We Provide A Medically Supervised Detox For Drug & Alcohol Addiction
There are many different approaches when it comes to treatment for drug addiction, but Detox is always the first step in drug and alchol addiction treatment. Without detox, the patient cannot begin the process of rehabilitation or long term recovery. Our detox program has been crafted with decades of experience working with clients.
Because detox is mentally and physically draining, we find that most addicts will avoid detox all together. For them it’s easier to continue using than to detox. If and when they have a moment of clarity, and their pain and suffering is too much, that is moment to begin the first step.
If you or a loved one are ready to detox, feel free to call us today and we will answer any questions you have about our alcohol and drug detox programs. Regardless of what you are addicted to, we have the experience and a medically assisted detox program for you.
Why Medically Assisted Detox Is Better
For many hundreds of years patients have had to detox cold turkey with or without minimal medication for the physical and mental withdrawal symptoms experienced.
MAD on the other hand is a curated detox program that focuses on alleviating as many symptoms as possible. This also creates a more realistic proposition for most addicts who are reluctant to enter rehab due to withdrawal symptoms. giving the patient an easier and safer path towards recovery.
Every detox center is different, but the majority use similar programs to detox patients on their drug of choice. What matters is safety and qualifications. Detox can be deadly and extremely painful for the addict. You want to ensure that the detox center you choose is overseen by medical staff and regulated by the state.
