Frequently Asked Questions
What is medical detox and why is it important?
Medical detox is the process of clearing substances from your body while managing withdrawal symptoms with medical support. It’s important because withdrawing from certain substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines without professional help can be dangerous and uncomfortable. At Simonds Recovery Centers, we monitor clients around the clock, ensuring their safety and minimizing withdrawal discomfort. Our medical detox program in Los Angeles provides the necessary care to start your recovery on the right foot, offering medical supervision to prevent complications and ease you through the process.
How long does detox take?
The length of detox depends on the substance, the level of dependency, and individual health factors. Most detox programs last between 5-7 days, though some clients may need more time for a complete detox. At Simonds Recovery Centers, our medical staff will assess your situation and create a customized detox plan that suits your specific needs. We provide 24/7 medical support to ensure a safe, effective detox and prepare you for the next steps in your recovery.
Is detox painful?
Withdrawal symptoms can be uncomfortable, but with medical detox, our team works to manage those symptoms and make the process as comfortable as possible. You may experience sweating, nausea, anxiety, or tremors depending on the substance, but at Simonds Recovery Centers, our detox program offers medications and holistic therapies to ease these symptoms, making the detox process safer and more tolerable.
Can detox alone treat addiction?
While detox is a crucial first step in recovery, it’s only the beginning. Detox clears the body of substances, but it doesn’t address the underlying emotional, psychological, or behavioral issues that contribute to addiction. That’s why, after detox, it’s important to transition into a comprehensive treatment program like the ones offered at Simonds Recovery Centers in Los Angeles, where therapy, counseling, and support help you maintain long-term sobriety.
What happens after detox?
After completing medical detox, clients are encouraged to continue their recovery through inpatient or outpatient treatment. At Simonds Recovery Centers, we offer both options, along with a range of therapies like CBT, DBT, and holistic treatments to support your mental, emotional, and physical recovery. Detox lays the foundation for a sober life, but continued care is essential for maintaining lasting sobriety.
