Detoxification Program

Alcohol and drug detoxification is the first step in safely treating an individual with a substance use disorder.

Individuals that have been using substances often experience uncomfortable and at times potentially lethal withdrawal symptoms that require detoxification at a facility before they can be fully integrated into a long-term drug and alcohol residential rehabilitation treatment program.

Akua strives to create a safe space so clients can be closely monitored and supported through the withdrawal process. Our Physicians oversee all steps of the detox process to ensure comfort and safety while our team of capable nurses and clinical staff ensure that an individual has timely medication, a healthy diet, music therapy, meditation, yoga, and much more to ensure withdrawal symptoms the client experiences are as comfortable as possible.

Detox Treatment Program Modalities

Everyone’s detox needs are different; therefore, Akua’s integrative drug and alcohol detox treatment programs are designed to meet our client’s unique needs and help them achieve their sobriety goals.

During this treatment process, our clients are carefully supervised 24/7 by trained clinical and medical staff.

We combine medication, a healthy diet, music therapy, meditation, and more to ease the uncomfortable symptoms of alcohol and drug withdrawals.

Treatment for substance use usually begins with detoxification services, the length of stay is evaluated based on substances and length of use as well as your general state of health. The goal of our drug detox rehab program is to rid the body of the abused substance so the withdrawal process can be treated successfully.

Opioids, benzodiazepines, and alcohol are known to have severe withdrawal side effects, and therefore medications are given to relieve any unwanted side effects and prevent any further harm. As Detox services only address the physical side of addiction, it is strongly encouraged that your physiological dependence is addressed through continued treatment services.
