Medical Drug & Alcohol Detox

Alcohol and drug abuse can lead to dependence, which is likely to cause withdrawal symptoms when you stop. Quitting substances on your own can be dangerous and increases the risk of overdose and relapse. 

Detox is a short-term inpatient program that provides 24/7 support and medical care. A team of doctors, nurses, and addiction specialists monitor withdrawal and may use medications to ease symptoms. 

A medical detox program gives your body a safe environment to recover and helps prepare you for a long-term addiction treatment program. 

Residential/Inpatient Drug Rehab

A residential drug and alcohol rehab program is intensive and structured to help you achieve long-term recovery. You will be supervised around-the-clock and be involved in daily activities. 

Depending on your treatment plan, you may participate in group therapy, behavioral therapy, and individual counseling. 

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient programs allow you to commute to the treatment facility for scheduled treatment sessions. Similar to inpatient rehab centers, outpatient treatment helps you learn recovery skills through group therapy, family therapy, and behavioral therapy. 

Outpatient programs, which include intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), often require several hours of counseling each day and up to five days a week. 

Opioid & Alcohol Treatment Programs

If you or a loved one struggles with opioid or alcohol dependence, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can reduce cravings and assist with recovery. MAT combines medications, like buprenorphine or naloxone, with therapy, education, and vocational services. 

Aftercare

Aftercare is a vital part of treatment that can help you maintain the skills you learned in your residential and/or outpatient programs. A case manager can give you access to 12-step groups, sober living, relapse prevention, and employment services.
