What Is Detox?

In general, detoxing at a drug detox center or an alcohol detox center involves removing toxins from the body, and stopping drug or alcohol use is the first step. During this process, individuals must wait for their bodies to metabolize any remaining traces of drugs. The withdrawal symptoms that arise when people stop taking drugs are often uncomfortable, and abruptly stopping the use of certain drugs can be very dangerous. For these reasons, it’s vital to participate in detox programs that consist of medically supervised detox, symptom management, safety, and support. This process, also known as “medically managed withdrawal,” is designed to help individuals safely manage their withdrawal symptoms after they stop using drugs or alcohol.

Our Drug and Alcohol Detox Center in Pennsylvania

At our drug detox center and alcohol detox center in Pennsylvania, we believe in medication-assisted detox treatment. Medication is provided for the sole purpose of ensuring a safe and effective detox. Our medical staff makes the drug detox process as comfortable as possible for each client with 24-hour nursing care. In addition to medications, we offer behavioral therapies that unify the mind, body, and soul. The goal is to help clients reduce stress and manage their symptoms so they can focus on their recovery. In addition, our luxury medical detox program provides both full-service and self-serve/open-eating options, unlike other detox programs. Our self-serve/open eating lounge is available to our clients 24/7 and is stocked with homemade and easily prepared comfort foods. Our full-service kitchen is led by our Executive Chef, who’s also a certified nutritionist. And unlike other drug detox facilities, we offer each client a nutritional assessment and customized meal plan designed by our licensed dietician. Our detox treatment includes but isn’t limited to the following:

Detox Phases at Silver Pines

At Silver Pines in Pennsylvania, our drug detox services occur in three phases:
  • Phase 1: Evaluation The first step of our program is an evaluation during which a medical professional assesses the presence of drugs and alcohol and the need for medical detoxification. During this phase, clients have stopped using drugs and start receiving individualized and holistic treatment based on their needs until their withdrawal symptoms subside.
  • Phase 2: Stabilization The next phase is stabilization, which is the core element of treatment. During this phase, clients have stopped using drugs and they start to receive individualized and holistic treatment based on their needs until their withdrawal symptoms subside.
  • Phase 3: Foundation Setting Setting a foundation for further treatment is the final phase. This element occurs as soon as clients are comfortable and out of the worst part of withdrawal. It involves urging clients to be active participants in therapy so they can address the root cause of their addiction and prevent relapse.

The Dangers of Detox at Home

Although some individuals attempt to complete the alcohol detoxification or drug detoxification process on their own, it’s extremely unsafe to do this without medical supervision. Withdrawal affects everyone differently, and some examples of the symptoms and dangerous complications when detoxing from drugs can include:
When individuals stop taking addictive drugs or drinking alcohol, many experience withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms affect people in different ways and with varying severity. Medically supervised detox programs, like what we offer at Silver Pines, are vital to prevent serious issues stemming from withdrawal symptoms.
  • Body pain
  • Coma
  • Death
  • Fatigue
  • Heart attack
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Kidney Damage
  • Respiratory problems
  • Seizures
  • Sleepiness
  • Sweating
  • Tremors

Completing the detox process at a drug and alcohol detox center like Silver Pines ensures safety and helps individuals avoid life-threatening side effects throughout the entire withdrawal process.

How Long Does Detox Take?

There’s no set amount of time that it takes to complete addiction detox, as it varies based on many factors. It usually takes a person between 6 and 24 hours after their last use to start feeling withdrawal symptoms. The most intense side effects occur 24 to 72 hours after the last use of the drug. Additionally, the entire drug detox process may only take a couple of days for people with mild or moderate addictions; however, it could take weeks for people with severe addictions period. Even months after drug detoxification or alcohol detoxification, some individuals may still feel the effects of drug use and acute withdrawal, including anxiety, depression, and fatigue.

Our Holistic Detox Program

Our holistic drug and alcohol detox center offers drug detox, alcohol detox, and medical detox, incorporating medication-assisted treatment, holistic therapies, and more. After the detox process is complete, our residential treatment program includes some of the following evidence-based and experiential therapies:
