  Medical Detox

 

The medical detoxification unit is a short term inpatient program designed to help patients withdraw from alcohol and drugs safely and without medical complications. Criteria for admission are severe symptoms of substance withdrawal that require 24-hour medical supervision.

During detoxification, patients are under the care of a physician experienced in addictions treatment. Patients on the unit also begin receiving education about their addiction and receive a comprehensive discharge plan for follow-up treatment.
