At Seabrook, we offer a medically monitored withdrawal program to safely help our clients recover from using alcohol and other addictive chemicals. Upon admission, each client completes a physical exam, health history, and substance usage assessment with a physician. While detox might not be necessary for everyone, our medical and therapeutic teams will develop a plan to address your individual risk factors for withdrawal. Most of our clients spend 5-7 days in detox before continuing with our residential treatment or outpatient treatment programs.
In addition to 24-hour physician and nursing care, our program includes a comprehensive medical examination and nursing intake, alongside monitoring each patient’s physiological and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Appropriate interventions include medication-assisted treatment, mental status examinations, addiction education, relapse prevention, behavioral therapy and motivational counseling.
Detoxification is a precursor to treatment, and it begins with systematic withdrawal from the addictive substance. Depending on the severity of the addiction, physicians may recommend pharmacological intervention during detox. These managed medications help clients withdraw more comfortably from opiates, nicotine, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, alcohol and other sedatives. In some cases, detox is a medical necessity since untreated withdrawal may be medically dangerous or even fatal.
While the detox process can be uncomfortable, our trained staff are beside you around the clock to help minimize symptoms.
While detox is an important first step for many people seeking long-term recovery, it’s important to remember that it is just one part of the overall process. Residential treatment following detox addresses the psychological, emotional, social or behavioral problems associated with alcoholism and substance misuse.
Enhanced Safety: Clients undergoing detox receive close monitoring from our healthcare professionals, who work to minimize potential complications.
Effective Medication Management: Our medical team administers medications to alleviate discomfort, curb cravings, and address any emerging issues.
Personalized Care Plans: We craft individualized treatment strategies that consider each client’s unique circumstances, including their substance use history, overall health, and other relevant factors.
Continuous Vital Sign Monitoring: By regularly checking heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, we can swiftly identify and respond to any signs of distress.
Emotional and Psychological Support: Withdrawal often brings emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, or guilt. Our therapists provide guidance and support to help clients navigate the mental and emotional hurdles of detox.
Integrated Mental Health Care: When withdrawal is linked to underlying mental health conditions, our mental health professionals offer counseling and, if necessary, medications to address these symptoms.
