The prescription drug detox process can involve a wide range of physical symptoms, such as elevated heart rate, muscle pain, abdominal cramps, and blurred vision. Severe withdrawal symptoms may include heart attacks or cardiotoxic effects, especially in cases involving prescription opioids or benzo detox. Our highly-qualified medical detox team monitors heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs during every stage of the withdrawal process. We offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when needed and use common medications to reduce discomfort, drug cravings, and potential complications. All detoxification services are overseen by licensed clinical staff and supported by 24/7 nursing staff.

Detox from prescription drugs often involves both physical dependence and emotional healing. Our treatment center fosters a supportive environment with health professionals and counselors trained to address the emotional effects of withdrawal, such as feelings of pleasure followed by mood swings, anxiety, and depression. We provide adjunct therapy and experiential therapies as part of our comprehensive plans to support your recovery journey.

Every case of prescription drug dependency is different. Whether someone is struggling with drug misuse, addiction to prescription drugs, or chronic pain management that has led to chemical dependency, our team conducts a full assessment of drug use history and mental health status. This helps determine the appropriate level of care—whether it be inpatient programs, residential treatment, or outpatient treatment. Our goal is to build a strong foundation for long-term sobriety.

Detox medication can ease symptoms of prescription drug withdrawal and manage intense drug cravings. MAT is especially helpful for opioid detox and benzo withdrawal. By easing the calming effects or euphoric effects associated with dangerous substances, MAT helps stabilize energy levels and prevent relapse. We also use agonist substitution therapies when appropriate, following guidelines from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Mental Health Services Administration.

Detoxification is just one stage in the recovery process. After completing the detox stage, individuals transition to higher or lower levels of care depending on their needs. We help develop an aftercare plan that may include outpatient programs, inpatient rehab, or continued behavioral therapies to maintain cessation rate and promote daily life stability. Maintenance therapy may be included in some cases of opioid use disorders or alcohol use disorder. Our admissions navigators guide individuals through the continuum of care from detox to outpatient treatment.
