Detox Services

Often when addressing addiction to alcohol, heroin, or prescription drugs, the first problem is dealing with the likelihood of withdrawal. As the treatment begins to detoxify the body, one’s mind and spirit must not only deal with the absence of the intoxication, but also with the physical, neurochemical, and bodily dysfunction; an individual may incur extreme discomfort and sometimes physical risk.

St. Gregory Retreat Centers are licensed to administer medical detoxification services, and we take great care in assisting our clients through this process. A smooth, comfortable drug detox is necessary to ensure a seamless transition into the St. Gregory program. Clients undergoing detox at St. Gregory’s are able to avoid the discomfort of a hospital environment and have the luxury of a nice bed, good food, and staff and other guests to talk to for support along with the care of our interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses and other medical detox staff. The detox period at the St. Gregory Retreat Centers is designed with one goal in mind, to help our guests to safely and as comfortably as possible break the daily chemical dependency they have so they are physically prepared to begin working on the rest of their lives. With our medical protocols combined with our state-of-the-art neurotransmitter repair protocols, we are delivering the world’s most comprehensive detox process.

Alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids have the highest risk of withdrawal problems leading to recurrent use and failure in following through with the treatment of the primary problem, the substance use. Although the symptoms can be similar, the risk for withdrawal is intensified when combinations of these agents are used. Alcohol and sedative hypnotics (benzodiazepines and others) can result in delirium tremens (more commonly referred to as “DTs”) with risk of death. Xanax detox, Valium detox, Klonopin detox, and detox from the other Benzodiazepines listed below can produce withdrawal symptoms including delirium tremens, excessive sweating, vomiting, insomnia, loss of appetite and weight loss, anxiety and depression. Delirium tremens is manifested by agitation and restlessness, confusion, hallucinations, delusions, and seizures. Heroin detox, Methadone detox, Oxycodone detox, and detox from the other opioids listed below can result in muscle, bone, and joint pain, crampy abdominal pains, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, along with yawning, sweating, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, dilated pupils, piloerection, chills, tachycardia, and hypertension.

Through our medical resources, medically monitored detoxification can be provided at the quiet, calm setting of St. Gregory’s. Utilizing scientific medical interventions (including Suboxone), withdrawal risk will be averted and our clients are optimally prepared to begin the St. Gregory program.
