Supervised Detox

Supervised Detox

To detox from drugs and/or alcohol is the first step in the treatment process toward sobriety, and a medically supervised detox is a safe way to support clients during withdrawal. When needed at The Clifton Clinic, our detox clients are monitored by trained, qualified staff that can assist with any aspect of the detox process. We also have the means to prescribe any detox medications deemed necessary to ensure physical and mental stability during the process. We endeavour to make clients withdrawal symptoms as comfortable as possible.

Excessive consumption of alcohol or the use of drugs can cause physical dependence, so that when a person stops abruptly, it could result in potentially severe consequences. This could include seizure, nausea, hallucinations and severe anxiety to name a few.

We will talk our clients through on what to expect during the detox process, this will help them to be mentally prepared for what their body is going to experience. For many, it is also comforting to know that they are not alone in going through our supervised detox procedures.
