Alcohol Detox
Alcohol is one drug where it can be dangerous to stop abruptly or control withdrawal symptoms on your own. If you drink heavily or have an addiction to alcohol, you ought to seek specialized support with alcohol detox. You will likely encounter withdrawal symptoms such as:
- Mood swings and irritability
- Anxiety
- Headaches
- Sleeplessness
- Excessive sweating
- Nausea and vomiting
- Weakness
- Fevers
- Gastrointestinal distress
- Heart palpitations
The team at Sunrise Detox Center can help with all symptoms. While detoxing from alcohol, we monitor your core vital signs and provide medicine to make you more comfortable. We often use safe amounts of Librium to reduce anxiety and help you feel relaxed over the course of alcohol detox.
Many people get through alcohol detox in no more than ten days, although it might require a longer stay in extreme cases. No matter how long it takes to detox from alcohol, we will take care of your exact needs and discharge you only when you have a solid aftercare plan prepared.
Benzodiazepine Detox
Benzodiazepines are sedatives often utilized to treat anxiety and insomnia. They include:
- Alprazolam (Xanax®)
- Lorazepam (Ativan®)
- Midazolam (Versed®)
- Chlordiazepoxide (Librium®)
- Clonazepam (Klonopin®)
- Diazepam (Valium®)
- Triazolam (Halcion®)
Unfortunately, benzos are known to be addictive and difficult to detox from. At Sunrise Detox Center, we assist you in tapering off the drugs and attend to any benzo withdrawal symptoms, such as:
- Nausea
- Tremors
- Headaches
- Heart palpitations
- Aches and pains
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Cravings
- Seizures
Benzodiazepine detox can differ from other types of detox found because you may feel fine as detox starts. But over the course of a few days and as the drug exits your body, the most severe withdrawal symptoms hit. We will closely oversee your condition as you progress, and make sure you taper off slowly so you maintain your comfort.
Most people conclude benzo detox in seven to ten days. As you improve, we’ll collaborate with you to figure out the next stages of benzodiazepine use recovery following detox.
Opioid/Opiate Detox
Opiate and opioid drugs are strong pain medications that come with a chance of addiction. They include:
- Heroin
- Fentanyl
- Oxycodone (OxyContin®, Percocet®)
- Hydrocodone (Vicodin®)
- Morphine (Kadian®, Avinza®)
- Codeine
- Methadone
Addiction to opioids/opiates can be very hard to overcome, but Sunrise will help. Over the course of opioid/opiate detox, we track your vital signs and utilize evidence-based methods to address
- Nausea
- Pain
- Sleeplessness
- Anxiety
- Restless legs
- Other regular withdrawal symptoms
We frequently turn to Suboxone to help patients taper off opioids due to the fact that it has a lower likelihood of addiction when compared to other substances used in addiction treatment.
Suboxone takes the edge off of your withdrawal symptoms so you can finish detox as comfortably as possible. Our staff is experienced at safely administering doses of Suboxone at the appropriate time to steer clear of negative side effects. Ultimately, we taper you off of the Suboxone as your condition improves.
Most of our patients conclude detoxing from opioids/opiates within seven to ten days, but you may need more time in a serious case. You might still feel some withdrawal effects at that time, but we will support you in locating a proper rehab center for further treatment prior to releasing you. We want you to detox in a successful manner and in the end recover from opioid use permanently.
Stimulants Detox
A good deal of stimulants may be taken safely for longer periods. Be that as it may, if you’ve become caught up in the practice of taking too much, you’ll start to notice damaging effects and could need our guidance to come down to appropriate levels once more. We can help you detox from stimulants like:
- Caffeine pills
- Methylphenidates (Ritalin® and Desoxyn®)
- Amphetamines (Adderall® and meth)
- Ephedrine
- Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine®)
- Cocaine (crack)
Stimulant detox works a little differently from other types of detox. You can probably taper off of stimulants without enduring potentially hazardous effects. But you’ll be in a much better position when under the guidance of licensed professionals who will help you manage the less serious but still distressing withdrawal symptoms like:
- Lethargy
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Slowed heart rate
- Psychosis
- Cravings
At Sunrise Detox Center, we stabilize you and monitor your heart rate during stimulant detox. We may provide appropriate doses of drugs like Valium to counteract the stimulants in your system. We’ll also attend to any distress you’re having. First and foremost, we offer a secure location to live without the temptation of stimulants to steer clear of a dangerous overdose or relapse.
You should expect to feel stronger within a week of commencing stimulant detox. Prior to leaving, we’ll aid you in finding continual assistance for controlling your stimulant use.
Marijuana Detox
Marijuana detox is different from all other types of detox for drug and alcohol addiction since it isn't a true detox. Marijuana generally departs your body rapidly without prompting withdrawal. However, if you use marijuana heavily, you might undergo some unfavorable effects whenever you stop using it. And you may have trouble quitting if you consume it to treat physical or mental disorders.
If you need help cutting out marijuana, we are here. We can treat you for anything you experience after halting the use of marijuana, such as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Irritability
- Insomnia
- Headaches
- Stomach pain
- Shakiness
- Fever
- Cravings
Within a few days, you ought to feel well enough to transfer to another facility with a lower level of care and counseling to help you control your weed consumption.
Sometimes our patients enter treatment to detox from more dangerous habit-causing substances and also have marijuana in their body. In this case, you’ll also have to detox and abstain from weed while we give you treatment for other addictions. Those other drugs will have more influence over the kind of care you obtain and the duration of your stay at Sunrise.
