A Safer Way to Start Recovery
Detox isn’t just about clearing substances from the body—it’s about creating a stable starting point for recovery. Medically assisted detox involves the use of FDA-approved medications and compassionate care to ease withdrawal symptoms, address cravings, and prevent complications. This approach is especially important for clients detoxing from substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, which can cause severe or dangerous withdrawal effects. At Next Step Recovery, every detail is designed to help clients feel safe and supported as they take this important step.
How the Medical Team Supports You
The detox process is about more than managing symptoms—it’s about caring for the whole person. Our highly trained medical team provide:
Throughout detox, clients are closely monitored. Our team manages withdrawal symptoms like nausea, anxiety, and restlessness, providing the right interventions at the right time. If complications arise, immediate care is available to keep clients stable. By addressing both physical and emotional challenges, our team creates an environment where clients feel cared for, valued, and ready to move forward.
How Medications Are Used in the Detox Process
Medications are used thoughtfully and strategically to help clients manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. For example, buprenorphine can ease opioid withdrawal, while other medications stabilize clients detoxing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, reducing the risk of complications like seizures. These treatments provide physical relief and emotional stability, making the detox process less overwhelming.
Additionally, some medications are used to reduce cravings and support long-term recovery. Naltrexone, for instance, blocks the effects of alcohol or opioids, helping clients stay focused on their healing journey. Every medication is part of a carefully crafted plan that adapts to each client’s progress.
Who’s a Candidate for Medically Assisted Detox?
Medically assisted detox is ideal for those who need additional support to navigate the challenges of withdrawal. This includes people detoxing from substances with intense or dangerous withdrawal effects, such as alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines.
