Medically managed detoxification reduces the medical risks and discomforts associated with a withdrawal.  Inpatient detoxification can take from one to seven days and precedes rehabilitation treatment  The primary medication utilized to help the patient during the alcohol detoxification process is Serax (Oxazepam), rather than Librium and Valium, due to liver metabolism issues that can arise from these two drugs.  For opiate detoxification, a combination of Clonidine, Baclofen and Bentyl is used to mitigate withdrawal symptoms.  Suboxone is frequently used to modify withdrawal symptoms or to start on maintenance when indicated and adequate follow-up can be put into place.  Agency provides DBHR-certified service(s).
