In order to design an appropriate treatment plan, we screen our patients for:
  1. Substance abuse
  2. Underlying psychological disorders
  3. Personality type
From the results we are able to come up with an individualized treatment plan
Drug addiction and alcoholism are chronic diseases. It is the responsibility of the patient to maintain sobriety after addiction detox. This is by continuing recovery after they leave treatment. This means seeing a therapist, attending 12-step groups and focusing on self-care.

Our addiction recovery programs uncover the complicated problems. These problems usually underlie addictive and self-destructive behaviors.

The brain reacts distinctively to different addictive substances over time and frequent use. Withdrawal symptoms aren’t pleasant for any drug. Some withdrawals can be fatal. Thus drugs should never be quit without medical supervision.

Lethal withdrawals are linked to drugs like synthetic opiates, benzodiazepines, alcohol and heroin. During inpatient rehab patients have access to 24-hour medical attention. This attention can mean the difference between relapse and recovery.

Medical Addiction Detox

Detoxification, or “detox”, involves carefully tapering the body from the harmful side effects of substance withdrawal. Detox is a crucial step in rehabilitation and recovery. Depending on the severity and type of substance addiction, the detox process may be uncomfortable. It may present potentially severe health complications.

For this reason, it is advised to never attempt detoxification by yourself or “at-home”. But only under the supervision of medical health professionals. Dependence on alcohol or drugs causes physical, psychological and behavioral withdrawal symptoms.

The detoxification program serves to prepare the patient for ongoing treatment within our facility. The goal being restoring the patient to a healthy and sober state of life.
