Alta Mira Drug Detox Center

Detoxification, known commonly as ‘detox,’ is the process of repairing one’s physical health from the destructive aspects of drug addiction and preparing for an extended course of rehabilitation. For individuals addicted to opioids, benzodiazepines or alcohol—drugs that cause severe physical dependence—detoxification is often the first and most important step in the road to recovery.

When detox is performed in a inpatient or residential setting, the drug user is removed from any environmental triggers that may lead to relapse. In cases of physical dependence (when a person requires a drug to function normally), individuals can receive cross-tolerant medications to ease their withdrawal symptoms and stabilize their condition.

Detox services that meet your needs

If you are searching for a drug rehabilitation center with comprehensive clinical services, on-site drug detox can be a very important factor to consider. Alta Mira has a fully equipped drug detox center staffed by a highly credentialed team of medical professionals. We provide advanced detox treatment for individuals suffering from addiction to alcohol, opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cocaine, stimulants and hallucinogens. Alta Mira is authorized to treat opioid dependence with buprenorphine.

Every client’s situation is different, but whatever the case, our staff is committed to making each person as comfortable as possible while he or she is freed from their dependency and restored to good health.

From detox to rehabilitation

Of course, detox is just the first step toward recovery. Once the individual has stabilized, the work of rehabilitation can begin in earnest. At Alta Mira we believe that effective care for drug addiction must treat the whole person: mind, body and soul. In addition to providing advanced clinical care, individual counseling and 12-step group therapy, we offer access to a number of experiential therapies (including adventure and equine-assisted therapy) and holistic services (tai chi, yoga and guided meditation, to name a few).

Our experience has taught us that drug use is often a way of treating or hiding an underlying mental health problem. For this reason, we consider dual diagnosis to be a high priority from the very beginning of treatment. At intake, we conduct a battery of tests in order to get an accurate picture of each client’s mental health. Residents with dual diagnoses receive parallel treatment plans for both their addiction and mental health issue.
