Drug Addiction Treatment and the Medical Detox Program

The initial phase of our drug addiction treatment begins with either the alcohol detoxification program or drug detox program. Our medical detox programs have two goals - medical stabilization and patient assessment to determine their need for ongoing drug addiction treatment. Our board certified physicians will design a detox protocol to manage your withdrawal symptoms if you are determined to be in need of alcohol detox or drug detoxification.

Drug Addiction Treatment and Drug Rehabilitation

The drug and alcohol detox program is followed by drug addiction treatment in our drug rehab program. Drug addiction treatment at Stepping Stone is designed to maintain the gains realized in detox, and developing the coping skills needed to maintain long term recovery. Admission to our dual diagnosis treatment component provides the most effective treatment for those individuals who are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder in conjunction with a drug addiction or alcohol addiction. This is known as having a dual diagnosis. We believe in treating both disorders concurrently to avoid the result return to unhealthy behavior or relapse.
