4) Experienced Staff Members

Our team of licensed professionals has years of experience in treating addiction and providing medical detoxification services. We have seen many people through their entire recovery process, from their initial call to detox to our intensive therapy programs and beyond.

Purpose Healing Center’s team includes medical assistance providers, mental health professionals, case managers, and others. Many of our team members have been through addiction themselves and have come out on the other side.

5) Ongoing Support and Relapse Prevention:

Our medically supervised detox services are just the beginning of our comprehensive addiction treatment programs. We provide ongoing support and resources to help patients maintain their recovery long-term.

Even after addiction treatment is over, our relapse prevention and aftercare services can help you stay connected to the support system you built at Purpose Healing Center and stay anchored to support for remaining sober.

What to Expect During the Detox Process

Some of what to expect during the detox process depends on the substance use disorder you have or the prescription drugs or other substance(s) you are detoxing from. For example, alcohol withdrawal stomach pain can arise, as can seizures, which are different symptoms than those that typically present with withdrawal from stimulants.

The duration of drug and alcohol abuse, frequency of substance use, and other factors can also play a role.

What are the Most Common Withdrawal Symptoms During Detox?

Withdrawal symptoms can be both physical and mental. During the first stages of alcohol and drug detox, you may experience any of the following symptoms, which can differ in severity. Before or when you enter our Phoenix or Scottsdale detox center, we may ask questions about how much and how frequently you use substances to help gauge possible symptoms.

• Cravings.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Headaches.
• Chills or sweating.
• Depression or mood swings.
• High blood pressure and blood pressure changes.
• Shaking or trembling.
• Irritability or agitation.
• Heart palpitations.
• Hypertension.
• Goosebumps.
• Abdominal cramping.
• Insomnia.
• Confusion.
• Changes in pupil size.
• Body aches.
• Seizures.
• Paranoia.
• Fatigue.

We are here to help you restore your physical and mental health after substance abuse. Stays in detox facilities are usually very short, but the medical care and support they provide can be absolutely crucial.

What to Expect After Detox in a Medically Supervised Setting

After detox, it is highly recommended that you enter an addiction treatment program. Drug and alcohol detox programs are usually short, lasting for about 3-10 days, and they don’t address the underlying causes of addiction the way rehab programs for substance use disorders do.

Medical detox services are here to help you through the acute detox period. Some withdrawal symptoms can persist for longer, even if they aren’t physically dangerous. For example, prolonged mental health symptoms. Having a treatment team by your side matters.

Just as we offer detox for most substances, our post-detox treatment programs address all types and severity levels of substance abuse and common co-occurring concerns. 

Our Post-Detox Rehab Programs

Ongoing treatment at our alcohol and drug rehab in Arizona can help you avoid relapse, work through co-occurring dual diagnosis (mental health) issues, develop a strong set of coping skills, and rebuild your life. While detox is short-term, clients often stay in our inpatient or outpatient programs for 30, 60, or 90 days.

Since we offer a full continuum of care, it isn’t uncommon for clients to start out with a higher level of substance use disorder treatment (e.g., residential inpatient) and move down to a lower level of care, like our partial hospitalization program (PHP). This is called a “step-down” approach.

You’ll get a customized treatment plan designed to fit your needs. Most Purpose Healing Center clients engage in a combination of group, individual, and family therapy. Couples therapy or counseling is also offered via Zoom or in-person meetings. Other activities can include, but aren’t limited to, supportive recreation activities, medication management, and life skills.

You can transition into one of these programs once you are medically stable. Purpose Healing Center offers free intake assessments and tours so that we can get to know your needs and you can get to know our facilities. We’re here to help you decide on a level of care, verify your insurance coverage, or help out with anything else we can.

FAQs About Medical Detox

What is one of the first signs of withdrawal?

Some withdrawal symptoms depend on the substance. Common early signs of withdrawal include shaking or tremors, irritability, chills or sweating, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and heart palpitations. Oral medication and other treatments can be used to provide relief.

What is the meaning of detox therapy?

In substance abuse, detoxification or “detox” is the process of getting substances (drugs and alcohol) out of the body. Medical detox programs at a treatment center help you detox safely with a team of professionals present.

What is the side effect of detox?

Physical symptoms, mental health-related symptoms (e.g., mood swings, anxiety), and drug or alcohol cravings are all possible side effects of detox. Long-term or heavy substance use can lead to more severe withdrawals.

For the best recovery outcomes, medical care in a detox facility followed by ongoing substance use disorder treatment services is usually the preferred approach to treatment among medical and mental health professionals. While it takes time, healing is possible.

How soon do withdrawals from drugs and alcohol start?

Withdrawal symptoms can begin anywhere from hours to days after the last time you consumed a substance. The acute, or initial, detox period (where symptoms are most dangerous) can last from a few days to about a week.
