Medically Supervised Detox in Glendale, CA

Supervised Detoxification is a crucial first step towards substance abuse recovery for those individuals who are struggling with substance abuse addiction to alcohol, prescription pills, or illegal street drugs. This process, also known as detox or withdrawal treatment, is accomplished in a medically supervised environment where there is good support. Detoxification involves clearing of toxins from the body of the patient who is acutely intoxicated and/or dependent on substances of abuse. Detoxification seeks to minimize the physical harm caused by the abuse of substances. It is an essential step towards achieving a healthier and sober lifestyle.

Supervised Detoxification is a set of interventions directed toward managing acute intoxication and withdrawal of drugs and/or alcohol. It is crucial to understand that supervised detoxification can prevent potentially life-threatening complications that may arise if a patient is left untreated. In addition to preventing life-threatening complications, detoxification can also serve as a form of palliative care for those seeking abstinence or who are required to abstain due to hospitalization or legal involvement.

Moreover, detoxification can serve as the first point of contact with the treatment system and the initial step towards recovery for some patients. However, it is important to note that substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation involve a range of ongoing therapeutic services aimed at promoting long-term recovery for substance abuse patients. By reducing the intensity of the disorder, detoxification can help patients manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.

Process #1: Evaluation

Evaluation of substance abuse involves various procedures such as testing for the presence of drugs in the bloodstream, measuring their concentration, and screening for any co-occurring mental and physical conditions. In addition to testing for substance abuse, evaluation also involves a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s mental, physical and psychological conditions, as well as their social situation. The information gathered during evaluation is crucial in determining the appropriate level of treatment following supervised detoxification. Essentially, the evaluation serves as the basis for the initial substance abuse treatment plan once the patient has successfully completed withdrawal. This ensures that the patient receives the most effective treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.

Process #2: Stabilization

The process of stabilization is essential in providing medical and psychosocial support to patients during their acute intoxication and withdrawal stage. The aim is to help them attain a substance-free state while receiving full support to ensure their overall well-being. Stabilization is typically achieved with the help of medications, although some detoxification approaches do not involve medication. During this process, patients are also educated about what to expect in the treatment environment and their role in the treatment and recovery process. Practitioners also involve the patient’s family, employers, and other significant individuals during this time, as appropriate and with the patient’s consent to release confidentiality. This helps to ensure that the patient receives the necessary support and resources to aid in their recovery process.

Process #3: Advancement

Advancing the patient’s entry into treatment is a crucial step towards recovery. It involves preparing the patient for the complete substance abuse treatment continuum of care and emphasizing the importance of following through with it. A written treatment contract can be beneficial for patients who have a history of completing detoxification services but failing to engage in substance abuse treatment. The treatment contract is a voluntary agreement that patients can sign at the beginning of their treatment. It is not legally binding, but it serves as a commitment to participate in a continuing care plan. The contract includes details that are established prior to the completion of detoxification, ensuring that the patient has a clear plan with the best opportunity to learn, change and live happy, healthy lives free from addiction.
When it comes to detoxification, we have trained our staff to remember that each patient needs compassion and understanding. At Rise in Glendale Sobriety Center, we strongly believe that by treating each patient with respect and showing that we care about their future, we can help them feel more comfortable and confident in following our recommendations. We strive to provide exceptional care for our patients. We prioritize their well-being to ensure a successful detoxification process for both the patient and our staff. Our ultimate objective is to assist our patients in achieving a healthier and happier life.
