Detoxification: The First Step

Medically Assisted Detox

Detoxification is the initial phase of recovery, aimed at eliminating toxins from the body. Our medically supervised detox program ensures that clients undergo this process safely and comfortably with professional support. Key aspects of our detox program include:

• Stabilizing clients physically and emotionally.
• Monitoring drug concentration levels and vital organ functions.
• Administering medication to manage severe withdrawal symptoms.

Upon successful detox completion, clients transition directly into inpatient care for further treatment.

Inpatient vs. Residential Addiction Treatment

While the terms inpatient and residential treatment are often used interchangeably, there are distinctions:

• Inpatient treatment focuses heavily on medical intervention, including detox and medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
• Residential treatment emphasizes therapies, counseling, and 12-step programs to address the psychological aspects of addiction.

At Design for Change, we integrate both approaches to create a holistic and effective recovery experience.

Key Components of Our Inpatient Rehabilitation Program

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

For clients struggling with opioid, benzodiazepine, or alcohol addiction, MAT combines medications with behavioral therapy to minimize withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. This approach is particularly effective for individuals with a long history of addiction.

Counseling and Therapy

Individual and group therapy play a crucial role in addressing the root causes of addiction. Our licensed professionals provide:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps clients recognize and change destructive thought patterns.
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) – Teaches emotional regulation and mindfulness skills.
• Personalized one-on-one counseling – Focuses on the client’s specific needs and triggers.

Holistic Treatment Approach

Because addiction impacts the mind, body, and spirit, our holistic treatments complement traditional therapy. These include:

• Art therapy
• Music therapy
• Nutrition and fitness programs
• Bio-sound therapy
• Psychodrama

Each client receives an individualized treatment plan to ensure the most effective care.

Long-Term Inpatient Treatment & Benefits

We offer 30, 60, and 90+ day programs, with an emphasis on extended care for clients who require more intensive support. Staying in treatment beyond 90 days provides significant advantages:

• More time to develop coping strategies.
• A deeper understanding of addiction recovery.
• Greater opportunity to build healthy habits and replace negative behaviors.
