What is Detox Like?
Entering into drug detox when you are ready to overcome your substance use disorders is the first initial step of your addiction recovery program. Drug detox is the time for patients to rid your body of the harmful chemicals and toxins from drugs and alcohol to enable you to have a clear mindset to begin to heal from the underlying causes of your substance abuse. The drug detox phase is a time where your body will begin to adjust to functioning without having drugs and alcohol in your system. During this time, you will experience uncomfortable or unpleasant side effects from drug withdrawal. Participating in a medical detox program within our recovery center will allow you to have ongoing support and supervision from our licensed nurses and doctors that will ensure your physical, emotional, and mental health safety. You will be provided with medical treatments and addiction therapy methods that will support you through your first steps in your recovery journey.
What to Expect During Drug Detox?
When you first arrive to our treatment centers, you will sit down with someone from our medical team and admission specialists to complete initial physical and psychological assessments that will give our team context on the severity of your drug addiction to best inform our practices to create an individualized detox and treatment programs that will be centered around your specific physical and mental health needs for healing and provide you with the levels of care that you need to safely overcome your substance use disorders. During your drug detox, you will be consistently monitored and assessed by our medical team who will ensure you remain comfortable and relaxed while mitigating any presenting withdrawal symptoms that arise. You will be provided with addiction treatment methods including medication assisted treatment, holistic therapy treatments, behavioral therapy, and dual diagnosis treatment. An effective drug detox and rehab program will include a whole person integrated approach to healing that will foster healing and growth within your body, mind, and soul.
