Drug & Alcohol Detox Program
If you’re struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, you know the power it can have. Even if you want to quit, the physical and mental hold can be too strong. Stopping the use of drugs and alcohol suddenly can cause severe, painful, and potentially life-threatening symptoms as your body adapts to no longer having substances.
The more severe the addiction, the more it affects brain chemistry. Serotonin and dopamine, two essential neurotransmitters that control emotional stability, can become imbalanced, leading to poor stress responses, mood swings, and unpleasant physical effects.
Entering an intensive drug and alcohol detox program provides safety and guidance to manage withdrawal symptoms with medications, monitoring, and support from medical staff. Once the symptoms are alleviated, you can move forward safely to learn techniques to manage the emotional and mental effects on the way to true sobriety.
Addiction recovery is possible.

What Is Drug &
Alcohol Detox?
Detox, also known as detoxification, is a medically assisted process to safely remove drugs and alcohol from your system and manage the symptoms of withdrawal. Stopping drugs or alcohol suddenly can cause life-threatening complications like seizures, stroke, or even death, which is why it’s important to work with a medical team.
No matter how committed you are to detox, NEVER try to stop suddenly on your own. It’s not a matter of willpower. Having the support and guidance of a medical team can help you stay comfortable during withdrawal and prevent potentially fatal complications.
How Long Does
Detox Take?
No detox experience is alike. The length and severity of detox depend on your use history, physical and mental health, family history, and any co-occurring disorders. Though withdrawal symptoms can be intense, they’re managed by medical professionals and may subside within a week.
Detox can be short, but that’s not the end of your recovery journey. Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a chronic condition, which means you will likely need additional rehab to address the lasting effects

The Stages
of Detox
The detox experience can be different for everyone, but the initial evaluation is similar. Patients are evaluated with mental and physical health assessments by a clinical care team to create a treatment plan. This includes the specific substances, duration of use, intensity of use, and patient medical history. Blood tests and a mental health evaluation may be included.
Patients are then stabilized as needed to prepare for the detox process and given an in-depth review of the treatments, possible side effects, and medications involved. Patients have the opportunity to ask questions and address any concerns in advance.
Possible Side Effects

The experiences and side effects of detox can be different for everyone as the body adjusts to the absence of substances.

Psyclarity Answers Your
Frequently Asked Questions
About Detoxing
The below are answers to commonly questions about detoxing prior to admission to a drug rehab center
Why Do I Need to Go to Detox Before I Enter a Treatment Program?
It is crucial that you detox prior to admission into a treatment program. The large majority of programs in San Diego require that participants enter their programs substance-free. Beginning your recovery program clean and clear of addictive substances allows you to be fully present for your recovery and focus on what is most important: healing.
How Long Does it Take to Detox?
The duration of detox is different for each individual. Detox may range from days to weeks, depending on the severity of the withdrawal symptoms, the type of substance, and how much of the substance is in your body.
Where Do I Go After I Finish Detoxing?
Post-detox, you will enter into a substance abuse treatment program. Your care team will refer you to the level of care that is the best fit for your needs.
It is important that you enter a treatment program immediately following detox to ensure that you have the best chance at recovery. A waiting period between detox and treatment is never advisable.
If You Relapse in Treatment, Do You Have to Go Back to Detox?
Whether or not you will need to be readmitted to detox depends on a multitude of factors. If you return to using while in treatment, speak with our clinicians to create a plan of action to get you back on track to recovery.
Will My Health Insurance Cover Rehab Programs?
Most major insurance providers cover admission into a detox center and the drug treatment services that follow. During your initial consultation, our admissions specialists will confirm your eligibility with your insurance provider.
If you or a loved one is suffering from substance use disorder, alcohol addiction, or dual diagnosis and requires detox prior to entering into an addiction treatment program, call and speak with a member of our team.
