What We Offer
Brookdale’s Medically Managed Detox Program
Upon entering Brookdale’s Detox Program, patients will be triaged in preparation for the next level of care. In order to determine the most appropriate and beneficial treatment plans, our medical team will perform an individualized evaluation of the patient’s need, history, medical concerns, mental health or co-occurring disorders and any other contributing factors.
Our primary goal at Brookdale Recovery is to provide each patient with compassionate, quality care while ensuring their safety and comfort. Upon arrival to our medically managed detoxification unit, nursing and medical personnel will respond rapidly to patient needs while gathering information, similar to how hospital emergency departments function. Once working diagnoses are established and urgent care is initiated, our Medical Department can then refine treatment plans to encompass both medical and nonmedical interventions addressing all underlying conditions.
Alongside 24-hour medical and nursing supervision, a novel feature of Brookdale’s detox unit is that each patient will be seen by liaison personnel throughout the course of detox, beginning their first day. Our Clinical Detox Supervisor will provide education and counseling services while patients are in the unit, and serve as an essential intermediate between nursing, medical staff and the next phase of care.
How We Help
Why Detox is Important
Detox is critical for a patient’s safety, overall well-being and long-term success. Often, those suffering from addiction believe they can manage withdrawal symptoms on their own, or “cold turkey.” This misconception is not only foolish, but in certain scenarios, very dangerous. We strongly advise against anyone attempting to detox without the appropriate medical supervision in place.
Long-term use and/or abuse of a substance, such as alcohol or heroin, can cause the human body to become dependent on that chemical. When a person stops using that substance their body and mind can begin to experience withdrawal symptoms. Although each case may differ, withdrawal symptoms can typically present as uncomfortable and painful, and in some circumstances, dangerous and life-threatening.
Withdrawal management is vital during the detoxification process, as it can mitigate withdrawal symptoms and allow the patient to overcome the physical and psychological effects safely, in a medically equipped facility.
What to Expect
Common Withdrawal Symptoms
It is important to remember that every individual is a unique case. While these are some of the more common withdrawal symptoms, a combination of other factors such as age, duration of use, co-existing medical conditions, and the addiction to multiple substances can influence their symptoms and overall condition. If either you personally, or someone you know needs detox, you MUST seek the guidance and support of experienced medical professionals.

Because synthetic drugs are often produced in black market laboratories, a user can never be exactly sure what compounds were used to make that substance. As such, withdrawal symptoms and side effects are often difficult to predict. Each patient’s case must be evaluated upon admission to determine proper medical and clinical care.
