Drug Detox

A State licensed drug and alcohol detox facility can safely and competently provide full alcohol detox and drug detox in an appropriate setting. Miramar Recovery Center is fully licensed by the State of California for on-site substance abuse detoxification. The Miramar Recovery drug and alcohol detox facility utilizes the services of three licensed, highly experienced, independent physicians, who manage and monitor drug detox and alcohol detox for clients who need to go through the detoxification process before beginning primary treatment. Our experienced drug detox staff includes a psychiatrist, an addictionologist, as well as an internist, all of whom specialize in drug and alcohol detox.

Detox Process

The first stage in our drug detox and alcohol detox program is assessing and evaluating our clients through a comprehensive medical history and physical. This assessment may includes lab work, when indicated, to determine other health concerns that can be affected through drug and alcohol detox.

For dual diagnosis patients, our consulting psychiatrist can complete a comprehensive psychiatric assessment, as well. Our psychiatrist can also initiate and manage the detox process, as well as medication management.

Detox periods and withdrawal symptoms vary from client to client from a few to several days, depending on the nature and seriousness of the addiction and the substances present in the system. The vast majority of clients respond extremely well to our detox protocol and most begin to participate in primary treatment and undertake adjunct activities while they are still undergoing drug or alcohol detox.

Detox Accommodation

The accommodations at Miramar Recovery are among the most luxurious available in the industry. Our clients relax in absolute comfort and quiet during their detox period. We provide both private and semi-private rooms. Each of the rooms also has an en-suite bathroom for privacy and convenience.

In addition to our detox physicians, we employ a 24-hour house staff who is highly trained in detox protocols. They frequently monitor the status of the patient, monitoring vital signs and communicating with the physicians, as well as attending to the physical comfort of the patients.

And our in-house chefs provide clients with soothing, comfortable food and beverages, thus ensuring clients maintain proper nutrition and full hydration for their maximum comfort during drug and detox.

In short, we provide the most safe, effective, and comfortable detoxification process and surroundings possible for our clients.
