Medical Detox

  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Medical Detox

Entering substance abuse treatment is an admirable commitment, reflecting a desire for a brighter, healthier future. You can lay the groundwork for success with inpatient detox, where medical professionals can manage your symptoms and provide you with the support you need to make it past the challenging first phase. Serene Behavioral Health offers a medically supervised detox program, providing the critical support you need.

Understanding Inpatient Detox

Drugs and alcohol alter your brain’s natural reward system, causing dependency and addiction. Medical detox serves as the initial step in breaking this cycle, realigning the brain’s chemical balance and setting the stage for comprehensive addiction treatment.

The concept of detoxification is straightforward – removing toxins from the body. However, the experience can be physically and emotionally draining. Stopping substance use after prolonged consumption can lead to a gamut of withdrawal symptoms, which can vary greatly in their severity and presentation.

 

Navigating Withdrawal Symptoms

While the detox journey is unique for everyone, you can expect to experience symptoms like these.

  • Emotional fluctuations: Detox often manifests in mood changes, including anxiety or depression. For those with co-occurring addiction and a mental health diagnosis, these shifts can be even more dramatic, accompanied by physical symptoms like heart palpitations, irregular pulse, and dizziness.
  • Sleep disturbances: Sleep irregularities like insomnia, vivid dreams, and night terrors are a common challenge during detox.
  • Physical discomfort: Detox can mirror flu-like symptoms, including body aches, chills, and sweating.

 

The Imperative of Inpatient Detox

While you might believe an at-home detox will go smoothly, this is a dangerous misconception.

Attempting detox outside a controlled environment can be highly uncomfortable, dangerous, and possibly even life-threatening. Given the potential severity of withdrawal symptoms and the medical complications that can arise, it’s paramount to undergo the process under the care of seasoned professionals.

Serene Behavioral Health’s inpatient detox offers these benefits.

  • Safety and supervision: Experienced addiction specialists will monitor you around the clock, ensuring your vital signs remain stable and promptly addressing any discomfort.
  • Seamless transition to recovery: While detox is crucial, it’s only the initial phase of a comprehensive recovery journey. Once you are medically stable post-detox, you can seamlessly transition to our addiction recovery program, where a holistic treatment approach awaits.

At Serene Behavioral Health, we understand the decision to seek addiction treatment is monumental. Our dedicated team ensures you take the first step with utmost care, safety, and support. By building a strong foundation through our detox program, you set the trajectory for a lifelong journey of recovery and well-being.
