What is Detox?

Detoxification, commonly referred to as detox, is the first and crucial step in overcoming dependency on drugs or alcohol. This medical process involves cleansing the body of toxic substances while managing the symptoms of withdrawal under professional supervision. Our goal at Iris Healing Retreat is to ensure the detox process is as comfortable and safe as possible, paving the way to a full recovery.

How Does Our Drug and Alcohol Detox in Los Angeles Work?

Evaluation

This process identifies the presence of substances in the body, any other medical conditions present, and the person’s social and living situation for program placement once detoxification is completed.

Stabilization

The second step is the actual process of assisting an individual through withdrawal as substances are removed from the body. Medications may be used to assist this process.

Fostering Readiness and Entry into Treatment

The last step of detoxification introduces the individual to the treatment process and stresses the importance of follow-through as the individual enters a treatment program.

It is important to stress that detoxification is not a treatment for substance abuse. Detox is the first step toward treatment, as treatment is difficult when substances are still active in the body.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the daily hours and time commitment for detox?

Detox is a medical process conducted under 24-hour professional supervision at our facility in Woodland Hills. The duration varies based on the substance of abuse, duration of use, and individual health conditions—typically lasting from a few days to a couple of weeks. You’ll remain at our center throughout the detox process, receiving continuous monitoring, medical assessment, and support. Our medical staff is available around-the-clock to manage withdrawal symptoms and ensure your safety and comfort. After detox, clients typically transition to residential treatment, PHP, IOP, or outpatient programs. Contact us at (844) 663-4747 to discuss your specific situation and expected timeline.

How does insurance coverage work for detox programs?

Iris Healing Retreat is in network with numerous insurance carriers including most major PPO and HMO plans. We’re in-network providers for Anthem, CompSych, Halcyon, First Health Network, MHN/HealthNet, and MultiPlan. Coverage varies depending on your specific insurance plan, the substance being detoxed, and the length of the detox program. Our admissions coordinators will verify your benefits and help maximize your coverage for medically supervised detox and any medication-assisted treatment needed. We also offer various financing options for any out-of-pocket costs. Fill out our free, confidential online verification form or call (844) 663-4747 to understand your coverage and any associated costs.

What happens after I complete detox?

Detoxification must be completed at our facility under professional medical supervision for your safety. Attempting to detox at home from drugs or alcohol can be dangerous—withdrawal symptoms range from severe discomfort to life-threatening complications like seizures or delirium tremens (especially with alcohol and benzodiazepines). Our 24-hour medical supervision ensures we can manage withdrawal symptoms with medication-assisted treatment, monitor for complications, provide nutritional support and hydration therapy, and keep you safe and comfortable throughout the process. This supervised approach minimizes risks and paves the way for successful entry into further treatment programs.

How will I know if I or a loved one needs detox?

Recognizing the need for detox is critical. Signs include increased tolerance (requiring more substance to achieve the same effect), withdrawal symptoms when not using, continued use despite adverse consequences, repeated unsuccessful attempts to quit, neglect of social or work activities, persistent use in dangerous situations, and physical changes like weight fluctuation or deteriorating hygiene. If you’re experiencing any of these signs, professional detox is likely necessary. During our initial evaluation, we identify substances in your body, assess any medical conditions, and determine appropriate program placement once detoxification is completed. Contact us at (844) 663-4747 for a confidential assessment.

What withdrawal symptoms should I expect and how are they managed?

Withdrawal symptoms vary by substance but are professionally managed throughout your detox. For alcohol, symptoms begin 6-12 hours after your last drink with mild anxiety and nausea, potentially escalating to severe complications like hallucinations, seizures, or delirium tremens within 48-72 hours if untreated—which is why medical supervision is critical. Drug withdrawal varies by substance: opioids cause severe physical discomfort and cravings, benzodiazepines require careful tapering to prevent seizures, stimulants cause depression and fatigue. We use medication-assisted treatment to alleviate symptoms, provide continuous medical monitoring, offer psychological support through therapy, ensure nutritional support and hydration, and adapt your treatment plan as needed for your comfort and safety.
