Gentle Detox for Addiction Rehabilitation
At Honest Desire, Detox is Phase One of our Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program. Instead of checking into a hospital, we provide our clients with a beautiful therapeutic environment. It is important to recognize that detoxification means successfully removing drugs and alcohol from your body safely. Many treatment centers replace one drug for another. Honest Desire gets you off drugs. At Honest Desire we practice Gentle Detox, a medical regimen of newly available antitoxins that combat the symptoms of chemical withdrawal that dramatically reduce painful side effects. Withdrawal at Honest Desire is achieved with a very minimum of discomfort using Easy Detox™, our proprietary medical and therapy protocols.
What is Alcohol and Drug Detox?
In short, detoxification is the process through which your body rids itself of all traces of the alcohol or drug. It sounds simple, but over the use of a substance, your body and mind both become dependent on that substance. Because of this, both mind and body can react badly when the substance is taken away. Detoxification is the first step in any addict’s path to sobriety. Whether it is an alcohol or substance dependency, detox is necessary before any other treatment can begin. However, it is also the roadblock that stands between many addicts and their recovery. They know that it is difficult, that it is uncomfortable, and sometimes painful, and this makes some wary of the whole process. They may have even experience the first withdrawals when trying to quite drugs or alcohol alone, and they know exactly what it is going to feel like. The doctors at Honest Desire know that this is a difficult process and have tools to help their patients deal with the symptoms effectively.
What Happens during Alcohol/Drug Detox?
The length of the detox period depends on the specific person, but it can be anywhere from a few days to a week. As the body processes the remnants of the drug, it can react in many different ways. Once you enter the rehab facility, a doctor while evaluate you and create detoxification plan that will make the process as quick and painless as possible. Some doctors in some facilities will prescribe a medication like methadone to help narcotics users come off the drug more quickly. They may also provide other medications to mitigate the typical symptoms of withdrawal. Throughout detox, your doctor will ensure that you are taken care of, that you are safe, and that the withdrawal and detoxification period is not more than you can handle.
Why is Detox Necessary?
Obviously, you have to stop using drugs or alcohol if you want to enter treatment. For that reason alone, detox is an essential step. However, it also provides psychological benefits, in addition to the physical ones. While some programs may step you off the drug, slowly, giving your body time to adjust to the lower and lower dosage of substance, most doctors still believe that going cold turkey, completely shutting off the drug, will provide you not only with the cleanest slate possible, but also a lasting impression that will carry you through recovery and help prevent relapse. The feeling of clarity after detox is over is one that many former addicts carry with them to remind them why they never want to return to addiction.
When you enter Honest Desire Treatment Centers, the Detox protocol most appropriate for you will be discussed with our highly trained physicians, experienced counselors and a personalized therapist, and an agenda will be designed to provide you with the most effective personalized course of action for you. Nevertheless, at Honest Desire Treatment Centers, we provide a complete four (4) phases program with all the necessary tools for you that produces our remarkable high rate of success. With the greatly reduced side effects of withdrawal due to our caring medical Detox protocols, we provide one of the best, and easiest roads to a successful recovery from drugs and alcohol addiction at one of the loveliest facilities in the country.
I met some of the most amazing people at Honest Desire. Somehow the people here have connected with me. I never assumed I would be sad to leave Honest Desire, but it changed my life and it can change yours too.

The holistic approach and expressive therapies helped me to integrate the information on a far deeper level. My therapist pushed me gently but firmly toward true understanding of myself and my disorder.
