Ambulatory detox is accessible to patients who are in our Supportive Living and Residential Treatment.
To eliminate drugs and/or alcohol from the body in the safest and most effective manner for the patient, we have created protocols that help you stay comfortable while you learn how to exercise recovery skills immediately. Detox is not formally considered treatment, as treatment works to identify the underlying triggers and behaviors associated with the substance use disorder. However, Solstice Southwest takes a tailored approach, to help you providers find appropriate and adaptable coping strategies to help with triggers, cues, urges and cravings.
The three primary focuses in your detox care is:
Safety
Ensuring you are safely detoxifying from the substance at hand. Some detox processes can be life threatening if not medically managed so receiving detox in a structured and secure environment is critical. Safety also means providing you with basic skills to keep yourself safe.
Self Care
Personal care, hygiene, nutrition, hydration, sleep, and ensuring that your basic needs are met are essential building blocks to help you stabilize, feel more whole, and start developing self efficacy (the belief that you can fully meet your own needs).
Skills
Life skills, coping skills, and Solstice’s proprietary 13 skills are gently incorporated into the detox process to help you or your loved one learn how to understand what drives the addiction and how to gain lifelong tools to prevent relapse. Skills for addiction aren’t complicated, but take time, practice, and repetition.
