A successful recovery lays the groundwork for a fresh start in life. Attempting “self-detox” at home, particularly for alcoholic withdrawal, can pose serious risks. Mission Recovery Treatment Center rejects the idea of a generic detox approach, recognizing that each resident is unique. Our program is designed to deliver personalized, evidence-based treatment with 24/7 monitoring in a secure and comfortable setting. Our devoted and experienced staff conducts a meticulous intake process, evaluating the patterns, nature of drug and alcohol use, as well as the emotional, psychological, and overall health of the individual. Once their system is free of chemicals, we guide them through a smooth transition to the next phase of their recovery program.
The first stage of treatment is the Medical Detox that involves the removal of toxic and dangerous substances from a person’s body while helping them to stabilize both physically and mentally. The treatment provided at our facility is evidence-based, thus monitoring of vital signs and neurological status is done to prevent the adverse effects of withdrawal.
Often uncomfortable and dangerous withdrawal symptoms are followed by cessation of the drug of choice. The long term substance abuse causes the brain to adapt to the substance in question, reducing the presence of certain neurotransmitters, culling cellular receptors, and otherwise changing the way in which brain cells function so that the drug can “fit in” more easily. When the substance in question is no longer available, the brain must struggle to fill the void that the drug left behind. This struggle is what causes withdrawal symptoms.
At times, withdrawals can result in severe conditions that include chills, sleepless nights, crying spells, profuse sweating, and nausea and even put individuals at risk of serious death or serious brain damage. To manage the symptoms, we utilize a progressive medication-assisted detox. The therapists and case managers make the necessary arrangements before the transition of individuals, thus increasing the patient’s chances of completing an entire rehab program successfully.
The duration of detoxification is a personalized and individualized process. It is not bound by external guidelines but determined by the specific needs of the individual. The length of stay in the program is subject to speculation based on factors such as the quantity and duration of drug use, the presence of coexisting medical or psychiatric conditions, and the use of multiple illicit drugs. As a result, the proposed care plan may evolve throughout the treatment period, adapting to the individual’s progress.
Embarking on the journey to a sober life begins with completing a detox program, marking the initial step towards recovery. The subsequent phase involves Residential Treatment, where individuals can maximize the advantages gained from detoxification, fostering health benefits and progress in sobriety.
