Our medical director, psychiatrist and 24-hour nursing staff oversee the detoxification process and supervise medication throughout the client’s 3-6+ month stay.
While a person’s brain might feel ready and willing to focus on sobriety and healing, that person’s body might still be under the influence of drugs. Until the brain and the body are in sync, recovery will be very difficult to accomplish, which is why our medical detox program is designed to help.
The client will have time to rid themselves of any remaining influence of drugs or alcohol to focus on recovery and return to a sober, healthier life. This work is done in a safe, secure and supervised environment. We have a separate luxurious villa, where we house our detoxing clients in their own private beds. Nursing stations are only feet away, where nurses are hands-on and frequently monitoring patients so we can keep people safe & comfortable throughout withdrawal; in fact, our Doctor will be able to manage a range of withdrawal severities, depending on the substance(s) being used and the level of substance dependence.
The Doctor will make the call on whether or not hospitalization may be needed, however, in most cases, our full medical monitoring will stabilize the patient. Ongoing medical treatment is provided throughout the client’s stay for further detox, psychiatric, nutritional, and health maintenance.
