Detox is an important step in treating many dangerous addictions. At The Guest House, our detox program allows you to begin the process of healing in a safe and comfortable environment.
What Is A Detox Program?
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) 45 describes detoxification as a “set of interventions aimed at managing acute intoxication and withdrawal.” Its purpose is to clear toxins from the body and make withdrawal more safe.
Detox programs can look vastly different from facility to facility. If possible, try to research as much as you can before entering detox to find a program that will work best for you.
Detox Program at The Guest House
At The Guest House, our detox program offers unique comfort and high levels of care. We’re here to help you improve your withdrawal symptoms while making sure you’re safe and comfortable.
We understand that entering detox can be a frightening decision and can sometimes be treated like a bad word. Many of our guests have even tried detox at other facilities before coming to our program. You can rest assured knowing that we are here to put our guests’ needs, safety, and overall well-being over anything else.
A Safe Environment
Our top priority at The Guest House is to provide a safe space. Our licensed medical staff is available around-the-clock, delivering our unique blend of holistic and clinical care. We aim to help you heal your mind, body, and spirit together as one.
In detox, it’s important that you are in an environment that supports your recovery. According to the Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, external stimuli, like distractions, can lead individuals to “repeat drug use or relapse after a period of abstinence.” At The Guest House, these distractions and temptations are removed so you can be fully focused on your recovery.
During Detox
Upon arrival at The Guest House, we thoroughly assess each guest so we can create a treatment plan that will suit their needs best. Then, once settled in a private room, all guests will have access to 24/7 treatment, specialty care and emergency services, chef-prepared meals, mental health treatment, and medication services.
The length of stay for most guests is usually between five and ten days. This can vary from person to person, depending on the type of substances used and frequency of use.
After Detox
Residential treatment is the most common next step after detox. You will receive care on our beautiful 52-acre estate, where you can discover the therapies that work best for you.
At The Guest House, we put an emphasis on individualized care by offering a wide variety of holistic programs and activities, like equine therapy, adventure therapy, somatic healing, and more. Here, you’ll be able to re-discover the joys in life on your way to lasting recovery.
“Detox” can often be a frightening word. In actuality, this is a very normal and helpful part of the addiction treatment process. At The Guest House, our detox program will provide you with comfort and safety during your stay. We offer high amenities in a private setting where distractions will be removed. Our highly-trained staff will be available 24/7, giving you the care you need to heal physically, mentally, and spiritually. For more information, call us today at (855) 483-7800.
