If you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, the first step to a successful recovery is detoxification (detox). During detox, you will clear your body of any substances and start the process of overcoming your physical dependence on drugs or alcohol.
Drug and alcohol detox is intended to help relieve the physical symptoms of withdrawal and prepare you for entry into an addiction or dual diagnosis treatment center or drug rehab. The ultimate goal of detox is to prepare you for long-term sobriety and a successful recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Detox from alcohol or drugs can be an uncomfortable process, but at Clearview’s detox center in Los Angeles and Venice Beach, our trained detox specialist and compassionate staff will ensure that you get the care and support you need to be as comfortable as possible through the detox process.
Alcohol Detox
Alcohol detox can cause a variety of physical symptoms and psychological side effects. The process of detoxification from alcohol can be traumatic, and can trigger such detox symptoms as tremors (the shakes), headaches, vomiting, perspiration, restlessness, loss of appetite, and insomnia. More serious side effects of alcohol detox can be Delirium Tremors (DTs), autonomic hyperactivity, and seizures or convulsions.
Alcohol detox takes from three to 10 days. A variety of medications and procedures are often used to help you successfully detox from alcohol. Our alcohol detox program will ensure that you receive state-of-the-art detox at our comfortable residential treatment center.
Drug Detox
Drug detox can result in severe withdrawal symptoms, which may be worse the longer you’ve been addicted. The symptoms of detox from drugs include sweating, shaking, headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, insomnia, confusion, agitation, depression, anxiety, and other behavioral changes.
Drug detox takes from three to seven days. The process of drug detox at our residential treatment center will include closely monitoring your vital signs, supportive care, and medications. Our drug detox center uses the most up-to-date methods to ensure you get the care you need.
