Prescription medications such as pain-killers, sleeping pills and anti-depressants can provide highly beneficial treatments for a variety of health conditions.

Pain relievers enable individuals with chronic pain to lead productive lives while tranquilizers can reduce anxiety and help patients with sleep problems. Most people who take prescription medications use them properly but when prescription drugs are misused or abused they can produce serious adverse health effects, including addiction.

Misuse or abuse of prescription drugs occurs when they are taken in a manner or a dosage other than prescribed or taking them without medical prescription. The first step to a successful prescription drug detox is a thorough assessment of the type and level of abuse along with an evaluation of the physical and mental health of the patient. This will enable our medical staff to devise a detoxification programme individually tailored to the needs of each patient.

Detox From Prescription Drugs

The abuse of Opiods which are most commonly prescribed as painkillers has become a great problem over the last few years. Properly medically managed analgesic or pain relieving medication can manage pain effectively and rarely causes addiction. Repeated exposure to opiods can cause severe withdrawal symptoms when there is a sudden cessation of their use. The U.S.

Department of Health guidelines published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse advise that individuals taking prescribed opiod medication “should be medically supervised when stopping use in order to reduce or avoid withdrawal symptoms.”
The medical options for treating withdrawal from prescription painkillers are drawn from research in treating heroin addiction. Our detox centres have successfully been using Buprenorphine manufactured under the name Subutex for some time as a reliable form of prescription drug medication when painkillers have been abused. Further details about the development and use of Subutex can be found on our heroin detox page.

Prescription Drugs Detox Programmes

Central Nervous System (CAS) depressants including barbiturates and benzodiazepines are prescribed for conditions ranging from sleep disorders to anxiety or acute stress reactions. Discontinuing abuse or prolonged use of high doses of CNS depressants can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. Medical advice and treatment is strongly recommended for any attempt to stop or significantly reduce using. Our medical staff ensure that each patient has the safest and most appropriate medication prescribed and dispensed with their full support throughout the detox.

For more information on our prescription drug detox or an informal chat call our professional team 24 hours a day. An assessment of your needs will enable us to give you further information about the optimum detox method that will become the first step to a successful and lasting recovery.

The first step to a successful drug detox begins with a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the patient.

Our medically-based drug detox centres are staffed by experienced professionals who treat each patient as an individual. An initial evaluation is carried out to ascertain which substances the patient has been using, in what quantities and over what period of time. This information along with other relevant medical information about the patient will enable the treatment centre to select the most effective method of detoxification.

Great care is taken to control the withdrawal symptoms associated with detox. These are never taken lightly and vary from patient to patient. Symptoms can range from life threatening convulsions at their most serious problems such as insomnia, cravings, anxiety or depression. It is for this reason that research has shown that drug addiction treatment that begins with a medically supervised inpatient detox is the best option for an optimum outcome. Our medically qualified staff can deal with all of these withdrawal symptoms and can dispense and administer appropriate safe medication when required. We aim to give the highest level of support during this important initial stage of recovery from drug addiction.

Detox From Drugs

The exact method of detox used to stabilise each patient during withdrawal will depend to a great extent on the type of substance they have been using. Tests will be carried out where necessary to confirm information about drug use. We have links to the most common groups of drugs that are abused in which more specific details are given as to the detox programme suitable for each. Many patients use a combination of drugs and so it is important to consider the specific individual requirements of each patient before embarking on a course of drug rehab starting with a detox. Some clients may not require medication at all but a period of supervision would help their continued recovery.

For more information at any time about the in-patient detox programmes available or for an informal discussion call us at any time. Our fully-trained staff are here to help 24 hours a day.

Alcohol detoxification is a process by which a heavy drinker’s system is brought back to normal after being used to having alcohol in the body on a continuous basis.

Serious alcohol addiction results in a decrease in production of GABA neuro-inhibitor because alcohol acts to replace it. Withdrawal from long-term alcohol addiction without medical management may cause severe health problems. Research has shown that a medically based in-patient detox from alcohol at an approved alcoholism detox centre is the safest and most effective method to begin a process of rehabilitation from the effects of alcoholism.

Detox From Alcohol

Detox is not a cure for alcoholism. Detox from alcohol merely allows a person with an alcohol problem to cease alcohol use safely and comfortably. Detox without medical control is often accompanied by serious problems associated with withdrawal such as shaking, sweating, vomiting, hallucinations, feelings of anxiety or depression and insomnia. In more serious cases seizures, fits and potentially fatal comas can occur. In many cases where an individual attempts to detox without medical assistance the stress and discomfort of these symptoms cause them to drink again.

Alcohol Detoxification Programme

Our alcohol detoxification programme is individually tailored to the requirements of each patient. Careful assessment of the general health of the patient along with an expert analysis of their drinking habits enables our medical staff to identify the most suitable medication to prescribe and to decide on the optimum period of detox. Patients are medically monitored throughout the treatment which usually lasts up to a period of two weeks. Medication will often include Librium or, in some cases, Diazepam based on the medical history and individual requirements of a patient. We have found that the use of Thiamine and vitamin tablets beneficial in many cases to counteract the degree of malnourishment caused by excessive alcohol use.

Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable medical detox which will enable our patients to begin their journey to a successful and lasting recovery. Advice and assistance is given throughout the drug or alcohol detox period to enable our patients to achieve that recovery.

Our dedicated and professional team are available 24 hours a day to help you find the right centre for detox from alcohol. If you would like our help or just an informal discussion on any of these issues please call.
