When you arrive at the medical detox facility, the medical staff will take your history and work with you on the best medical detox plan for you. Your medical detox plan could change, depending on how you respond to the treatments. Your team will ensure good hydration and proper levels of vitamins and minerals for your body as you progress through the detox process. You can be confident that the clinical staff will work 24/7 to keep you safe as well as comfortable.

Withdrawal symptoms may vary from mild to moderate and sometimes to life-threatening. They can include headaches, anxiety, depression, insomnia, restlessness, lack of concentration, sweating, palpitations, racing heart, difficulty breathing, tremor, vomiting, and tightness in the chest. The most dangerous of the symptoms include heart attack, stroke, hallucinations, grand mal seizures, and delirium tremens.

Withdrawal need not worry you if you choose a medical detox; the physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, behavioral health technicians, therapists, and counselors attending to you will be on hand to prescribe necessary measures and treatments to alleviate symptoms and make you comfortable. Because of this, you will need to stay at the facility during the medical detox process.

About Detoxing: Our Treatments

You may feel some discomfort during the process depending on what you are detoxing from, the length of time you have been using the substances and any health issues you may have, however we will treat all of your symptoms and keep you as comfortable as possible during the entire process as we are a full medical detox facility.

​Patient comfort is paramount. Our medical protocols are designed to keep patients safe and comfortable. All protocols were designed by our medical director who has over 20 years experience in the detox field. Our protocols, coupled with our high end facility provides an oasis where patients can heal and recovery in comfort.

A typical detox can range from 3 to 7 days yet some substances such as Methadone will require a longer time to safely taper.

While most centers estimate that the detox process will take 3-7 days, the length of time depends on several factors:

• Your unique DNA and metabolism
• The type of drug for which you seek detoxification
• The amount of the drug or alcohol you used, over what period of time
• Your age
• Your overall health status
• Your state of hydration
• Your state of mineral and vitamin deficiency
• If you are using more than one substance

All of our patients are treated as family with care, compassion and respect as this can be a challenging time for many.
