Top-Rated Drug Detox Program for Residents of Bakersfield

Withdrawal from drugs is one of the hardest first steps of recovery. When you try to detox from heroin, cocaine, meth, or prescription medication alone, the physically addictive properties of the drug and the subsequent withdrawal symptoms can make it an uphill battle. From intense cravings to a range of uncomfortable physical and psychological symptoms, drug detox alone can be tough.

Thankfully, there is a professional alternative: a drug detox program. Our top-rated drug detox program for residents of Bakersfield can offer you significant help to overcome drug withdrawal. Instead of dealing with all of the intense symptoms unaided, we can provide you with a range of over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medication that treats the symptoms you experience when you quit drugs.

Alone with the medication that we are able to provide in our medical detox program for Bakersfield residents, our round-the-clock care in our inpatient drug detox programs can further ensure your safe recovery. Muse Treatment and Recovery Center can help you to overcome the physical hold that drugs have so that you can be receptive to the treatments that will help you to sustain your recovery.

If you have experienced withdrawal symptoms, then you’ll have an idea of how difficult it can be to deal with the symptoms alone.

Our drug detox program for Bakersfield residents will help to make your withdrawal from drugs after quitting much easier to deal with.

In our medical detox program for Bakersfield residents, we will start by assessing your recovery needs and provide you with a safe, comfortable place to go through your detox process. Our staff members and healthcare workers will be there for you during your detox to ensure that you are dealing with the symptoms safely and effectively. In the event of a serious medical concern brought on by prior medical conditions or acute symptoms, then we can quickly deal with it.

The goal of our drug detox program is to remove the difficulties of overcoming physical drug addiction. The time it takes for your body to return to normal function in our detox program will be more comfortable than trying to go cold turkey at home, risking relapse and potential overdose due to a lowered tolerance to the drug.

By the end of your drug detox program, your mind will be clearer and you’ll feel much better. You will then have the chance to continue with your treatment to create a sustainable recovery and prevent relapse through our comprehensive range of behavioral therapies, holistic treatments, and aftercare programs. These treatments are crucial because detoxification doesn’t treat the addiction but rather just the physical reliance on drugs; there may be underlying causes of your addiction that if left untreated will likely lead to relapse.

A typical drug detox process takes roughly 5 to 7 days. Of course, there are several factors such as the specific drug that was abused, the severity of the addiction, and personal factors such as your current health. In more severe addictions, drug detox can take up to 10 days before the withdrawal symptoms dissipate.

The symptoms of withdrawal during drug detox may start within just 6 to 12 hours from the last time you used them. The starting symptoms tend to be mild. After roughly 2 to 3 days, your withdrawal symptoms will reach their peak. By the fifth day of detox, you’ll either feel much better and ready for the next step in treatment or you’ll feel be on your way to feeling much better.

In some cases, psychological symptoms of withdrawal such as depression or an inability to feel pleasure may be present for weeks or even months. This is known as post-acute withdrawal syndrome or PAWS. If you experience PAWS, then we are able to provide you with a long-term treatment plan to help manage your symptoms and more importantly, help you to prevent relapse through our medically-assisted treatment program.
