Detox Comfotably and Safely

What  is Detoxification?

Detoxification is the process of removing the addictive substance from the physical body. While it is not usually a life-threatening experience, uncomfortable physical symptoms can manifest in a variety of ways as the body goes through the withdrawl phase.   

Some choose to “cold turkey” this process at home allowing the substance to work its way out of the body, but without proper support or a defined recovery plan, the chances of long term success are slim. The withdrawals in the detoxification process can be painful and overwhelming, thus triggering a relapse before true recovery begins. There is also the risk of sezures during the detox process.  Quite simply, addictions are incredibly powerful and often require medical assistance. 

For most people, the thought of being placed in an institutionalized environment during this process is unpleasant. That’s where a medically managed, yet comfortable residential setting for detoxification can be the perfect alternative.

You will find a caring staff, bed and breakfast home-like environment, and the utmost expertise.  We make this option available and affordable so you can get the jump start necessary to change your life forever. You can either choose our option or one of your own.  Additional referrals are available upon request.  While it truly is the first step, we believe it is the most important one in determining the overall success of sobriety.

What Happens After I Complete the Process of Detoxification?

While the process of detoxification primarily deals with the physical part of addiction, it’s important to understand that addiction stems much deeper. The substance used by an individual is but a symptom of an underlying root issue in a person’s life, usually stemming from emotional and spiritual conflict. Emotional and spiritual issues cannot be properly addressed until the substance is removed.  Once the physical body is clean and sober, a plan must be developed to address the areas in a person’s life that have lead up to an addictive lifestyle. Twelve step programs and treatment programs are some examples of such a plan.
