Detox Q & A

What is medical detoxification?

Detoxification is often the initial step in addiction recovery. Medically supervised detox is designed to minimize withdrawal symptoms and ensure your safety while your body readjusts to the absence of substance use. It’s much safer and more effective to detox under medical supervision than it is on your own.

Detox plans support your physical and emotional needs during the first part of your recovery process. The compassionate team of medical and mental health professionals at MFI Recovery Center designs a personalized detox plan based on your specific needs.

Both residential and outpatient medical detox programs are available at MFI Recovery Center. The medical team can also help you detox safely during pregnancy.

What happens after detox?

Detoxification is only the first stage of recovery. When your detox is complete, your body is no longer dependent on the substance. However, long-lasting recovery requires in-depth emotional work to change the way you respond to situations that trigger the desire to use drugs or alcohol.

Your recovery process, like your detox plan, is unique. The caring team at MFI Recovery Center continues to provide personalized treatment, which leads to ongoing recovery from addiction.
