Prescription Drug Detox

Understanding Prescription Drug Dependence

Prescription medications, when used appropriately, can be life-saving treatments. However, when misused or taken for extended periods, they can lead to physical dependence and addiction. Common prescription drugs that require medical detox include opioids (painkillers), benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety medications), stimulants (ADHD medications), and barbiturates. At iVital Wellness, we provide specialized medical detox services for all types of prescription drug dependencies.

Medical detox is a proven, safe, and effective way to eliminate toxins from the body during withdrawal. At iVital Wellness, each phase of the detox process is supervised by an expert medical team led by a physician, with support from nurses and addiction specialists. Vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature, are closely monitored to ensure a safe detox experience.

What to Expect from Detox

The duration and intensity of detox can vary based on several factors: individual attributes such as body composition and metabolic rate, the specific drug being used, dosage levels, and the duration of use. Drugs like benzodiazepines and opioids can lead to dependence after just six to eight weeks of regular use, making professional medical supervision essential.

At iVital Wellness, we prioritize the health and well-being of our patients. Upon entering our program, each patient undergoes a comprehensive physical examination to assess their overall health, identify any co-occurring conditions, and develop a personalized detox plan. Our medical team utilizes medication-assisted treatment when appropriate to minimize withdrawal symptoms and ensure your comfort throughout the process. With 24/7 medical monitoring and a serene, supportive environment, we help you safely navigate this critical first step toward recovery.
