Drug DetoxDetoxification from drugs does not have to be an unbearable, or even an uncomfortable, experience. Drug Detoxification Treatment CenterA detoxification, or “detox” for short, is the medically assisted process of gradually removing one’s physical dependence on drugs. At the Stepping Stone Center for Recovery, we can administer detoxification medications to help reduce or eliminate withdrawal symptoms. We can ease the transition assuring that patients remain safe and comfortable. Detoxification alone, however, is not a solution to addiction. It does nothing to address the psychological dependence, nor does it address any of the underlying issues that may have caused the addiction. Once a patient has detoxed and has been medically stabilized, we can begin to work on complete rehabilitation. Dangers in Going “Cold Turkey” with Drug AbuseHeroin, cocaine, crystal meth, and prescription drugs all have a powerful effect on the mind and body. These drugs immediately alter the brain neurons as well as the chemicals produced in the brain to create specific physiological responses. Once you become accustomed to these effects, suddenly stopping can create serious withdrawal symptoms.

TESTIMONIALS
I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert. -- Terrance G, Morristown, New Jersey My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all. -- Patti P, Atlanta, Georgia You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab. -- Dean W, Dallas Texas |
