Drug and Alcohol Detox

Overcoming addiction to drugs and alcohol is no small feat. Because substance abuse causes the brain to become dependent on the substance, help is needed on the path to sobriety. When the time comes to seek treatment for addiction, detox is the first step towards recovery. Fort Behavioral Health’s drug and alcohol detox program in Texas provides a medically supervised detox with 24/7 clinical care. By safely managing withdrawal symptoms, our program sets patients towards recovery.

The cycle of addiction is hard to break, especially alone. Substance abuse leads to tolerance, which in turn leads to dependence and addiction. Addiction leads to changes in the brain which can cause uncontrollable urges. Because of this, those abusing substances might have difficulty maintaining healthy relationships or employment.

What is Drug and Alcohol Detox?

Detoxification, the removal of toxins from the body, is an early step for someone hoping to overcome addiction. However, detox is often accompanied by withdrawal symptoms. Because your brain is used to relying on the substance, these could include painful physical symptoms or psychological discomfort such as depression.

In an alcohol detox program, you receive specialized care for alcohol withdrawal symptoms, which often include physical discomfort, anxiety, insomnia, and headaches. Withdrawal from alcohol can also cause more severe symptoms, including hallucinations and seizures brought on by delirium tremens, a serious condition that requires immediate intervention. Because these symptoms can be life-threatening, reaching out for help from a detox center is of vital importance.

Opioid and heroin detox programs might also be aided by medication. These substances cause withdrawal symptoms that are not life-threatening but are incredibly uncomfortable, and those attempting to detox on their own can potentially relapse. A detox center can help you get past these barriers so you can start on the path to recovery 

Every person is unique, and so are their exact needs during their detox. If you’ve experienced withdrawal, you know that peace and quiet during the process is key. Fort Behavioral Health’s professionally managed detox is the right choice.

Though detox can be a chaotic time, it’s an important step on the road to recovery. Every substance will have different withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, an experienced staff is key to successfully detoxing.

Why Choose Medically Supervised Drug and Alcohol Detox

The cycle of addiction is hard to break. Drug and alcohol detox with medical supervision helps safely manage withdrawal symptoms. Every journey out of addiction is different. Our team of experienced, professional clinical medical nurses ensures that you are as comfortable as possible during your unique detox experience. 

Detox can also be a challenge because of the likelihood of relapse. This occurs when someone stops using an addictive substance, then starts using again because the withdrawal symptoms are too much to manage. But a comprehensive detox program can reduce your risk of relapse and prepare you for a rehab program. 

During detox, you can also begin addiction therapy programs that help you uncover any underlying issues that played a part in your addiction. At Fort Behavioral Health, our treatment programs are designed around your individual needs, so you receive the support you need. A combination of individual, group, and family therapy helps you examine your issues in a variety of settings. Additionally, we offer:
