Types of Detox
At The Palms, we are prepared to help you detox from a variety of drugs, including alcohol, opiates (including Oxycodone, Heroin and Methadone) Benzodiazepines (including Xanax, Ativan and Valium), stimulants (including cocaine, methamphetamines and ecstasy),
and others. Each drug treatment classification has its own procedures, and its own risks. Therefore, each person will receive an individualized treatment plan based on their needs. At The Palms, the fact that you are checked in to a comprehensive
medical center is reassurance that if there is any unexpected problem, we have the staff and facilities to help you immediately.
Alcohol Detox
When a heavy drinker stops consuming alcohol, their body goes into withdrawal. Without proper management, the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal may include: nausea, vomiting, headaches, body aches, hot and cold flashes, rapid pulse, anxiety, sleep disturbances,
delirium, tremors, hallucinations and even seizures. At The Palms, we are committed to making this process safe and comfortable, minimizing the pain, discomfort and risk. While some programs offer an outpatient approach to alcohol detox, there is
a much higher completion rate in inpatient programs. Additionally, we are able to offer 24-hour care to help ensure your comfort and safety. At The Palms, we have the ability to rapidly asses your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your
treatment plan, if needed.
Opiates Detox
Opiates/Opioids are drugs commonly used for pain management and relief. Here are some of the most common drugs in this category: OxyContin, Oxycodone, Vicodin, Heroin, Methadone, Codeine, Hydrocodone, Morphine, Darvocet, Percocet and Percodan.
When someone stops taking opiates, withdrawal and symptom onset begins almost immediately. Opiates/Opioids causes symptoms of extreme illness, which can last for two weeks or more. Possible symptoms include: sweats, shakes, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
cramping, migraine, delirium and others. Because of its intensity and inherent risk, in order to be done safely, opiate detox should take place in a hospital setting, supervised by licensed medical professionals.
Benzodiazepine Detox
Benzodiazepines are primarily prescribed as anti-anxiety and insomnia medication. Some of the most common drugs in this category are: Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Librium and Klonopin.
When someone stops taking benzodiazepines, withdrawal begins almost immediately and can be severe. Possible side effects can include: nausea, cramping, agitation, migraine, fever, sweating and seizures. Because of its intensity and inherent risk, in order
to be done safely, detox should take place in a hospital setting, supervised by licensed medical professionals.
