Drug Detox
Drug detox through detox centers can help you break your addiction. After years of past and current abuse of drugs and alcohol, many clients enter the Forever Recovered drug rehab facility still suffering from the debilitating effects of the drug(s) of choice. Getting the body healthy is a primary concern and we begin the process the moment the client arrives at our facility through the steps of drug detox.
Medical Detoxification / Withdrawal
The first stage of our drug rehabilitation program is two-fold: to get the client no longer under the influence of any mood altering substances while at the same time help them to not suffer from any of the uncomfortable symptoms of its withdrawal. Upon entry to the Forever Recovered drug treatment program, every client will enter, at a minimum, our Drug Detox clinic. Here the client will be evaluated and a determination will be made if the client needs to be transferred to our more intensive medical detoxification unit.
In some cases, it is not recommended that a client abruptly stop taking his drug of choice without a medically supervised Drug Detox. Although not always the case, Alcohol, Benzodiazipenes and certain psychiatric medications can be extremely dangerous to withdraw from and, as such, will absolutely require a detox within our medically supervised unit.
Whether or not the client requires a medical drug detox depends upon the substances abused, the amounts and the duration of use.
In our medical drug detox clinic, we provide 24 hour supervision with nurses and trained withdrawal specialists. During this process we require that each client meet the following three criteria before moving on to begin their journey at our primary treatment facility:
- No longer under the influence of any mood-altering substances
- No longer in immediate medical danger as a result of their drug use and withdrawal
- No longer suffering from any major withdrawal symptoms of their drug of choice
After these three criteria are met, the client then continues on to our primary care drug rehab facility. Here we are going to continue to aid the client in in the detoxification process through proper diet, exercise with a physical trainer, nutrition, vitamin and nutritional therapy, massage and acupuncture. Although every aspect of the physical element of our program is voluntary, we highly encourage our clients to participate.
Exercise, Vitamins, and Nutrients Aid In Drug Detox
After years of substance abuse, many addicts suffer from numerous debilitating effects. Sometimes it is through a lack of proper sleep and nutrition that can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Feelings of chronic fatigue can lead to decreases in ambition, drive and determination. In worse conditions, the drug use itself has actually caused damage to the body’s system. Alcoholics may suffer from liver dysfunction. Heroin addicts may have contracted Hepatitis C. The cocaine addict may be exhibiting major mood swings.
The Forever Recovered treatment program includes, as its therapy, the options for all participants to take part in an important part of the recovery process…getting the body physically healthier. On a daily basis, every client has available the following:
- Full exercise room guided by a physical trainer
- Vitamin and nutritional therapy
- Sauna
- Whirlpools
Massage Therapy and Acupuncture aid in Body Drug Detox
To aid in helping the client to no longer suffer from any residual after effects of the withdrawal process, we provide, on a weekly basis, certified massage therapists and a certified acupuncture specialist.
