This is where medically assisted detoxification comes in. At Waypoint Recovery Center, we provide personalized, medically assisted detox for alcohol, opiates (like oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl among others), and benzodiazepines (often called “benzos” and including alprazolam/Xanax, clonazepam/Klonopin, and diazepam/Valium).
The detoxification process helps a person weather the storm of withdrawal symptoms so that they do not go back to drugs or alcohol before they can pursue a full course of treatment for their substance use disorder. But that does not mean there are no challenges to face during the detox process. In fact, the Waypoint medical team constantly monitors those we serve for a range of symptoms that might indicate a need for intervention.
