Commonly asked questions

Detoxification is a set of interventions aimed at managing acute intoxication and withdrawal. Detoxification is the initial step in the process of substance abuse treatment. This process incorporates safely removing toxins from the body, while effectively treating and managing withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision. The detoxification process is necessary as it manages one’s physical dependence on substances thus making it easier to focus upon long-term recovery.
Withdrawal refers to the process that your body goes through when you try to stop taking drugs or alcohol. When you take drugs or alcohol your brain and body adapts to the presence of these substances in your system. Over time, your body will get used to them. If you were to then stop or significantly reduce your use of the substance, you might experience a range of unpleasant and at times dangerous withdrawal symptoms.
The aim of withdrawal management is to treat the unpleasant and at times life-threatening clinical features of withdrawal, to prevent complications, and to enable the planning of ongoing treatment after the withdrawal process has subsided. Withdrawal symptoms are managed through a combination of medical supervision, medication intervention (when appropriate), psychotherapy, and support. Our team at Refine Recovery ensures each individual safety and comfort during this challenging phase of the treatment process 

Detox is different for each person and their individual circumstances. For this reason, the detoxification treatment period also depends upon several factors including:

  • Types of substances used
  • The frequency of drug or alcohol abuse
  • Medical history and any current health conditions

Therefore, the length of the detoxification process will vary for each individual, typically lasting from a few days to at times a week or more if required. The treatment team at Refine Recovery seeks to customize the detoxification plan for each individual based upon their unique needs.

Withdrawal from alcohol and other drugs can be managed in a variety of clinical and community based settings depending upon the individual’s needs and circumstances, associated health risks, and the severity of withdrawal symptoms. 

Inpatient detox involves staying at a treatment facility for a period of time under constant medical supervision, while outpatient detox allows you to reside within your home environment while receiving care. The suitability for one option or the other will depend upon the severity of the addiction process, an individual’s support system, and one’s personal commitment. The treatment team at Refine Recovery can help to assess which option suits your individual needs most effectively.
