Detoxification is the body’s process of removing toxic substances like drugs or alcohol. This is a naturally occurring process, but it can be dangerous without professional medical supervision because clients enter withdrawal during this time. Withdrawal symptoms raise the risk of relapse and have other physical side effects that can be harmful.

Medically monitored detox through Princeton Detox and Recovery Center takes place in a residential setting where clients are closely watched by medical staff 24 hours a day. During this time, staff track the clients for any changes and help them cope with withdrawal symptoms through therapy, education, and medication, if necessary. Ongoing assessments determine the health of the client and the need for medication.

Detox is a residential program where clients live on site during the process, but it is not long term. Typically, it takes seven to ten days for a client to detox fully, but additional factors can determine the length of a stay. Clients will undergo an assessment at the start of the treatment, looking at their addiction history and symptoms, overall medical history and well begin, and any co-occurring disorders to determine the course of treatment.

Co-occurring disorders are mental or behavioral health diagnoses (such as depression or anxiety) that exist alongside addiction. Co-occurring disorders require a special approach that treats the symptoms of both to reduce the risk of relapse.
