True Life Recovery is a safe and compassionate medication-assisted detox center located in a peaceful community near the Pacific coast.
When you seek treatment for addiction, detox is the first step you will take. Drugs and alcohol addiction can change physical and psychological functioning. As a result, many people require professional help to get clean and learn how to live without drugs and alcohol. When someone is addicted to a substance and they stop using it, they will suffer from withdrawal symptoms because the body has become accustomed to functioning with the substance in its system. The body will crave more of the drug. If it doesn’t receive it, the brain goes into overdrive and the person will experience an extreme reversal of symptoms relative to the effects of the drug. The signs of withdrawal develop a short time after the user stops taking the drug and it affects the person’s body and mind until the body and brain stabilize. Detoxification, or detox for short, is the period of time that it takes for the body to get rid of the substance and return to normal. Detox of substances will begin to happen automatically once the user stops using, but the withdrawal symptoms can pose a risk to the person.

Medication-Assisted Detox Treatment Centers
Medication-assisted treatment and detox in San Diego involves the supervised weaning of a drug addict, using a substitute drug. Medically assisted detox programs are designed to assure a safe and medically supervised transition through the acute phase of withdrawal from drugs and/or alcohol.

Several medications have been found effective in treating addiction to opioids within Opioid Treatment programs including Methadone, Suboxone/Buprenorphine and Naltrexone.

Alcohol and Nicotine addiction treatment may also include medication assistance. The average medically assisted detox San Diego lasts between three and seven days, depending on the individual circumstances. Medical detox is only the first step of an addiction rehabilitation program. Experts believe the use of substitute drugs enables an addict to be in a better prepared to tackle the rest of the recovery process.

Medical detox in San Diego is a special process that is different from other types of detox. It involves medical personnel giving the patient a similar drug to the drug that he or she has been abusing, and gradually decreasing the doses. Medical professionals monitor this tapering process, and the patient is able to complete the process detox free or mostly free of withdrawal symptoms.

An inpatient rehabilitation and treatment facility provides the best setting for medical detoxification in San Diego. Many of these centers feature attractive accommodations, and they are situated in locales where the climate and the surroundings help the patient concentrate on recovery. These treatment centers attract experienced medical detoxification professionals in San Diego. The environment, combined with the level of training of the medical staff, ensures that the patient is kept comfortable and successfully treated and can overcome the physical addiction to drugs or alcohol as quickly as possible.

Medical detox programs in San Diego begin with on-site assessment. This determines the treatment and care required. It is followed by a detox tapering program San Diego that signifies how long the detox program will last, and the dosage of tapered detox medications. Detox withdrawals are different for everyone. For this reason, professional care that allows you to detox in a safe, controlled environment is vital.

A successful medically assisted detox should deal with a person's withdrawal symptoms within between one week and one month. Detoxification is the first step to recovery. Choose a safe, comfortable, and supervised drug or alcohol medically assisted detoxification in San Diego.
