What to Expect from Our Medical Detox Program

Drug detox is the safest way to manage cravings and ensure a smooth transition into recovery. It provides individuals with security and care should any complications arise. In medically supervised detox, our team of professionals monitors a client’s progress as they move through different stages of withdrawal. This will vary depending on the substance an individual is addicted to, as well as the duration of their use and the potency of the substance they were abusing.

Typically, there are three stages to detox:

  • Evaluation: This initial stage involves doing a thorough assessment of the client’s medical history and current needs. It measures the concentration of drugs and alcohol in the client’s system and determines what medications are needed. At the same time, our team of experts screens for any co-occurring disorders, such as mental health issues, which often accompany substance addiction. 
  • Stabilization: This is when individuals deal with the effects of drug detox, including symptoms associated with drug addiction. At this stage, our team may use medications to assist with recovery.
  • Aftercare: At this point, clients, alongside our treatment team, determine what further treatment programs they’ll need to sustain their recovery. This could include outpatient treatment, mental health programs, or support services such as group therapy.

We strive for clinical excellence, employing doctors, nurses, and clinicians who specialize in addiction treatment. Many have personal experience or family members in recovery, so we truly understand recovery.

Medical Detox for substance abuse

Importance of Medical Detox

Substance abuse takes a tremendous toll on the body. While the initial effects of drug or alcohol use may be a sense of euphoria or comfort, repeated use leads to significant chemical changes in the brain. When this occurs, individuals discover they need to drink more often, or they need to use drugs more frequently or in higher doses. As their body builds a tolerance to the substance, any pleasant sensation from the drugs or alcohol diminishes, being replaced with a need to avoid uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. Specific withdrawal symptoms will accompany specific drugs, but some common withdrawal symptoms can include:

  • Sleep issues ranging from insomnia to excessive tiredness or fatigue
  • Sudden, unexplained, and situationally inappropriate mood swings
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Tremors, uncontrollable shaking, and even seizures
  • Intestinal issues like constipation or diarrhea
  • Cramping and body aches
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Hallucinations

In the case of alcohol addiction, a dangerous though rare condition called delirium tremens that can be fatal without medical supervision. In our medical detox program, clients are monitored in a safe, secure environment to endure their withdrawal symptoms and begin recovery through therapy.
