Orange County’s Premiere Drug Detox Facility

Research by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration on data collected in 2015 indicates that almost 23 million Americans aged 12 years and older sought drug or alcohol treatments for abuse. This number, while certainly shocking, has been on the rise in recent years, contributing to the explosion of drug and alcohol detox centers nationwide. Coastline Behavioral Health is Southern California’s premiere recovery center, treating addicts seeking life-long sobriety.

For many longing for addiction recovery, professional drug and alcohol detox programs are the first step. The process of drug and alcohol detox helps addicts rid their systems of chemical dependency such as alcohol, heroin abuse, and meth addictions. Trying to successfully detox without medical support is almost impossible for most individuals. The extreme symptoms of withdrawal, accompanied by extreme cravings, can make going ‘cold turkey’ unbearable. Coastline Rehab Centers provide inpatient and outpatient programs to help the transition from detox to sober living become a reality. When you suspect a loved one needs treatment for opiate addiction, drug and alcohol detox is the first step towards recovery.

Drug Detox Options

When considering a specific detox facility for drug or alcohol abuse, the options can seem overwhelming and sometimes confusing. It is important to re-evaluate the individual client’s needs and requirements by asking a series of questions. The level of detox success and continuing care might well be determined by this one decision. Here are a few of the questions one should consider carefully when making a choice:

  • Does this detox center accept my current insurance?
  • Will I be able to continue working while in detox?
  • How long will my detox treatment last?
  • Will I have help during the admissions process?
  • Can I bring my phone and maintain contact with my family and friends?
  • How do I deal with my food issues?
  • Are there special amenities I should be aware of?
  • Will I have access to 24/7 care?

Should the individual’s situation allow, touring facilities and speaking directly with medical professionals can help ease the transition and alleviate fears. Selecting a facility with similar values and beliefs can also aid the process. If care is being pre-screened for a loved one, it might be valuable to speak to some success stories, as the process of admitting a family member for detox can be emotionally taxing, causing guilt. Knowing and reminding oneself of the goal can keep the situation from becoming overwhelming.

Three Steps of Drug and Alcohol Detox

Drug and Alcohol Detox consists of three important steps which include initial evaluation, patient stabilization, and transitioning to continuing treatment programs. Each step is timed and initiated when the last has been completed successfully. Understanding each step and its importance can help clients and their families better deal with the process.

Evaluation Prior to Detoxification Program

This first step of drug and alcohol detox will entail the gathering of relevant medical and emotional issues pertaining to the substance abuse. Procedures such as blood draws and complete health physicals will be done, including a mental health evaluation. Assessments of both social situations and individual’s psychological state will be done. A complete risk assessment to try and predict the severity of withdrawal symptoms depending on specific addiction will be completed by supervising medical personnel.

During this initial evaluation, the client will be on their own, required to fill out necessary medical forms and complete their initial intake evaluations. The reason for this is multi-fold, but on a very basic level, clients are to take responsibility for their addiction and be their own advocates. This will become a central theme for individuals as they progress through inpatient drug recovery programs.

Stabilization During Drug and Alcohol Detox

The second step of drug and alcohol detox involves stabilizing clients as their bodies go through withdrawal. Depending on the severity of the addiction, and the substance abuse, this process can vary greatly in different individuals. Clients will need support in the form of medications used to address withdrawal symptoms. In alcoholism treatment center programs, the use of Benzodiazepines for detoxification is quite common. When seeking drug and alcohol from opiates, opioid antagonists and other antagonist drugs are used in conjunction with benzos.

It is also important during this step of detox to address dietary and nutritional deficiencies that may contribute to addiction, malnutrition, and withdrawal symptoms. Vitamins B, C, and E have all proven to help the body rebuild itself. Counseling may begin during this process, allowing for open dialog regarding continuing treatment programs available. Also, the inclusion of friends and family members who have supported your addiction recovery program is encouraged.

Transitioning to Inpatient Drug Rehab

Lastly, it is important that you are honest with yourself and your support group about how you are doing. Drug addiction requires lying, and most recovering addicts struggle to learn to live their lives above board. True recovery from addictions requires complete transparency and total honesty. To have a real chance to affect change in your life long term, your entire support system needs to know what you are walking through each day. Following drug and alcohol detox, individuals will need to maintain accountability partnerships.

Many recovering addicts make the mistake of focusing on the truth about the people in their lives that contributed to their addiction. This is backward thinking, and will not bring true healing. For you to have recovery, you need to focus 100% of your emotional, physical, and psychological energy on yourself and your own missteps. This is often a very difficult step for addicts, as many have developed highly honed lying skills throughout their time as users.

Common Alcohol and Drug Withdrawal Symptoms

As stated above, the severity of alcohol and drug withdrawal symptoms will depend on the length and severity of the abuse, as well as the type of substance addiction involved. In most cases, the onset of alcohol withdrawal symptoms will start within the first 12 hours since use. These immediate symptoms usually last for about 14 days, but some may experience symptoms for months. Some of the common withdrawal symptoms from drug and alcohol include:

  • Extreme irritability, anxiety and panic attacks
  • Mood swings, often accompanied by depression
  • Muscle aches and joint pain, headaches, shaking, clammy skin, and insomnia
  • Nausea, vomiting, and fever
  • Hallucinations, visual and auditory

Rapid Drug and Alcohol Detox for Substance Abuse

Over the past decade, the process of rapid detox has become more prevalent. This type of detoxification requires inpatient admission to an appropriate medical facility equipped to deal with the specific needs of clients in treatment. Much more extreme than traditional drug detoxification, rapid detox takes 24 hours instead of 14 days. Individuals are under anesthesia while medications flush out their system quickly. The process would be painful and unsafe if awake, so being under allows the withdrawal symptoms to be managed medically without trauma.

This type of opiate detox is not recommended for every addict, and care should be taken when considering this option. Some in the medical field have questioned the safety and so finding Southern California recovery centers that provide this as an option may be harder to find. At Coastline Rehab Centers, we are available to answer all of your questions and concerns regarding the detox process. Give us a call today and let us get help get you on the right path.
