What is Detox Like?
You may have heard horror stories about detox or have tried quitting drugs on your own but relapsing due to the discomfort and anxiety that come with withdrawal symptoms. Addiction recovery does not need to be frightening, painful, or traumatizing, and at Daybreak, we offer a 3 to 7-day integrated medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program for detoxing that includes:
- A comfortable, safe, and 100% sober place to stay inside our luxury detox center
- A semi-private room with a maximum of one roommate
- Access to luxury amenities like your own TV, yoga classes, massage therapy, spa services, and movie theater access
- 24-hour medical care and oversight from nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical doctors to keep you safe and make sure your detox is going to plan
- The option to take prescription medications to help you through difficult cravings, pain, and other discomfort, as well as to prevent serious health issues like seizures and high blood pressure
- Dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health issues and trauma that occur alongside substance use disorders, like anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. This includes targeted therapy and psychiatric medication when needed
- Addiction therapy and counseling is provided immediately to help you deal with difficult emotional and psychological symptoms of withdrawal during medical detox. This therapy will continue on into your alcohol and drug rehab program once detox is over
What to Expect During Drug Detox?
Detox for drugs and alcohol at Daybreak in Bucks County PA is provided by highly credentialed medical professionals and therapists who are experienced in detoxification and addiction therapy. They will be there to not only make sure you are medically safe, but also to help you emotionally, as detoxing can be anxiety-inducing. Not only are you going through a lot physically, but you are also committing to making a huge lifestyle and behavioral change, which can feel stressful.
Our non-judgmental team uses trauma-informed practices including ensuring you understand and consent to all treatments and medications before they are put into place, answering all of your questions thoroughly and truthfully, and keeping you informed on all decisions related to your drug detox. You will rest and recover in a safe place as your body works to rid your system of toxins and rebalance itself, and we will do all we can to keep you comfortable during this challenging time.
Symptoms of Detox by Drug Type
Drug rehabilitation is unique to each person, not only because of their own physiological and behavioral differences, but also because each substance produces its own withdrawal symptoms. If you are thinking about entering one of our inpatient drug detox programs in the Bucks County treatment facility and are wondering what to expect, here is a short list of common withdrawal symptoms that occur during drug detox.

Prescription Drugs
There are numerous types of addictive prescription drugs, the most common being opioids and benzodiazepine drugs. Symptoms will vary depending on which prescription drugs you are abusing, how long you have been taking them, how you have been misusing them, and whether you were mixing them with alcohol or other drugs.
Acute Detox
Acute detox is a full-time, 24-hour medical detox plan, in which you move inside the drug treatment facility, getting intensive drug addiction treatment that will keep you safe as your body detoxifies and recovers from the chemical changes occurring in your brain. An acute detox program is usually medication-assisted, with dual diagnosis care and therapy, with doctors and nurses available to you 24/7 in case of medical emergency.
Sub-Acute Detox
Sub-acute detox for drug and alcohol rehab in Bucks County is a detox program that happens in both inpatient and outpatient programs and is designed to help those with milder addictions. In this type of substance abuse treatment plan, you will not have the same intensive level of medical support, and you may not be required to stay inside the detox facility full-time. Sub-acute detox is best suited for people without co-occurring mental health and/or physical health issues that require a doctor’s care.

Through medical detox, inpatient rehab, and outpatient drug treatments including our partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and our intensive outpatient program (IOP), along with connections to sober living homes and aftercare treatments, you will always have the right level of support you need to live a healthier, happier, drug-free life.
