What Is Detox?
Detoxification is the first and one of the most crucial steps in the treatment of substance use disorder (SUD). It involves the process of clearing the body of drugs or alcohol while managing the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal. Detox is not a cure for addiction but a necessary step in a comprehensive treatment program. It provides the foundation for continued care and long-term recovery.
Detoxification is vital because it addresses the physical dependency on substances, which can cause severe and life-threatening withdrawal symptoms if not appropriately managed. At Serenity at Summit, our medical detox programs are designed to stabilize clients during this critical phase, ensuring their safety and comfort.
Withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the substance used, the duration of use, and the individual’s overall health. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe, life-threatening conditions. Our experienced medical team at Serenity at Summit is equipped to manage a wide range of withdrawal symptoms, including those associated with opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, and other substances.

Effective Therapies During Detoxification
Detoxification is more than just the physical process of ridding the body of toxins. At Serenity at Summit, we integrate a range of evidence-based therapies to support clients’ mental and emotional health during detox.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
MAT is a critical component of detox for individuals with opioid or alcohol addiction. This approach combines FDA-approved medications, such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, with behavioral therapies to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, making the detox process more manageable and reducing the risk of relapse.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is employed during detox to help clients cope with the psychological aspects of withdrawal, such as anxiety, depression, and cravings. This therapy teaches clients to identify and change negative thought patterns that can lead to substance use, laying the groundwork for long-term recovery.
Group and Individual Counseling
Both individual and group therapy sessions are available during detox to provide emotional support and help clients begin to explore the underlying causes of their addiction. These sessions are essential for fostering a sense of community and helping clients realize they are not alone in their journey.
