Why Choose Medical Detox?

When someone makes the courageous decision to seek help for addiction, the first and often most critical step in the recovery journey is detoxification—commonly known as "detox." At Broadview Recovery, we recognize how physically and emotionally taxing this stage can be, which is why our medically supervised detox program is designed with safety, comfort, and compassion in mind.

Quitting certain substances cold turkey can be dangerous and even life-threatening. Medical detox ensures:

• Stabilization of physical and mental health
   
• Reduction of cravings and withdrawal discomfort
   
• A safe foundation for long-term recovery treatment

Broadview Recovery provides detox services for a wide range of substances. Each type of drug comes with its own unique withdrawal symptoms and treatment needs. Our experienced staff develops individualized detox plans based on a comprehensive assessment of each client’s substance use history and health status. Here are some of the substances we detox:

Chronic alcohol use can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms including seizures, hallucinations, and delirium tremens (DTs). Our team closely monitors vital signs and provides medical support to prevent complications.

Opiate withdrawal can be intensely uncomfortable, with symptoms like nausea, sweating, muscle aches, and anxiety. Medications such as buprenorphine or methadone may be used to manage symptoms and support a smoother detox process.

Far more potent than heroin or morphine, fentanyl withdrawal can begin rapidly and be severe. Our clinicians are trained to respond quickly with appropriate medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and monitoring.

Although meth withdrawal is rarely life-threatening, it can cause severe depression, fatigue, and psychological distress. Our program addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of meth detox.

Withdrawal from cocaine often involves mood swings, sleep disturbances, and intense cravings. We provide therapeutic support and ensure a structured, calming environment during this critical period.

While not traditionally associated with physical dependence, hallucinogens and long-term cannabis use can lead to psychological withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, paranoia, or insomnia. Our detox team helps stabilize mood and prepare clients for deeper therapeutic work.

These medications (such as Xanax, Ativan, and Valium) require a slow, medically supervised taper to avoid dangerous withdrawal effects like seizures. Our medical professionals create a personalized tapering schedule and provide ongoing support.

Misuse of prescription medications—whether stimulants, sedatives, or mood stabilizers—can lead to dependence and complex withdrawal symptoms. Broadview Recovery is equipped to handle detox from a wide range of prescription drugs.

Substances like synthetic cannabinoids (“Spice”) or synthetic stimulants (“Bath Salts”) often cause unpredictable and severe withdrawal effects. Our clinicians are trained in managing the unique challenges these substances present.
