Alcohol & Drug Detox
There are many different approaches when it comes to treatment for drug addiction, but Detox is always the first step in drug and alcohol 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.
Medically Assisted Detox
At BARC our medically assisted detox programs start with an evaluation by our trained medical staff ensuring the patient is safe and they are treated properly.
The first step in our detox program is the evaluation process. This is where we cover the patients addiction history, how much was being used, any medications they are currently taking, and many other factors such as mental illness or underlying health conditions. We also take into consideration any health conditions which may arise due to the detox.
Every medially assisted detox plan is signed off by the MD on staff. Our Medically assisted detox evaluations are as follows:
- Physical exam
- Medical history
- Drug addiction history
- Full psychiatric evaluation
- Stabilization planning
- Regimented medication programs
- Vitals monitoring for symptom reduction during the detox process
- Preparation for follow-up treatment and ongoing recovery
