Most people abuse alcohol to induce euphoric effects. They usually seek this effect when trying to relax from the stressors of life or even when celebrating. Prolonged abuse of alcohol can cause changes to brain chemistry which inevitably leads to addiction. Research shows that women experience the negative effects of alcohol abuse more quickly and intensely than their male counterparts. This is because women’s unique body chemistry interacts with alcohol differently than men meaning the same amounts of alcohol will have a greater impact on women. Because of alcohol’s potential to change brain chemistry, quitting alcohol completely after prolonged use can be dangerous. Alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures amongst other life-endangering effects, so it is recommended to go through a women’s alcohol addiction treatment process in a safe, medically supervised setting.

What to Expect During Alcohol Detox
Alcohol withdrawal and detoxification is a major component to recovery. Most people who try to recover from alcohol withdrawal alone will typically turn back to alcohol to alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal. Having a medically supervised detox like the one we offer to women at Soledad House can safely lessen the dangerous effects of alcohol withdrawal. Once you can overcome the process of alcohol detox, you can begin your journey in recovery. Some symptoms of alcohol withdrawal include:
- Insomnia
- Nausea
- Sweating
- Headaches
- Anxiety
- Disorientation
- Hallucinations
- Seizures
Once they’ve completed detox, patients typically transition into rehab to continue the process of recovery. Women can expect an array of treatment methods along with comprehensive care at Soledad House, located in sunny San Diego.
