Welcome to a place where transformation begins—with us, you’re not just another client—you’re part of our family, embarking together on the path to a new life. Because We Care.
What To Expect in Medical Detox
Medical detox programs provide a safe and controlled environment for individuals to withdraw from substances, under the supervision of healthcare professionals. The detoxification process offers a comprehensive approach to treating addiction by addressing physical withdrawal symptoms with medical interventions while supporting emotional well-being through counseling and therapy.
These services greatly reduce the risks associated with withdrawal symptoms, which can range from uncomfortable to life-threatening. By choosing medical detox, guests receive personalized care tailored to their specific needs, ensuring that their withdrawal is as comfortable and safe as possible.
Medication-Assisted Detox
Our medication-assisted detox program is based on a clinical assessment of each guest, followed by an approved medical regimen. Following the completion of their medical evaluations, we tailor each medical detoxification treatment plan to our individual guest’s needs. As a result, this ensures maximum comfort through withdrawal and safe, effective tapering off of substances.
As guests enter medication-assisted detox, our 24/7 nursing staff provides around-the-clock supervision. Likewise, our support staff guarantees access to treatment resources if a guest’s primary therapist is unavailable.
Without professional supervision and medical monitoring, it is too easy for complications from withdrawal from drugs and/or alcohol to develop, which is why a safe, structured environment like ours is essential. Withdrawal is much more than the physical risks, however; once someone with a substance use disorder has tapered off substances, they must manage psychological risks. Continued support in a treatment setting is critical if the results of a medical detox are going to last, as detox is the first, most sensitive step toward recovery.
Length of Detox
In general, our detox program is a 4-8 day program. With that being said, we continue our medical detox services until the treatment is complete. The length of your stay in detox is dependent on many factors, including:
- Duration of drug or alcohol use
- Amount of drug or alcohol use
- Substance or substances you were using
- Physical health condition
- Need of medication-assisted detoxification with a medical taper
Our medical professionals will meet with each guest individually and perform medical evaluations. These assessments assist in determining the best course of action for detox. After, each guest is put on a medical detoxification protocol that addresses and treats his or her specific needs and circumstances. No part of our addiction treatment is generalized. Instead, we tailor our treatment plans to meet the needs and goals of each individual guest. For this reason, the length of our medical detox program is dependent on the personal factors of each guest.
Therapy in Detox
Therapy is an excellent example of risk management. During detox, our addiction therapists facilitate group and individual therapy sessions to help guests create individualized treatment plans. Royal Life Centers doesn’t believe in a “one size fits all” mentality. In fact, unlike other treatment facilities, we don’t pair our guests with pre-determined treatment tracks. Instead, we place special emphasis on creating unique plans that meet each individual’s needs and goals for recovery.
In medical detox, group therapy sessions prepare guests for the next phase in their treatment plan and help address underlying issues that contribute to substance use disorder. Our group therapy covers topics ranging from self-discovery and emotion management to life skills-building and relapse prevention. The group therapy model promotes peer accountability and introduces guest’s to new perspectives. Guests also participate in one-on-one counseling with their primary therapist.

Benefits of Medical Detox
One of the primary benefits of medical detox is the ability to manage withdrawal symptoms through medication. Healthcare professionals can prescribe medications that alleviate discomfort, reduce cravings, and treat any co-occurring mental health issues. This holistic approach not only addresses the physical aspects of addiction but also supports mental health, laying a solid foundation for recovery.
In addition to addressing physical symptoms, medical detox offers emotional and psychological support. Addiction specialists and counselors are available to provide therapy and support, helping individuals understand the root causes of their addiction. This supportive environment encourages open discussion about addiction challenges and coping strategies, promoting healing on an emotional level.
Being in a medically supervised setting also ensures that any complications arising during the detox process can be immediately addressed. The presence of medical staff around the clock offers peace of mind to both patients and their families, knowing that help is readily available at any moment.
