The Alcohol and Drug Detox Process
Evaluation
Our professional medical staff will review the patient’s medical history, mental health, and history of addiciton. Doctors will run several different blood tests to determine the amount of drugs or alcohol present in the body. After a comprehensive review, the medical team will decide on what medications will be best suited. They will also develop a recommended long-term treatment plan.
Stabilization
After evaluation, the next step is to stabilize the patient with medications and therapy. The main goal in this step is to prevent any dangerous withdrawal symptoms from causing harm. In order to reduce the chance for any complications, doctors will prescribe addiction treatment medications and monitor their progress.
