Detox Programs

Detox Program (Regular)

Regular detox is a method in which the person will enter a live-in program to stop using their particular drug of choice. In most cases, the person receives daily interviews to encourage them through their detox and seek further help. This type of detox will generally take between 3 to 10 days.

Medical Detox

A medical detox service applies when a person is on prescription medication for a physical condition and uses illicit drugs or alcohol. It is a service with 24-hour medical supervision. Health professionals must wean the person carefully off the lethal combination before rehabilitation can start.

It has much to do with a person’s physical condition. Such drugs as methadone, “Benzo” type medications, Morphine, Oxycontin, Percocet, and other pain suppressant drugs alone or combined may require monitoring blood pressure and heart rate to avoid seizures and other complications. Treatment specialists will often recommend a person with substantial or long-term alcohol abuse a medically assisted detox. Find out more about this type of withdrawal.
