Our Program

Understanding the Detox Process at American Detox and Treatment

Detox is when your body processes and eliminates waste from harmful substances, such as drugs and alcohol, from your body. Individuals going through detox typically experience withdrawal symptoms as the body learns to cope with no longer having addictive substances in their system.

Detox is unique to everyone, and it is unsafe to do on your own without proper medical supervision. We understand how you feel and will meet you where you are at in the process. American’s medical detox is step one. Our licensed physicians monitor you 24 hours a day, and provide you with medication to offset withdrawal symptoms. These medications and supervision will help you safely detox from the substances you are currently addicted to.

While detox is different for each client, it is generally expected to spend the first two days being closely monitored by our medical staff. As the fog begins to clear on day three, we continue to monitor and medicate. Clients may attend up to 40 hours of individual and group therapy services each week as we help built a foundation for long-term mental well-being.

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. 24 hours a day, every day of the year, we have medical staff here to assist you with whatever you need. Healing starts here at American.
