Drug & Alcohol Detox Center Houston, TX

 

We Provide Medically Supervised Detox For All Drug & Alcohol Addictions

There are many different approaches when it comes to treatment for drug addiction, but Detox is always the first step in treatment for drug or alcohol addiction. Without detox, the patient cannot begin the process of rehabilitation and long term recovery. Our detox programs have been put together with decades of experience and medical staff on site.

Because detox is mentally and physically draining, most addicts will avoid taking the first step of getting sober. For them its easier to continue using than facing detox. If and when they have a moment of clarity, and their pain and suffering is too much, they are usually ready to take the next step.

If you or a loved one are ready, feel free to call us today and we will answer any questions you have about our alcohol and drug detox programs. Regardless of what you are addicted to, we have the experience and a MAD program for you.

All of our addiction treatment programs start with detox, inpatient second and outpatient third.

Detox Program Details

The first step in our detox program is the evaluation process. This is where we cover the patients addiction history, how much was being used, any medications they are currently taking, and many other factors such as mental illness or underlying health conditions. We also take into consideration any health conditions which may arise due to the detox.

Why Medically Assisted Detox Is Better

For many hundreds of years patients have had to detox cold turkey with or without minimal medication for the physical and mental withdrawal symptoms experienced.

MAD on the other hand is a curated detox program that focuses on alleviating as many symptoms as possible. This also creates a more realistic proposition for most addicts who are reluctant to enter rehab due to withdrawal symptoms.  giving the patient an easier and safer path towards recovery.

Every detox center is different, but the majority use similar programs to detox patients on their drug of choice. What matters is safety and qualifications. Detox can be deadly and extremely painful for the addict. You want to ensure that the detox center you choose is overseen by medical staff and regulated by the state.
