Drug Detox

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.

At Ciconia Recovery we recognise that the road to recovery is physical as well as psychological, both have to be tackled hand in hand to allow the client a greater chance in achieving their goal of adopting a drug-free lifestyle free from dependency ‘once and for all.’

However the detox process is only the physical side of a client’s recovery journey, therefore at Ciconia the client’s care/recovery plan during this detox period will also include regular psycho-social interventions like counselling, trauma therapy, relapse prevention, coping mechanisms, recognising triggers etc. to deal with any psychological issues, hopefully providing the client with the skills and knowledge to avoid any future risks that could lead to any lapses.

We promise that our trusted rehabs in the UK will provide you with a tailored recovery program that suits your needs in total confidentiality as well as offering mental support to your loved ones.
