Take a Strong Step Toward Recovery: Riverview Behavioral Health Offers New Medical Detox Program

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

That saying is attributed to an ancient Chinese philosopher, but the leaders at Riverview Behavioral Health know it's true for most recovery journeys. They also know that first step is easier to take when it's close to home and near your established support structure.

That's one reason they are proud to add medically supervised detox for men and women ages 18 and older. The most common addictions they see are alcohol, benzodiazepines, meth, and opiates, but they are able to help with other forms of addiction as well.

They ensure each new client is medically stable and properly diagnosed before admission, as well as developing a personalized treatment plan to ensure they can complete the withdrawal process safely with minimal discomfort. That includes:

• Group therapy, as well as individual and family therapy if needed
• Education on relapse prevention, addiction as a disease, and other issues related to long-term recovery
• 24/7 clinical support for withdrawal management
• Prescription medication is considered based on each individual's situation and a consultation with a physician. Suboxone might be considered for opiate cases.

During the medical detox program, clients often develop positive relationships with others committed to recovery and facing similar challenges. While their minds and bodies are healing, clients begin to understand that they are not alone, and the success they find in the structured program inspires further recovery.

Most clients complete the process in 5-7 days and leave with a written plan for their next steps. That might include referrals to residential care, partial hospitalization programming, intensive outpatient programming, or psychiatric follow-ups.

The team at Riverview Behavioral Health is dedicated to compassionate, evidence-based care vital to long-term recovery. They are available 24/7, take most major insurance, and welcome walk-ins. Learn more at riverviewbehavioralhealth.com or by calling (855) 962-2088.
