Detoxification Services

THE EXPERIENCE

The first step in recovery from addiction is often detoxification. Cedar Ridge's detoxification facilities provide 24-hour care which allow individuals to begin their road to sobriety in a healthy, safe, and medically monitored environment.

The Detoxification Process

The average amount of time it takes someone to completely detox is around 5-7 days. Working with our treatment staff through this process will ensure that you're prepared for the symptoms that come with a detoxification period of that length. There are a few factors that can shorten or lengthen that time, as well. Some of those factors include age, sex, substances used, and the length, frequency, and amount used. Underlying conditions may also play a role in how long the detox process takes. Using the most up-to-date technological advancements such as The Bridge Device or The Sparrow Device, as well as comfort medications, our detoxification facilities are the first step to a successful recovery.

Withdrawal Symptoms

Withdrawal, while it may be unpleasant, is a natural part of the detoxification process. Common symptoms of withdrawal include nausea, tremors, headache, sweating, and muscle aches. More severe symptoms include goosebumps, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. Going through these symptoms can be incredibly stressful, which is why it's so important to make sure you receive proper medical attention while detoxing. In addition, there is a relapse rate of almost 95% for individuals who choose to detox on their own. Don't leave this part of your recovery up to chance. Ensure that you have proper medical assistance for successful detoxification.

Per SAMHSA, "detoxification involves much more than medically withdrawing a patient from alcohol or other drugs. Detoxification, frequently is the initial therapeutic encounter between patient and clinician. Irrespective of the substance involved, a detoxification episode should provide an opportunity for biomedical (including psychiatric) assessment, referral for appropriate services, and linkage to treatment services."
