Detox services at Southcoast are available for adults age 18 and older who are suffering from substance use disorders and are ready to take the first steps toward recovery.
Each prospective patient completes a thorough evaluation before entering our detoxification program. The information our team gathers during the evaluation helps us decide which of our services can lead to the best outcomes. This information also helps us determine whether the patient could benefit from receiving medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which combines the use of medications like methadone and Suboxone with counseling to comprehensively treat those who have opioid addictions. While receiving detox services, patients can take part in therapeutic programming, which includes evidence-based therapies delivered by our team of mental health professionals. Once a patient has completed the detox process, they can move to our inpatient program to continue addiction treatment. There, we can help them develop skills and strategies designed to support them as they progress on their recovery journey.

When you decide to take that brave first step to overcoming your addiction, detox is where you begin. You have to get the drugs out of your system before you can begin the rest of the healing process. Detoxing is actually a natural process — when you stop taking drugs, they will exit your system within a few days. As long as you do not put any drugs back in, you will be cleansed. In the throes of an active addiction, you continue putting your substance of choice into your body and never let it exit entirely. After some time, your body and brain learn to function with a certain level of that particular substance at all times. When you start to feel any withdrawal symptoms, like a headache, anxiety, tremors or anything that makes you uncomfortable, you reach for another dose, and those physical feelings go away. However, doing so adds to the cycle of addiction. The key is to get through those withdrawal feelings without taking another dose of drugs, and addiction makes that nearly impossible to do on your own. That’s why our detox staff at Tranquil Shores is here to help you get through the process safely.
