Medically Monitored Detox at Banyan Treatment Centers

There are many steps to recovery, and detoxification is perhaps the most pivotal. During detox, patients release their bodies from the physical and chemical controls of drugs and alcohol. Detoxing from drugs and even alcohol is not just a mental process but also a biological challenge. This process can be emotionally and physically exhausting...or even dangerous, which is why it is important to pursue a medically supervised detox with the help of clinical professionals.

Safe, Comfortable, Medically Monitored Detox

At many of our Banyan treatment center locations, we provide medically monitored detox for a variety of substances. With a medical detox program, patients are given round-the-clock care throughout their stay, ensuring that dangerous withdrawals are properly treated for utmost patient safety.

If you are seeking comfortable and safe detoxification options, medically supervised detox should be your first choice.

Our detox services and staff provide 24/7 assistance for the mind, body, and spirit. Medically monitored detox is one of the safest and most comfortable options for alcohol or drug detox.

What Makes Medically Monitored Detox Different?

Medically monitored detox is different from other detoxification options, as it includes licensed medical professionals involved throughout the process. Our Banyan Treatment Centers Detoxification Program includes monitoring and supervision from clinical professionals, who will ensure all issues and symptoms can be medically managed throughout the detox process. They can administer medications and treatments to mitigate withdrawals and ensure patient safety. We want each patient to have the most comfortable and safest detox process possible, which is why we provide personalized and medically monitored detoxification for a variety of substances.

Our medical detox services include:

  • Heroin Detox
  • Alcohol Detox
  • Opiate Detox
  • Prescription Pill Detox
  • Benzo Detox
  • Cocaine Detox
  • Meth Detox

Different substances bring different withdrawals during detoxification. Some substances can take longer and be more dangerous than others during the detox process. For some substances, detoxing at one of our addiction facilities is imperative. Alcohol, for example, can produce withdrawal symptoms that are incredibly uncomfortable and even life-threatening. Without the right support and monitoring during detox, withdrawals can become deadly. However, for patients receiving care at one of our medical detoxification programs, any dangerous withdrawals will be immediately addressed by the right medical professionals to preserve patient comfort and health.

How Long Does Detox Take?

The detox process varies from person to person. There are a variety of factors that can influence the duration of the detox and the symptoms experienced. Patient age, health, and the number of substances used can influence the severity of detox. Additional factors, such as whether a patient has detoxed before, are also influential in the detox process.

Symptoms may include:

  • Digestive issues
  • Anxiety
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Excessive sweating
  • Depression
  • Tremors
  • Confusion
  • Stroke

Withdrawals can vary from one person to the next. However, with medically monitored detox, patients can rest assured that they are receiving the necessary support for their safety, health, and sobriety. Typically, withdrawal symptoms start gradually. For some substances, such as heroin, withdrawals can develop within a few hours since the last use. Other substances may take longer in terms of withdrawals. With most substances, withdrawals peak a few days after the last use and then subside. For most patients, the detox process only lasts a few days.

What Happens After Detox?

Detox addresses the physical and chemical controls of drugs and alcohol, but it is not the only step in finding sobriety. The behavioral patterns, choices, and any situations that fed into one’s addiction must also be addressed. At Banyan Treatment Centers, we provide a variety of treatment approaches to address the emotional and mental aspects of addiction, alcoholism, and substance abuse. We provide Detox, Residential, PHP, IOP, OP, and alumni treatment options.

Each of these options is designed to give people from all walks of life a chance to heal from their substance use disorders. They will be given the tools to not only achieve sobriety but maintain it as well. There is so much more to life than drugs and alcohol, and we hope to help each of our patients realize this fact.
