the past month. This pattern of behavior is linked with serious risks, including:
- Violence
- Unintentional injuries
- Accidents
- Cardiovascular disease
- Hypertension
- STIs
- Unintended pregnancies
- Poor pregnancy outcomes
- Some cancers
- Alcohol dependence

Your personalized treatment program will include any special services you may need to overcome your situation.
Helping a Loved One With Addiction To Alcohol
If you have a loved one who is struggling with alcohol addiction, you are probably struggling, too. Alcohol addiction can be overwhelming, and you need to take care of yourself by getting the support you need while your loved one pursues assistance.
Alcohol addiction affects the entire family. Though admitting there’s a problem may be difficult, you can’t ignore it. The problem won’t go away on its own and could get worse. While you can’t force someone to stop drinking, you can help them get the support they need.
At Tranquil Shores’ alcohol rehab center in Tampa Bay, we assess the individual traits and needs of each client and build a personalized plan for recovery. We get to the root of addiction by focusing on the whole person and providing the necessary skills for achieving long-term sobriety.

Aftercare is an important part of addiction recovery, even though it takes place after you leave Tranquil Shores. We begin to integrate aftercare strategies while you are still in our comfortable environment to help ensure a smooth transition from rehab back to your home life.
The aftercare process helps to prevent relapse. During your transition from Tranquil Shores to life at home, we provide you with the support and skills required to cope with triggers and stressful situations as they arise. Like the rest of your recovery, aftercare is tailored to your specific needs.
You will learn how to maintain your sobriety outside of Tranquil Shores, and we’ll even help you connect with groups or counselors in your own community. We also offer family programs to incorporate your loved ones into your recovery program. Your loved ones can become a vital part of your aftercare and provide ongoing support for your lasting recovery. We also offer free group therapy to our alumni.
