Drug & Alcohol Detox

How long does detox last?

Do I need a medically supervised detox?

Yes, while detoxing you will be supervised by our medical and clinical treatment team. We have medical personnel on-site 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The purpose of a medically supervised detox is to safely manage your withdrawal symptoms. Detox is different for each person and their individual circumstances, and depends on several factors including:

What type of substance you used
If you regularly took more than one substance
The frequency of drug and/or alcohol use
The number of drugs or amount of alcohol you consumed
Medical history and any current health conditions

Detox is a unique journey for each individual, and can vary depending on one’s age and genetics. During the first days of detox, you will likely experience a range of withdrawal symptoms including muscle pain or aches, trembling or tremors, headaches, fatigue, sweating, irritability, agitation, anxiety,, and/or mood changes. Withdrawal symptoms will get better as time passes, and your body adjusts to a life without drugs or alcohol. You will have the individualized medical and clinical support you need at Reflections to help with your withdrawal symptoms.

What is a “blackout” period?

The term “blackout period” is used to describe a client’s first 48-hours at detox. The blackout period occurs during the initial stage of treatment when someone in recovery is feeling the most vulnerable. During this time, clients do not communicate with the outside world. Blackout policies are not intended to be a punishment for the person or their loved ones. During your stay with Reflections, this blackout period may vary depending on your unique medical and clinical needs.

Chefs provide breakfasts, lunches and dinners with an emphasis on global cuisine and particular specialities in asian fusion and mesoamerican cuisines. Healthy snacks are available 24 hours.

Do I get my own room?

Yes. We offer all private bedrooms.

What am I allowed to bring with me to detox?

See the list ‘What to Bring’. Pack as if you were going on a trip. Bring all medications in their original packaging. Electronics are welcome. Video cameras and gaming consoles are not allowed. Do not bring any weapons or clothing depicting violent, sexual, or alcohol and drug references.

What am I supposed to do all day?

During the first two days of your medically supervised detox, you can expect that your mind and body will be adjusting to medications to assist with your individual withdrawal process. This will likely make you sleepy. When you are physically stable, and ready to start treatment to overcome addiction, you will be encouraged to participate in meditational exercises, breathing techniques, group therapy, neighborhood walks, art-therapy, building relationships exercises, and one-on-one counseling sessions.

For the remainder of your time in detox, we strive to create an environment where you can pause to reflect, reset dysfunctional relationships, and eliminate excuses. You will meet others who understand the pain of addiction. Struggling with drug and/or alcohol addiction can lead to feelings of shame, isolation, and loneliness. However, you will be surrounded by others who may have experienced similar feelings and struggles. Our approach is one of self-acceptance and communal support.

Can I have things sent here?

With prior approval, you can have items sent to the facility.

Can I have a visitor?

We do not allow visitors during the first 48 hours of the medication assisted detox period.

What happens after detox? Is there a continuing care plan, and case management services?

You will receive individualized treatment at Reflections. Upon completion of your medically supervised detox, we will collaborate with you, the clinical team, and medical personnel to create an individualized plan, ensuring that you receive the services needed to be most successful in your recovery. This could include admission into one of our continuing care programs: Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or Extended Care Program (ECP). If you are not interested in one of our programs, or we do not have space available, we will assist you with referrals and resources tailored to your needs.
