The goal of detox treatment is a safe and comfortable withdrawal. When choosing a detox program it is important to address the psychological aspects of addiction as well as the physical ones.

During a patient’s stay with us, our case management team will complete a Bio/Psycho/Social assessment of the patient’s current- and post- detox needs. Our case managers will focus on creating and implementing individualized treatment plans with the patient based on their specific needs and goals.

When deciding to stop, the first step towards a healthy lifestyle is a detox to help remove the substances from the body. Physical dependency is one of the hardest thing to overcome when when a substance user who is addicted to drugs or alcohol decides to stop.

If a substance user suddenly stops, their body will start going through a withdrawal period. In addition to being dangerous, withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable and painful. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be.

At Scottsdale Detox, we offer natural services to help patients through the detoxification process. Detoxification is the medical process that systematically and safely withdraws addictive drugs and alcohol from the body, under the care of a physician and supervised care.

Psychologically detoxing from drugs and alcohol is one of the most important parts of addiction recovery. We have trained addiction specialists on staff that begin to prepare the mind for the next step in their journey while they work to heal their body. While the mental focus is more high-level than inpatient rehab, it is an essential first step in encouraging patients to continue to the next phase of treatment. Typically we see two primary settings for psychological detox.
