Basic Goals of Inpatient Treatment

When we start treatment, we aim to:

• Begin to develop the skills necessary to remain abstinent
• Help you understand and accept your addiction
• Stabilize you through aggressive treatment of the addiction and any associated medical and/or psychiatric problems

Evaluation

We first conduct a comprehensive assessment. Our team works together to develop a diagnosis and treatment plan. Our team includes physicians, physician assistants, nurses, psychologists, and substance abuse counselors.

Detoxification

Depending on their particular substance use disorder, some patients start with detoxification. This process removes the addictive substances from your body. You might experience withdrawal symptoms. We treat any symptoms immediately. Most patients complete detoxification within 5-7 days.

Our state-of-the-art facilities let us offer a safe and humane environment for detoxification. This environment helps lessen the symptoms of withdrawal. The length of stay depends on the substance you are addicted to and your medical condition.

Rehabilitation

After detoxification, you will probably move on to inpatient rehabilitation (rehab). This approach gives you 24/7 safe and structured treatment. In this stage, you enjoy a routine that teaches you how to experience life without drugs or alcohol. Our inpatient rehab program is 28 days long, but treatment is entirely voluntary and patients can leave at any time.

We believe family is essential to your recovery. Mending and building family relationships is key. And we encourage your family to be involved throughout treatment.
