Medically Supervised Detoxification Program
Until recently, alcoholics and drug addicts dreaded detox because it meant a painful and sometimes life-threatening "cold turkey" withdrawal. Now, doctors are able to give hospitalized substance abusers carefully chosen medications which can substantially ease withdrawal symptoms. Thus, when a detoxification program is done under medical supervision, it's safer and less traumatic.
Detoxification will be the first step on the road to recovery for many people. Our medically supervised detoxification program allows the time needed for reducing withdrawal symptoms. We uses the best addiction medicine has to offer and specialize in cutting edge opiate detox techniques, including the use of buprenorphine (buprenex, subutex, suboxone) to ease the often painful effects of opiate detox and heroin detox.
The primary goal of detox is physical stabilization under the supervision of a physician certified in Addiction Medicine.
Professional addiction counselors will obtain a thorough medical history including alcohol and drug use. Medication may be prescribed to help ease the withdrawal symptoms associated with certain drug or alcohol use during detoxification.
