Detox Facilities

Detoxification:  helps people safely withdraw from drugs and alcohol until the substances are no longer present in their system. It is often the first step in treating individuals recovering from moderate to severe forms of addiction.  

Medically Assisted Detox: In some cases, detoxing from certain drugs requires medication-assisted therapy to help ease the severity of withdrawal symptoms. Medications prescribed during detox are often tapered down until the patient is no longer physically dependent on addictive substances.  

Non-Medically Assisted AKA “Social Detox”: Social detox is a viable option for patients whose withdrawal process is deemed manageable without medical intervention. It can be a very effective way to begin the recovery process for people who aren’t at risk of developing life-threatening withdrawal symptoms like seizures or severe dehydration.
