One of the most difficult steps in any substance abuse program is the initial phase of alcohol or drug detox. For those suffering from addiction, the problem is mental, emotional, and physical, creating multiple challenges to a drug detox process. Attempting detox from drugs without assistance, can be a physically uncomfortable experience complicated by the mental anguish that dependency instills. In some cases, the attempt could be life-threatening. Those who fail could slip deeper into a fragile mental state that further perpetuates substance abuse.
New Seasons provides drug detox services through our residential treatment center option. For this important first step toward recovery, let the caring and supportive professionals at our New Seasons drug detox center help you through the difficulties of alcohol or drug detox.

Supervision During Your Drug Detox
When you take drugs or drink alcohol, you are initiating a chemical change in the way your body works. Over time, your body adjusts to the effects of these foreign substances and fights to get back to a state of "normalcy" from which it takes greater amounts of drugs or alcohol, usually in greater frequency, to "get high." This also creates dependency on the substance to function in a "normal" state.
When you begin a drug detox program, you are again initiating a change in your body chemistry by removing elements that your body has grown used to having to function in its new state of normalcy. Naturally, your body resists that. In some cases where substance abuse has been excessive and/or prolonged, quitting "cold turkey" may actually cause some critical body functions to shut down, putting you in a life-threatening situation.
At our drug detox center, we offer 24 hour supervision to monitor your drug detox progress. Often, a "weaning" process is necessary to allow your body to gradually adapt to the absence of drugs or alcohol in your system and re-establish the basic chemical processes it performed before addiction.
Symptom Management of Drug Detox
When you arrive at our drug detox center, we perform several assessments to determine your overall health, and use that to help guide us through your recovery. One such assessment monitors your brainwave activity to help us get a clearer picture on how your addiction is affecting different areas of your brain. This neurofunctional profile - or brain mapping - helps us focus on particular areas that aid in your recovery and point to potential areas of concern in drug detox and the recovery process.
One of the biggest obstacles in getting clean and sober is poor symptoms management. As your body goes through the changes brought on by alcohol and drug detox - as well as future stages of recovery - you will experience certain symptoms that, if mishandled, could trigger a relapse. At New Seasons, we help prepare you for these symptoms by teaching you how to recognize them, letting you know exactly what is causing it, and how to get through these symptoms so you can stay focused on your drug detox and recovery.
Drug Detox at Our Residential Treatment Center
For some, a visit to our drug detox center is the first step in a serious rehabilitation and recovery process. For those who have had enough of letting the influence of drugs or alcohol control their lives, New Seasons offers a residential treatment center option that provides 24-hour care for 30 days with the ability to extend if needed to as long as 90 days.
This type of care and support following drug detox can help you heal in all areas of your life. Through a variety of therapies, you can get back in touch with yourself and those you love.
Drug Detox and Dual Diagnosis
In many cases, drug detox is just one step in a more complicated scenario known as co-occurring disorders. Often, many people who have become addicted to drugs or alcohol are also suffering from a psychological disorder as well (e.g., depression, panic disorder, etc.). At New Seasons, we feature a dual diagnosis program that identifies all areas of your mental, physical, and emotional health that may need help. Following your alcohol or drug detox, we can begin working with you toward complete healing.
