Monitored Detox Program
Detoxification or Detox is where most recovery stories begin. Detox is the intervention in a case of physical dependence on drugs or alcohol, in which the body processes and rids itself of a drug. During the detox process, one will often experience various withdrawal symptoms.
We offer a monitored detoxification program for those clients who have been cleared by a physician and are ready to begin their recovery program.
A detoxification program for physical dependence does not necessarily address the underlying factors of addiction, social factors, psychological addiction, or the complex behavioral issues that intermingle with addiction. It is for these reasons that it is important the detoxification process is followed with a treatment program and counseling. Detox alone, without a structured treatment program, is not treatment.
What to expect in a Detox Program
With so many intoxicating and mind altering substances - including but not limited to heroin, prescription opioids, methamphetamine, fentanyl, benzodiazepine, cocaine, prescription pain killers, marijuana and alcohol - being abused across the United States, it is not surprising that our communities in the Central Valley have beed adversely affected. People abuse a variety of substances to such an extent that they need professional help to overcome the addictions and co-occurring mental health disorders that they usually develop as a result.
The length of detoxification can vary depending on the personal needs, physical, and mental health of the addict. The average length usually lasts 3-7 days. Specialized preliminary counseling with the addict, paired with staff members certified in First-Aid/CPR are present at all times to care for those in the detox program During the detoxification process, one will often experience various withdrawal symptoms.
Once the detox program is complete, the client will then join the Residential Treatment Program to start the journey a lasting recovery.
Note:
It is important to note that at any time, if a client needs or requires medical attention of any kind, they will immediately be admitted to a local emergency room to detox under the care of medical professionals.
