Nashville Detox

Detoxification is the process of cleansing one’s body of any drugs or alcohol that are currently present. This is an imperative step in the recovery process, as it allows a person to safely and effectively rid the body any existing chemical and carcinogenic build-up. When someone stops using drugs or alcohol, the immediate goal of a drug and alcohol detox center is to safely treat withdrawal symptoms while simultaneously ensuring the comfort of its clients. Our drug and alcohol detox in Nashville has the tools necessary to help you achieve the lasting wellness you deserve.

S2L Recovery has medical professionals as well as a 24-hour nursing staff on duty to help patients manage withdrawal symptoms as comfortably as possible. Detox should always be followed up with a residential treatment program. Learn more about our Christian detox programs and faith-based detox in Nashville, TN today.

Importance of Detoxing

Getting the current drugs or alcohol out of your system is crucial before starting addiction therapy. After the last usage, many drugs stay in the body for days or weeks. Drug withdrawal is a physiological response to the sudden quitting and/or slowing of the use of a substance on which the body has grown dependent.

The various types of withdrawal manifestations may involve combinations of physical, mental and emotional symptoms.

Some of these symptoms include the following:

• Tremors
• Sweating
• Irritability
• Fatigue
• Hunger or loss of appetite
• Muscle pain
• Vomiting
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Depression and anxiety
• Confusion
• Paranoia

In severe cases, seizures or stroke can occur in addition to the above-mentioned symptoms. This is why it is imperative that an individual be under the supervision of a licensed medical professional during the detoxification process. Additionally, being under a doctor’s supervision guarantees adherence to the detoxification and treatment plan. Our Nashville detox center helps to ensure that our clients get the highest level of quality care possible for safe and effective detoxification treatment.

Medical Detox At S2L Recovery

The term Medical Detox refers to detox performed under the supervision and care of licensed medical professionals. This helps ensure the safety of the person undergoing the detoxification process, while simultaneously allowing for real-time tracking of progress and the ability to make any necessary alterations to one’s treatment plan. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is used during the Medical Detox process to minimize the impact of withdrawal symptoms and ensure the highest level of comfort for the person in recovery.

S2L Recovery is proud to provide medication-assisted treatment options for those who need the extra level of care and comfort that these services provide. Unlike home or unsupervised detoxification, which can be extremely dangerous, Medical Detox allows for constant monitoring of the client’s health throughout the process to ensure a safe treatment that will result in the highest potential likelihood of lasting sobriety and successful recovery. At S2L, giving our clients the full spectrum of care that they deserve is part of our daily mission to help them grow and heal in an environment conducive to both physical and spiritual well-being.

At our faith-based detox centers, we understand the necessity of medically approved treatment options and focus on giving our clients every tool necessary for safe and effective treatment while also ensuring that they receive the faith-based support that sets S2L Recovery apart.

What To Expect From S2L Recovery & Our Christian Detox Programs

It can take days or months to get through withdrawal symptoms for most drugs. The length of withdrawal depends on a number of factors, including:

• Type of substance the user abuses
• The duration an addiction has lasted
• The severity of the addiction
• Method of abuse (snorting, smoking, injecting, or swallowing)
• The amount of a substance the user takes at one time
• Family history
• Genetic makeup
• Medical condition
• Underlying mental health conditions

At our faith-based detox centers, our promise to you is that every individual will be treated with love and respect without judgment. At our Nashville detox, our physician and nurses will tailor a treatment plan that is appropriate and personalized for you.

Drug Detox

Depending on the drugs that the user is abusing, a drug detox program’s particular details will vary. This is why it’s crucial to have a personalized addiction treatment plan. Most of the time, the detoxification process takes a few days to one week. The doctors and nurses use a variety of medications to help the individual safely wean off of the substance that is being abused. In some instances, a short course of Suboxone or methadone may be needed. Our Christian detox center in Nashville is fully equipped to meet any challenges that you face head-on to ensure comfort and the highest likelihood of successful recovery.

Alcohol Detox

The risk for misuse is increased by the fact that alcohol abuse is so common in the United States. Alcohol detoxification can be the most difficult because withdrawal symptoms like delirium tremens can be fatal. Delirium Tremens (DT’s) is a rare but very serious reaction to alcohol withdrawal that causes profound confusion, visual hallucinations, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, agitation, and even cardiovascular collapse. Our alcohol detox in Nashville keeps all of these variables under close consideration and we take extra steps to ensure a safe and effective detoxification process for all of our clients.

After Nashville Detox

After completing our Nashville detox program, it is very important that the individual in recovery transitions to a treatment center to complete the recovery process. The general public has a widespread misunderstanding that drug and alcohol addiction are mainly related to physical cravings for the substance. Since only a very minor portion of the recovery process involves physical withdrawal, after leaving our faith-based detox in Nashville, TN, ongoing care is always required to restore the brain and mental health.

Typically, the patient needs therapy and group support programs to learn coping mechanisms for temptation and difficulties that don’t include drug use. Both outpatient clinics and residential treatment facilities are viable options for providing this therapy and support.

Detoxification is unlikely to result in long-lasting changes without subsequent therapy, and the user is more likely to relapse soon after the initial detox. However, participation in a treatment program can vastly improve the odds that the detoxification will lead to a permanent cessation of drug and/or alcohol use.
