Once a person develops an alcohol or drug addiction, it is difficult to quit. In fact, many people avoid entering a recovery center to postpone the inevitable discomfort that occurs during withdrawal. The process of recovery is even more challenging due to the possibility of life-threatening withdrawal symptoms that may occur if the person chooses to stop taking drugs or alcohol. To lessen the risks associated with alcohol and drug withdrawal, the first step in recovery from addiction is entering a medical detoxification program at a substance abuse and mental health treatment facility. 

Detox is an important step in the recovery process because it allows your body to rid itself of the toxins that have built up over time due to substance abuse. During medical detox, South Coast will help you manage any withdrawal symptoms so that you can finally get on the road to recovery. 

Medical Detox

What Is Medical Detox?

During treatment for substance use disorders, medical detox programs assist in the removal of toxins (drugs and/or alcohol) while addressing any withdrawal symptoms that arise. The detoxification process is often physically and emotionally taxing for those with physiological dependence. 

Due to the uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous symptoms of withdrawal, it is important to remain under the close supervision of medical professionals while detoxing from addictive substances. Throughout treatment in a detox facility, addiction treatment professionals can provide you with medications to ease your discomfort and manage the symptoms resulting from drug or alcohol withdrawals. For example. medical detox programs often utilize FDA-approved medication management services to prevent seizures that may occur during withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines.

In maintaining a safe, comfortable treatment environment, medically-supervised detox programs are staffed with trained medical professionals who will be there to support you every step of the way. As a vital resource for those seeking addiction recovery services, alcohol and drug detox programs help you throughout the sub-acute detox phase of recovery and continue into residential and outpatient treatment to lower your risk of relapse.

We are open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.
