What is a Medical Detox?

Medical detox is a medication-assisted withdrawal protocol designed to specifically assist and stem the seemingly overwhelming pain and medical problems that are associated with the sudden decline of intake of the substance in question.

Will the Detox process be painful?

Coming down or withdrawing from drugs or alcohol can be associated with being sick and having painful muscle cramps, uncontrollable anxiety, sleeplessness, seizures, and even death in some rare cases. With a medically supervised detox or medicated withdrawal, the symptoms that are associated with detox are alleviated and in some cases completely pain and symptom-free during their stay. In most cases, you will feel minimum withdrawal symptoms while in medical detox.

Holistic Detox Centers

The use of vitamins, minerals, massage, and in some cases acupuncture is available in the form of a holistic detox. This can be an effective detox practice but we do not recommend or endorse such practices due to the danger and risk factors to the client during some withdrawals. For some, holistic healing is the way to go, but for others, especially people addicted to opiates and alcohol, holistic detox may not be the easiest or safest form of detox. Speaking with a counselor will help you confirm which type of detox is best for your situation.

Rapid Detox

The purpose of Rapid Detox is simple. It will help to reduce, minimize, or to eliminate altogether, the signs and symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. This decreases the chances of relapse and increases the likelihood of a full recovery. Rapid detox is not intended to replace a fully comprehensive treatment and recovery program. It is simply a ‘procedure’ designed to help an individual tolerate the withdrawal symptoms from opiates with much greater comfort. Rapid Detox is not a “cure” for addiction.

Detoxification is the first step in a process that is necessary to engage oneself in rehabilitation. Drug and alcohol detoxification has long been accepted as an essential, although often difficult, first step toward recovery from addiction. In the absence of professional medical assistance, most will fail in an attempt to free themselves from the grip of drug and/or alcohol addiction. Successful detoxification is essential before long-term recovery can begin. Designed to reduce withdrawal symptoms for individuals dependent on Heroin, Methadone, Oxycontin, Opium, Percocet/Percodan, or Codeine, anesthesia-assisted opiate detoxification allows for engagement in a variety of aftercare programs aimed at placing drug addiction into remission.
