DANA POINT, CA – SouthCoast Recovery, a state-licensed California drug rehab center, is pleased to announce operation its own state-licensed drug and alcohol detox facility.
Detox doesn’t have to be painful. Previously, clients admitted to SouthCoast Recovery were sent to an outside facility for detoxification procedures. With the addition of a state-licensed detox, clients are now admitted to a SouthCoast residential home specifically designed for medically supervised drug detox. “The addition of our detox facility is an exciting venture,” says Executive Director, Dennis Larkin. “We’re thrilled to be able to offer this component as another layer of support to our clients.”
Initial withdrawal during detox from alcohol or drugs can be physically distressing, painful and even dangerous. The goal is to stabilize and minimize the physical pain of withdrawal symptoms. Because a high relapse rate can be linked to an ineffective or painful detox, this specialized phase of drug and alcohol treatment provides another layer of continuity to the program. Clients are able to rest and relax while recuperating, but may also participate in the full breadth of the treatment program as their physical comfort allows.
Dr. Daniel Brockett, M.D., supervises each stage of a client’s detox. Clients are evaluated to determine the level of treatment and are prescribed medication, as necessary, to ease cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Clients receive 24-hour care in a comfortable residential home including regular blood pressure checks to ensure safe withdrawal. When clients are physically stable, one-on-one and group counseling are introduced along with educational materials. Nutritious meals are prepared on a daily basis. Herbal remedies may also be combined with natural healing components to help the body through withdrawal. Massage therapy may also be used to help release toxins during the detox phase.
This process doesn’t have to be painful. With the addition of its state-licensed, medically supervised drug and alcohol detox program, SouthCoast Recovery is now equipped to handle all stages of the recovery process. This personal attention allows clients to comfortably progress to the next level of recovery.
