Medically assisted detox services are a beneficial first step in overcoming addiction. Drug addiction, or substance use disorder (SUD), is a progressive and chronic illness. Medical detox is the best possible option for safely removing a substance from the body. Once a person becomes physically dependent on a substance, withdrawal can occur when the person stops using. With the withdrawal symptoms from substance use disorder, sometimes medication-assisted detox is necessary to tend to the more severe symptoms.
Royal Life Centers at The Haven understands, and knows how to treat even the most severe drug addictions. Royal Life Centers at The Haven offers the best in medical detoxification for addiction treatment. We offer a variety of treatment options, with services that adhere to our guest’s individualized treatment program.
What is a Medically Assisted Detox?
There is a wide range of withdrawal symptoms depending on the substance abused. Many substance use disorders produce severe and even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms best treated at an inpatient level of care in our medical detox facility. We offer medically assisted detox services, providing FDA-approved medication to treat withdrawal symptoms in combination with behavioral therapy and drug addiction counseling.
Medically Assisted Detox for Opioid Addiction
Often, people who abuse prescription painkillers, fentanyl, or heroin struggle immensely when trying to quit. Due to the painfully uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal, medication-assisted detox is the most effective treatment for long-term opioid addiction.
To help lessen the negative side effects of drug withdrawal, our detox professionals can prescribe medications like Suboxone to treat their symptoms. Suboxone is a partial opioid agonist that contains buprenorphine and naloxone. If a person were to try to crush a Suboxone tablet to abuse the opioid inside, they release naloxone, a medicine that stops the effect of opioids. This makes it almost impossible to abuse the medication.
Medically Assisted Detox for Alcohol Addiction
People who abuse alcohol can also benefit from a medically assisted detox. Alcohol dependency is known for causing life-threatening withdrawal symptoms such as delirium tremens which can be uncomfortable and even life-threatening.
Our treatment professionals provide constant medical monitoring during alcohol detox to ensure the patient’s safety and comfort. Often, medications such as benzodiazepines are used to help reduce withdrawal symptoms while a patient is on their way to sobriety. Our team can also prescribe FDA-approved medications like Antabuse and Naltrexone to help patients manage their cravings, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and prevent relapse.
Medically Assisted Detox for Benzodiazepines
If a person abruptly stops using benzos after forming a physical dependence on the drug, they will experience withdrawal symptoms. People may also experience a “rebound” of their initial symptoms that the benzodiazepine prescription initially treated. To make matters worse, benzo withdrawal also poses the potential risk of life-threatening seizures.
Knowing that benzo addiction carries its own unique risks and challenges, which is why our team provides personalized care plans tailored to each individual’s needs, providing medication as needed. Our experienced clinicians utilize research-backed benzo detox medications such as Librium and Valium to help reduce the physical symptoms of benzodiazepine withdrawal.
How To Receive Medication During Detox?

Medical detox is vital to the physical health of our guests, with medical professionals monitoring guests 24/7 to ensure their safety and comfort.

Medical detox is always recommended for the safe removal of a substance from your body for all forms of drug abuse. Drug detox services will treat and manage the range of side effects produced during withdrawal. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) supports the use of medicated-assisted detox medications like suboxone, in combination with behavioral therapy, as an extremely effective treatment option.
