Safely Detox From Addiction in Georgia

group of people talking at a Georgia addiction detox centerGetting clean and sober from drugs and alcohol takes more than willpower. Both the body and mind are involved in drug addiction, and both go through withdrawal when the addict no longer gets the substance they crave. That’s part of what makes detox so intimidating and fear-inducing for drug addicts, because of the anticipation of the physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing process of withdrawal. The good news is, you can and will get through detox with the help of our skilled addiction medicine specialists at Mount Sinai Wellness Center.

There are several approaches to successful detox, but it takes qualified medical professionals to help get the substances out of your system safely. Attempting to detox on your own, or going “cold turkey,” is highly discouraged and is actually dangerous, because abruptly stopping can be life-threatening. For example, people addicted to benzodiazepines or alcohol are at risk for seizures, alcoholics have a higher risk of delirium and vomiting, and heroin addicts may have cold flashes and uncontrolled leg movements.

We offer safe detox services for a wide range of substance addictions, including:

Common Withdrawal Symptoms

To avoid dangerous DIY detoxing methods, you should recognize basic withdrawal symptoms and understand what is needed to help your body adapt to the change slowly and methodically. Common withdrawal symptoms include:

  • Sweating
  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Irritability
  • Gastrointestinal (GI) distress
  • Muscles aches and spasms
  • Running nose
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Sleep disturbances

The Detoxing Process

At Mount Sinai Wellness Center, we have a medical detoxification program, which is different from stopping drugs or alcohol on your own. The difference between going cold turkey and participating in medical detox is that the latter is slower and more controlled. You won’t have to face excruciating withdrawal symptoms with no relief. Medical detox is medication-assisted, so you receive the medical care, medications, and emotional support you’ll need as you safely detox.

Detox looks different from one patient to the next, and there is no one-size-fits-all detox program, even for two people who used the same substance. At our medical detox center in Georgia, we will formulate a personalized plan for your detox, which is influenced by your overall physical health, the substance(s) you consumed, how often you used them, and how long you have been using them.

At Mount Sinai Wellness Center, we have a 3-stage approach to medical detox:

  1. Evaluation: When you first arrive at our drug rehab center, our specially trained nurses will carefully review your medical history, check your vitals, and examine if you’re going through symptoms of withdrawal. We will ask you detailed questions about which drug(s) you used, in what quantity, for how long, and if you used any drugs in combination. During your evaluation, your nurse will create a personalized detox program that will ensure your comfort and safety.
  2. Stabilization: During the detox phase, our team will continually check your vitals and monitor your neurological status. This is necessary because it ensures you don’t experience symptoms such as delirium, seizures, or high blood pressure.
  3. Transition: Detoxification is only the first step in your journey to sobriety. Once you leave detox, you still have to work diligently to maintain your sobriety during treatment. Our medical staff will create a thoughtful transition plan so you’re prepared to continue your recovery journey.

Safe, Evidence-Based Detox Methods You Need to Get Clean

Starting your journey to recovery may be intimidating, but the efforts you put into getting well will pay off once you are free from the chains of addiction. At Mount Sinai Wellness Center, we can help you detox in a safe way, and we take your comfort seriously. You don’t have to do this alone. Get in touch today to start your journey to a healthier you.
