Alumni Testimonials

Daybreak changed my life. The staff – from the nurses, therapists, managers, and most importantly – the on-site techs, were all extremely helpful in our recovery. Everything you need is available from detox all the way through residential treatment. (I did not participate in any further treatment options). If you or someone you love really wants the help, this is a great place to find it. This is definitely something that you take out what you put in, and if you participate in the groups, the therapy, and take advantage of the help that they willingly offer – you can make change here. Thanks to the Daybreak family, I am 101 days into a powerful new life.

Andre P.

Daybreak has been extremely beneficial in my recovery process. The staff, many of whom are in recovery themselves, have shown me repeatedly that they genuinely care about me and all the other clients here. This fact, combined with their knowledge on the recovery process, has benefited me more than any other treatment center in the past. My counselor, Holly, has been especially helpful to me. I would absolutely recommend Daybreak to a friend or anyone struggling with addiction.

Kyle M.

I cannot say enough about this place! Daybreak saved my life! From the minute I walked in the door I was treated with respect, dignity, and a compassion I had never experienced in any of the many other treatment facilities I had been to. What made the difference for me was the staff. The people who worked there truly cared about me and my recovery. There honestly was never a moment that I felt alone and the fact that many of the staff are in recovery themselves meant they truly understood what I was going through at my most vulnerable. Knowing these people were so invested in saving me from myself, were always there if I needed to talk, and that they honestly cared about me and my recovery undoubtedly made all the difference for me. Daybreak also maintains a family atmosphere in such beautiful facilities and makes sure that your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs are being met. I’ve never had such an amazing experience in treatment before. If you or a loved one is suffering please PLEASE let Daybreak give you the opportunity to get your life back.

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.
