What Is Detox?
Detoxification, or detox, is the process of allowing the body to rid itself of a substance. This can be done through various means, but detoxing at a professional treatment center increases the chances of a successful recovery. Attempting to stop “cold turkey” is dangerous and can even be life-threatening due to the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms that often accompany detoxification.
While withdrawal can be a difficult and uncomfortable process, it is a necessary step in the recovery process.
How to Manage Withdrawal Symptoms
For those that regularly abuse drugs and alcohol, a dependency can form. Once a person is dependent upon a substance, their body becomes accustomed to its presence. If they try to stop using the substance, withdrawal symptoms can occur.
Withdrawal symptoms vary depending upon the substance abused but can include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Agitation
- Sweating
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Muscle aches and pains
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Intense cravings for drugs or alcohol
Luckily, there are a number of options to ease the symptoms of withdrawal and make the detox process more tolerable. At Leona Valley RC, we are committed to you and a successful recovery.
What Happens After Detox?
Detox is only the first step on the road to recovery. Once detox is complete, it is important to begin working on the underlying causes of addiction. This can be done through various means, such as therapy, counseling, and support groups, usually in an inpatient setting.
At Leona Valley RC, our inpatient treatment program can treat 6 people at a time, as we have only six beds to give each one personal attention and exclusive treatment benefits. This focused, intimate approach allows us to tailor your treatment to your unique needs. On a limited basis, we also offer a partial hospitalization program where you return home in the evenings but spend your days in a highly structured treatment environment.
Leona Valley offers a mixture of evidence-based therapeutic modalities and holistic approaches to treatment and recovery. For most people struggling with substance use disorder, a combination of therapies will be employed. Some of the proven and effective therapies we use include:
- Medication Assistant Treatment (MAT)
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT)
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
- Integrated Change Therapy (ICT)
- Motivational Therapies
- Group therapy
- Family therapy
- Spiritual advising
Leona Valley Recovery Center is dedicated to finding the right mix of therapies for your individual needs. We know that the traditional approach to addiction treatment is flawed, and we are committed to forging a new, better path to recovery one person at a time.
