Drug Detox

This is generally for people who want to be completely abstinent from taking drugs like street Heroin or prescribed opioids but can also be done for other drugs such as Benzodiazepines, Alcohol, etc. The detox helps the person to cope with the withdrawal symptoms.

Detox can be done in the community via an outpatient specialist clinic or at an inpatient clinic depending on the individual’s circumstances, at Ciconia Recovery, we offer the outpatient detox.

For example, a Heroin detox at an outpatient clinic allows the individual to switch from Heroin to a Heroin substitute like Methadone, Buprenorphine tablets or Buvidal (Buprenorphine Monthly Injection) then gradually reduce from the substitute so that they are completely clean from both; this can take up to 12 weeks.

In an inpatient clinic, a detox can be rapid and done within 4/5 days or detox can be done more gradually over 3/4 weeks, upon completion of the detox the patient will also be offered Naltrexone in the form of tablets or an implant which is a full antagonist meaning it blocks the effects of any opiate use if an individual succumbs to the urge of using after completing their detox.

Once an individual stops using drugs, their body begins the process of flushing, cleansing and healing. The aim of the detox is about helping the individual to stop using the drug gradually and to ease any withdrawal symptoms.

Withdrawal varies from one individual to another based on many factors including their age, what drugs they are using, the amounts being used, duration of misuse, amongst other factors. Physical withdrawal develops when parts of the brain that are responsible for regulating certain bodily functions become reliant upon the presence of that drug in their system and require it to start functioning normally.

At Ciconia Recovery we understand that one of the main issues for individuals with drug dependency is the fear of withdrawal symptoms they will inevitably suffer once they stop, with the right detox plan the withdrawal symptoms will significantly reduce once their bodies start re-adjusting to coping without the substance. Our duty at Ciconia is to listen to and advise our clients the best options available in supporting and providing as pain-free a detox as possible.

The detox can be done in the community in the comfort of their normal surroundings and with the right detox/prescribing plan with as little impact on their daily lives as possible.

With the right detox plans, the severe signs of distress, anxiety and withdrawal symptoms should be significantly reduced throughout the process. Getting clean and sober via a community detox as stated earlier usually takes up to 12 weeks.

Do you treat trauma?

Yes, our staff are specially trained in trauma, grief/loss and attachment, we know very well the negative impact these can have on someone’s mental health which can then trigger alcohol/drug misuse and other negative behavioural health challenges.

Among our treatment approaches to trauma is EMDR therapy which is very effective in easing and treating PTSD.

What is outpatient care?

Outpatient care is less intensive than inpatient care. The patient will usually attend regular meetings with a consultant psychiatrist, counsellor, therapist or key-worker where they will be given similar treatments to those in an inpatient clinic. However, as the patient does not stay overnight, the cost of this care is less expensive.

Outpatient programmes consist of daily, weekly or monthly sessions. Because outpatient treatment requires less time in-attendance, the entire recovery programme generally lasts longer than inpatient care. While inpatient treatment typically lasts for a period of six to eight weeks, an outpatient programme can last many months.

Outpatient treatment is suitable for individuals who have been struggling with addiction but may benefit from a less intensive approach to recovery than inpatient care.
