Drug detox is the critical first step in overcoming substance dependence. It involves eliminating harmful substances from the body while safely managing withdrawal symptoms. For many, drug detox is the foundation of long-term recovery—but it must be done under medical supervision to ensure safety and success.
At Ladoga Recovery Center, our drug detox program is designed to provide a secure, medically monitored environment where clients receive around-the-clock support, evidence-based treatments, and compassionate care as they begin their healing journey.
Why Medical Detox Matters
Detoxing from drugs like opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, or a mix of substances isn’t something you should go through alone. Withdrawal symptoms can be unpredictable — and in some cases, even life-threatening. Some of the most common symptoms people face during detox include:
Trying to detox at home without medical support can be extremely risky. Without the right care, your body can quickly become overwhelmed, and the situation can turn serious fast.
While the timeline varies based on substance, dosage, and duration of use, here’s a general outline:
6-12 Hours After Last Use: Early withdrawal symptoms begin (agitation, anxiety, restlessness).
1-3 Days: Symptoms peak—this is often the most uncomfortable and dangerous phase.
4-7 Days: Symptoms gradually subside, but psychological effects may linger.
1+ Weeks: Lingering symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and cravings can persist.
Throughout the entire process, our clinical team closely monitors your symptoms, provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and adjusts care as needed to ease discomfort.
Our holistic detox approach supports both the body and mind:
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): We use FDA-approved medications to manage withdrawal, prevent complications, and reduce cravings.
IV Fluids & Nutritional Support: We correct dehydration and replenish essential nutrients.
24/7 Medical Monitoring: You’ll never go through detox alone—our staff is by your side every step of the way.
Therapeutic Support: Licensed counselors are available to help address fear, trauma, and emotional distress.
