Drug Addiction

Drug Detox

Detoxification is a medically supervised treatment programme for alcohol or drug addiction designed to purge the body of intoxicating or addictive substances. It is usually the first step in overcoming addiction. For more information on detox, please click here.

The process usually lasts a minimum few days up to a few weeks depending on the type of drugs taken, the amounts, the way it has been administered and the length of time the patient has been using. Detoxification often involves prescribing different medications to help reduce withdrawal symptoms.

Detoxification is the simplest and most straightforward aspect of the treatment: it is the learning process associated with staying off drugs which proves to be the most traumatic episode. That is when our residential programme becomes so effective.
