Detox Program
Get the support you need to detox from drugs and alcohol.
Deciding to stop taking an addictive substance can be scary, but you don’t have to do it alone. The staff at KeyStone Center helps you get on the road to recovery. We help you safely and effectively detox from addictive substances, including alcohol and drugs, such as opioids, cocaine and xylazine (or “tranq”). We offer individualized care to help you through this process.
Drug and Alcohol Detox at KeyStone Center: Why Choose Us?
At our detox center, we provide a comfortable and supportive environment for you to clear the addictive substance from your body. Highlights of our program include:
- Medically supervised detoxification: A physician, nurse practitioner and psychiatrist help you stop taking the substance safely. They manage withdrawal symptoms, such as sweating, insomnia, tremor and cravings for the substance.
- Individualized treatment: Our medical providers assess your situation and recommend an appropriate detoxification protocol. Your treatment is tailored to your needs.
- Focus on comfort: Your doctor prescribes medications, such as buprenorphine (Subutex) and lorazepam (Ativan®), to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout detoxification. The goal is to ease the process while reducing the risk of undesirable outcomes.
- Mental health treatment: We provide treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders, including major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder. You may receive a psychiatric evaluation, as well as individual and group/family therapy.
Medical Detox: What to Expect
Our inpatient detox program lasts between five and eight days. Here’s what you can expect throughout the process:
- Intake: Upon arrival, you meet with a nurse who assesses and diagnoses the severity of your substance withdrawal.
- Physical: Next, medical providers take your health history and perform a physical.
- Treatment plan: Within 24 hours, you meet with a psychiatrist who recommends a detox protocol for you. Your comfort meds may include Subutex and Ativan.
- Daily check-ins: Our engagement specialist takes you through orientation and checks in on you daily. They can also help you apply for benefits.
- 24/7 care: For your safety, you are medically monitored around the clock. Your vital signs are taken every four hours.
- Optional group therapy: During your stay, you can attend group therapy sessions, but they are not required.
- Next steps: Once your detoxification is complete, you may begin one of our inpatient programs, such as our Freedom Program or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Program.
