Drug Detox

Detoxification from drugs does not have to be an unbearable, or even an uncomfortable, experience.

Drug Detoxification Treatment Center

A 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 Abuse

Heroin, 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.

Overcome Your Fear of Drug Detoxification

A medical detox provides the opportunity to break clean from the physical and emotional dependence, and gives you an opportunity to recover.

Medical Treatment Eases Drug Withdrawal Symptoms

Our 24-hour medical staff of doctors and nurses continuously evaluate your progress and administer the appropriate medications suitable for your condition.
