We’re grateful they’re grateful.
If you are looking for a place to really try to change your life, Muse is a great place! The staff were all so in tune with what I was going through. If I ever had a problem, or was feeling like using, I could go to them and they'd talk to me. It didn’t matter what time of the day or night it was. I had never had people who cared about me so much that weren’t family. I still stay in touch with people I went through the house with, we go to meetings and go surfing and other things I never did when I was loaded. It’s a great life, and I really never thought I would be so happy.
I’ve been through 5 other detox programs and was pretty sure none of them would ever work. I decided to give it one more try before just resigning to being a junky the rest of my life. I found Muse and I have to say I am pretty surprised. I have over 8 months clean and it’s more time than I’ve had the last 11 years. All the groups were great, and the neuro-feedback was something I haven’t seen anywhere else. I still see my therapist and I am so happy. I am very grateful to Muse!
I never wanted to go to treatment. I always thought I could quit on my own. I tried myself dozens of times but always went back. I could stay quit for a day or two but never more. I didn’t know what to do. I thought I would die and never thought I could live without my drug. When I finally realized that I needed some help I was terrified. The staff at Muse really knew what I was going through. They had been through it themselves and showed me the way. I have never been sober this long in my life, and if I keep doing what I’m doing, what they taught me, I think I’ll stay sober.
I stayed at Muse Sober Living for two months. When I arrived I was very emotionally and spiritually sick. My drug and alcohol dependence nearly took my life on several occasions. The structure of being surrounded by others in recovery, having chores, going to meetings and never knowing when I would get tested helped me to stay sober long enough to let the program work me. Today I am grateful to say I am clean and sober for just under a year now. My life today, inside and out, is 180 degrees away in the right direction.

With repeated, heavy alcohol use, an addiction can form relatively quickly. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, as many as 14.1 million Americans were dealing with alcohol use disorder (alcoholism) in 2019. Alcohol abuse can be destructive to both your health and wellbeing and the wellbeing of those who care about you.
Alcohol use disorder is a treatable mental disease if you find effective professional help. One of the hardest parts of giving up drinking is the intense and often dangerous withdrawal symptoms that happen shortly after you stop drinking. Not only is it dangerous to try and stop drinking alone, but quitting drinking alone can make it difficult to follow through as the symptoms become overwhelming.
Muse has a top-rated alcohol detox program in Los Angeles that can assist you through the transition that you face when you in your recovery from alcohol abuse and dependence. We can help get you through alcohol detox with reduced symptoms thanks to the medications that are licensed to provide and more importantly, safely due to the medical monitoring that our healthcare professionals provide.
Oftentimes, there are underlying causes that led to alcohol dependence. It may be that there are co-occurring mental disorders present and alcohol use helps to self-medicate the untreated mental disorder, or there may be other problems stemming from your past such as mental or physical abuse that led to the abuse of alcohol. Alcohol detox is just the start of the process of long-term recovery. Once you’ve completed your detox, then our inpatient and outpatient programs can help you to stay sober by addressing the underlying issues that may be present.
To understand what alcohol detox is like, we will explore why alcohol withdrawal occurs. Frequent heavy drinking causes your body to undergo changes. What essentially happens is that your body adjusts to the constant presence of alcohol. That’s why if you continue to drink heavy amounts of alcohol frequently, you become tolerant to it and you need to drink more to get the same effect.
Once your body has become used to alcohol being present, it starts to need alcohol to continue to function in this adjusted state. Suddenly stopping results in your body experiencing withdrawal symptoms simply because it is now reliant on alcohol being consumed frequently. Alcohol specifically stimulates GABA receptors. The effects on the GABA receptors are what causes you to feel relaxed when you drink. However, the balance between GABA and glutamate – which essentially has the opposite effect – is in this adjusted state and you start experiencing anxiety and several other symptoms because your GABA receptors aren’t being stimulated by alcohol anymore.
Withdrawal symptoms are experienced as your body slowly returns to normal function and balance. During withdrawal, you can expect symptoms such as anxiety, headaches, shakiness in the limbs, insomnia, sweating, and nausea. More severe symptoms include seizures, hallucinations, fever, confusion, and delusions. The worst of the symptoms can be life-threatening, which is why it’s important to be medically supervised during alcohol withdrawal.
Of course, through our alcohol detox program in Los Angeles, we can help by giving you medication that stimulates GABA receptors among other things, allowing your body to experience less severe symptoms as you recover at a more comfortable pace.

There is a wide range of personal elements such as how frequently you drank and for how long that can affect how long alcohol detox lasts. On average, you can expect to get through the majority of symptoms by around day five.
After about 6 to 12 hours after you had your last drink, the first symptoms will begin to appear. This includes symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, and insomnia. After roughly 12 to 48 hours, more severe symptoms may begin such as seizures and hallucinations. The most severe of the symptoms tend to set in at around day 2 to 3. This is the time when delirium tremens might set in which may require medical assistance.
By day 5, you should start to feel better. You are then ready to begin the next part of your recovery: behavioral therapy and holistic treatment. The goal is to address the true cause of the alcohol abuse so that long-term sobriety becomes possible.
Muse in Los Angeles is a top-rated rehab because it has everything you need to get through detox safely and as comfortably as possible as well as all of the behavioral therapies and holistic types of treatments that you need to overcome addiction for good.
