Understanding Drug Detox
Whether you have challenges with alcohol addiction, prescription drugs, opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, other illicit drugs, or a combination of these, detox is a crucial first step toward lasting recovery. Detoxification, or detox, is the process of clearing the body of any drugs or alcohol in your system. When individuals use substances for an extended time, the body becomes used to them. So, when a person begins abstaining from these drugs, the body goes through withdrawal symptoms.
At Profound Treatment, we know withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the person and how many substances they are using. For instance, if you have been diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD), your detox services plan may differ significantly from those who need alcohol detox and alcohol treatment. Unfortunately, whether you are in alcohol detox or drug detox, the withdrawal symptoms can be painful and uncomfortable. Some even avoid seeking treatment because they are fearful of detox and the withdrawal symptoms.
We understand that detox and withdrawal symptoms can cause pain and discomfort. As a result, we have designed our detox healthcare services with a focus on safety and comfort. In our detox programs, you will receive medication-assisted treatment to manage your withdrawal symptoms.
Drug detox in Los Angeles provides access to a treatment facility and residential treatment program focused on around-the-clock care. In addition to 24/7 medical supervision and medication management, medical detox offers psychological care to help prepare clients for behavioral health care in residential treatment.
Some of the therapies that can be incorporated into a personalized care plan include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). These treatments can support the healing process and long-term recovery by addressing the underlying causes of mental health disorders and substance abuse challenges.

Never Detox Alone: The Importance of Medical Detox
Many people think they can manage their withdrawal symptoms at home or alone, or believe they do not deserve medical assistance. However, both of these beliefs are misguided and can put your health at further risk. Detoxing at home or alone is incredibly dangerous and can be fatal. Withdrawal symptoms can range in scale from mild nausea to severe seizures. Therefore, we strongly implore you to never detox alone.
Rather, consider contacting us at Profound Treatment to start the healing process from substance abuse in a safe and comfortable environment. Our detox services at Profound Treatment are designed to help clients manage their physical and psychological symptoms with monitoring by our qualified medical team. Moreover, you can feel better faster with medical detox and start one of our addiction treatment programs sooner.
With medical supervision, you have a stronger foundation for continuing care. Thus, our clients can begin their residential treatment or intensive outpatient treatment immediately after completing the detox process.
Whether you are seeking intensive outpatient or inpatient rehab, you have the opportunity to attend individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy, along with a variety of other holistic, evidence-based treatment options. At every level of care, the Profound clinical team will communicate with your primary care team and your family about your progress if you so choose. We will be there for you at every step of the recovery journey.
