Withdrawal Management For 20+ Substances​

Withdrawal can be uncomfortable and even dangerous, but detoxing under medical supervision allows you to manage symptoms and protect your health. It’s not just about easing physical discomfort, it’s also about getting you ready and in the right mindset for the next phase of care. ​

We offer care for every stage so you always have someone to turn to when you need it.

Structured daily support including individual and group therapies, medication management, nutritional support, holistic care, and recreational activities​​.

Your Questions, Answered

Below, we’ve answered some common questions to give you a better idea of what to expect and how we can support you. If you have more questions or would like to learn more, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help!

You’ll start with a medical evaluation to assess your health and substance use history. Once detox begins, medications may be given to manage withdrawal symptoms and keep you comfortable. You’ll be monitored 24/7 to make sure you’re safe and address any complications. The length of your detox will depend on the substance, but most people complete it in a few days to a week.

For our medical team to make safe decisions about managing your symptoms, make sure to be honest about the medications you are taking, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements.

We strongly recommend detox for substances that cause severe withdrawal, like alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines. The amount of time it takes depends on your substance use history, overall health, and how your body is responding.

Without medical supervision, complications like seizures, dehydration, and heart problems can happen. Detox provides the medical support you need to manage these risks.

Approach the conversation with compassion and understanding. Express concern without judgment and explain how detox can make the process safer and more comfortable. Offer to explore treatment options and support them through the process.

Once you complete detox, you are ready for the next step of treatment which includes therapy, counseling, and peer support. This is where you will learn skills and strategies to maintain your sobriety long after treatment.

Depending on the substance and your medical history, medications may be used to reduce discomfort, prevent complications, and make the process more manageable.

While going through detox will make your withdrawal symptoms and cravings a lot easier to manage, you are at higher risk of relapsing if you skip your drug rehab program. Therapy allows you to identify the root causes of your problems and build skills to maintain your progress.

Withdrawal symptoms can be different depending on the substance, how long you’ve been using, and your overall health. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe complications, but with medical supervision, the process can be made safer and more comfortable.

Many people go through detox more than once before finding long-term success. Each experience is different, and our team is here to offer the support and tools you need to move forward, no matter your past struggles.
