Detox Options
Congratulations on taking that big first step towards considering drug and alcohol detox and addiction recovery. We have treated people with all kinds of addictions in our treatment centers and we understand that entering treatment is difficult decision to make. Your recovery starts here – and we’ll happily guide you through the whole process.
Our treatment centers offer a variety of different detox plans for different forms of addiction. There are various health implications that need to taken into account when beginning detox, so we do a full mental and physical examination before it begins. We also take urine and blood samples so we can test them for substances.
Regardless of the context and the substance, the main goal is to fully detoxify the patient, wiping the slate clean for the rehabilitation treatment program. Things to consider before choosing a detox method:
-
The severity of the addiction, how long the individual has been taking the substance and the strength of their last drink or dose.
-
Has the individual attempted a detox and recovery program before?
-
Is the individual feeling physically and mentally able to begin detox treatment?
-
Does the individual have a strong preference for detox treatment to take place in a specific location?
