Detox Program
Detox Is the First Stage of Healing
Deciding to start a treatment program for your addiction is a big step towards recovery. To increase your chances of long-term success, it’s important to start the process right with an effective detox program. At Oregon Trail Recovery, we offer a detox program in Portland, Oregon through our partner facility Pacific Crest Trail Detox. As you take your first step on the road to recovery, the experienced professionals at Pacific Crest Trail Detox are there to guide you safely and successfully through the detoxification process.
What Is the Purpose of Detox?
When you regularly consume alcohol or take addictive drugs, your body begins to rely on these substances for survival. Breaking this biological dependence is necessary to begin treatment, but it can also be dangerous when done without medical supervision. This is one reason that addictions are so difficult to overcome.
As you deprive your body of its source of dependence, you eliminate the biological need to take the substance. This helps your body return to the baseline it was at prior to any drug or alcohol abuse. Detox gets you physically ready to fight back against your addiction, while counseling helps get you there psychologically. Starting with detox will help tremendously in the later stages of treatment.
What Should You Expect When Undergoing Detox?
Success is possible when you have a team on hand to help you through withdrawal. Eliminating an addictive substance overnight may lead to discomfort and intense side effects:
- Tremors
- Sweating
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Breathing difficulties
The staff at Pacific Crest Trail are prepared to keep you safe and address any problems that may arise during the 7-to-10-day process, and their well-structured programs are the best alcohol and drug detox programs in Portland. This allows you to worry less about your well-being while you’re undertaking this crucial step to beat your addiction once and for all.
Once you’ve completed detoxification, you’ll be ready to tackle your recovery with renewed strength and motivation as you move into our long-term treatment programs. At Oregon Trail Recovery, your success is our priority. We’re there with you every step of the way to lend support and guidance during this challenging process. Our program is done in a home-like environment to help you feel as comfortable as possible.
What’s the Next Step After Detox?
A detox program is only part of addiction treatment. Ridding your body of drugs or alcohol prepares you to tackle the rest of your journey. The only way to avoid entering detox again is to stop the use of the substance entirely so that your body has no chance of rebuilding its dependence. Together with our counselors, you’ll work to identify the reasons you started taking drugs in the first place and learn to address them head-on.
Oregon Trail Recovery offers several addiction treatment programs to help you continue on your road to ultimate healing. Through group therapy, individual sessions and a variety of support groups and meetings, you’ll receive the attention you need to work through your personal challenges and overcome them.
Contact us immediately to start working towards your sobriety. We welcome inquiries on behalf of yourself or your loved ones, and we have same-day admission available. Don’t wait to begin the detox process; it’s the first hurdle you’ll need to clear before achieving long-term success.
