Understanding Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in Pennsylvania

Alcoholism is a serious public health issue leading to approximately 88,000 deaths annually in the U.S., as reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Distinguishing between moderate social drinking and harmful consumption that can escalate into a potentially fatal addiction is crucial. In Pennsylvania, Silvermist is dedicated to treating even the most severe cases of alcoholism with a comprehensive and personalized approach.

Diagnosing Alcohol Use Disorder

AUD is diagnosed when a person meets certain criteria that reflect a harmful pattern of alcohol use. At Silvermist, our specialists use these criteria to assess the severity of an individual’s condition and to tailor treatment plans accordingly. Among other indicators, the diagnosis involves evaluating whether individuals drink more than intended, make unsuccessful attempts to cut down or experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping alcohol use.

Medical Detox for Alcohol Withdrawal in Pennsylvania

Withdrawal from alcohol can range from mild symptoms like nausea and anxiety to severe complications such as delirium tremens (DTs), which can be potentially fatal. Silvermist partners with licensed medical detox providers to ensure that withdrawal is managed safely and effectively, minimizing discomfort and preparing patients for the next step in their recovery journey.

From Detox to Ongoing Treatment

Following a medically supervised detox, clients may transition into Silvermist’s residential treatment program. Residential treatment provides a controlled environment where patients can focus on recovery without external pressures, while outpatient treatment may be suitable for those with milder forms of AUD or extensive support networks.
