Medically supervised drug and alcohol detox
Addiction treatment may
begin with a medically supervised period of detoxification. This
includes a comprehensive assessment of the needs of each client,
and the development of a personalised withdrawal management care
plan.
For many clients the thought
of withdrawing from drugs or alcohol can be daunting, but at
Winthrop Hall clients are assessed by clinical staff who are very
experienced and knowledgeable about the withdrawal process. Clients
will have an individual withdrawal management plan, taking into
account their substance of choice, which may include
prescribed, licensed medication. Withdrawal symptoms are carefully
monitored to ensure that detox is safe and as comfortable as
possible. Complementary therapy will also be a core part of the
withdrawal management programme to enhance comfort and assist with
relaxation.
