Top Rated Drug Detox Program in Toms River

Top Rated Drug Detox Program in Toms River

Drug addiction is a serious issue in the United States, with the opioid crisis, the over-prescription of benzodiazepines, and the prevalence of illicit drug use throughout the nation. Becoming addicted to drugs is not something that anybody wants. It usually starts out with casual use, trying drugs and alcohol out of curiosity, or because other people in your social circle are using it and they seem fine. Some people may begin to abuse their prescription medications by taking more than prescribed or otherwise using it in a way the doctor did not intend. Some prescription drugs can be addictive even when used as directed. Once the brain begins to become chemically dependent on the substance, you may find yourself craving the drug, or not feeling right when you try to stop taking it. This leads to behavioral changes that begin to interfere in your day-to-day life, resulting in addiction. Other common signs and symptoms of drug addiction include:

• Drugs becoming a priority in your life. You may begin to forego hobbies, sports, outings, and spending time with friends and family for drug use, or ignore the needs of others in order to spend more time using drugs
• You feel physical and psychological withdrawal when you try to stop taking the drug or cut back
• You have thoughts throughout the day about when you can next use the drug or experience drug cravings
• You begin to experience difficulties at work or school, trouble in your relationships and friendships, financial hardship or health issues due to drug use but continue to use it anyway

If these symptoms of alcohol and drug addiction sound familiar to you and you believe you may need help with your substance abuse, please contact the Quantum treatment center near Toms River today. We are happy to help you figure out the best strategy for your unique situation, so you can get the drug detox and addictions treatment you need in a safe and professional setting. At our drug rehab in Toms River, we not only offer safe and effective outpatient rehab programs, but we are also connected to detox and inpatient drug rehabs in your area, so you can get the entire continuum of care, with a good balance between evidence-based treatments and holistic treatments for a whole-patient approach to healing.

What Is Detox Like?

Detox is different for each patient, and it depends on the type of substance(s) you were using and the severity of your addiction, as well as your overall physical and mental health at the time. Some people experience mild withdrawal symptoms that can be managed through support and coaching in a safe sober environment, while others have a much more challenging time with severe or life-threatening withdrawal symptoms that require full-time medical care inside medical rehab centers staffed by medical doctors, nursing staff, and other care providers 24-hours a day.

What to Expect During Drug Detox?

Most patients undergoing detox in a rehab facility will move in full-time. This not only keeps you under the watchful eye of medical professionals to ensure you remain stable and safe, but it also removes you from your usual environment, away from potential enablers and temptations as your body removes the toxins from your system and your brain levels out its chemical balance. It also takes you out of the everyday stress and pressure you have been under, removing distractions so you can focus on your own well-being. The length of time you stay in inpatient detox depends on:

• Whether you were using more than one drug and/or alcohol together
• How much care you will need to stabilize your physical health
• Whether you require dual diagnosis care for a co-occurring mental health issue
• How long you were using the drug(s) and how much you were using each time

A medical detox facility will ensure each patient struggling with substance withdrawals remains as comfortable as possible, providing medications that will help you avoid issues like anxiety, seizures, pain, and nausea. You may also begin behavioral therapy, talk therapy and/or psychiatric care at this time.

Some rehab centers will provide a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program, with specific FDA-approved medications like methadone, suboxone, naloxone, vivitrol, disulfiram, acamprosate, or buprenorphine prescribed for longer-term tapering-off programs for opioid drugs, alcohol, and benzodiazepines, providing relief from symptoms like muscle and bone pain, severe anxiety, and cravings as the amount of medication is gradually reduced in a safe doctor-monitored schedule.

Detoxing is only the first step to a lifelong recovery, but it is an important one as it restores wellness and clarity to the mind, helping you return to your natural state, and preparing you to move forward into the appropriate inpatient and/or outpatient rehab centers in New Jersey for your customized, integrated substance abuse treatment.

Prescription Drugs

There are many different prescription drugs that have the potential for abuse and addiction, from benzos to opioids, so withdrawal symptoms will depend on which type(s) of prescription drugs you are abusing.

Acute Detox

An acute medical detox program for drug and alcohol detox is an intensive plan that incorporates full-time 24-hour medical care, as some withdrawal symptoms can escalate to dangerous degrees, with pain, stomach issues, seizures, delirium tremens, suicidal ideation and other issues having the potential to become deadly if left untreated. If you have severe withdrawal symptoms, you will be provided with medications, therapy, holistic treatments and other care to ensure you stay safe and comfortable, hydrated and well-nourished, with full support, dual diagnosis treatments, behavioral health care and other treatments as your body removes the toxins from your system so you can stabilize and begin the next phase of your substance abuse treatment plan.

Sub Acute Detox

Sub-acute detox programs are designed to help those who do not need 24-hour monitoring, while providing full support and substance abuse treatment in a customized program that lasts only as long as you need it to. Sub-acute detox is usually still inpatient treatment inside the recovery center because being away from drug dealers, old habits, and life’s stress will allow you to focus on your own wellness and healing without unnecessary distractions.
