Our Costa Mesa Detox Center

You must be free from all drug toxins in order to receive effective addiction treatment, which includes addiction treatment groups, therapy and counseling.

Many believe that detox is all that’s required for recovery. This simply isn’t the case. Drug detox is just the first step in the ongoing process of breaking the cycle of drug addiction.

Your body will crave the drug, and you will likely experience physical symptoms like headaches, nausea, chills and fever.

Every individual is different when it comes to detox. For some, it takes two to three days to complete. For others, it can be up to a week or longer.

Your dependence and craving for the drug will increase, too.

You may exhibit behaviors that you don’t want to share with others. Within our detox program, you will be in a safe environment with experienced and dedicated staff members, most of whom are in recovery themselves, who will help you get through this transitional period.

The process can be very difficult, and not everyone succeeds the first time. If you don’t make it through, don’t get discouraged. If you have made the commitment to seek recovery, you must attempt again until you can complete the process.

Withdrawal symptoms can be unpredictable. With medical supervision, you can feel confident that you’ll be safe even during the most difficult phases of detox. This will minimize the chance of complications while greatly reducing the risk of relapse.
