Landmark Recovery of Columbia

Medication-assisted treatment program is particularly important for a person withdrawing from alcohol. If you stop alcohol abruptly after prolonged bouts of heavy drinking you could die.

The central nervous system responds to the sudden lack of alcohol by sending it into a state of shock. This can cause uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms like sweating, nausea, shaking, panic attacks, anxiety, depression and more.

At Landmark Recovery in Columbia, South Carolina, medical staff will prescribe medication such as benzodiazepines that will calm the central nervous system, easing your withdrawal symptoms.

South Carolina has the 36th highest rates of deaths by alcohol in the US. It’s not the highest by any means but it’s still high enough. The more people who can get on a treatment program for alcohol use disorder the better the health of the state as a whole will be.

With the excellent follow-up care from Landmark Recovery and peer support from 12-step programs, you’ll have an excellent chance of staying free from alcohol.
