Recovery Planning Beyond Residential Treatment

Discharge and aftercare planning begin early in treatment to help clients transition into appropriate next steps, including sober living, outpatient treatment, continued therapy, and community-based recovery support.

Understanding Medically Supervised Detox

Medical detox is the process of safely stabilizing an individual as drugs and alcohol leave their body under clinical supervision. At Align Recovery Centers, this process is carried out through 24/7 medical monitoring, psychiatric oversight, and medication management to reduce the symptoms of withdrawal. The duration of the detox process varies based on several factors, including:
  • Specific substance(s) to which the individual is addicted
  • Length of time the individual has been using the substance
  • Quantity and frequency of substance use
  • The individual’s overall physical condition
Our medically assisted detox program typically lasts around 7 days. However, some individuals may require additional time depending on withdrawal severity and potential co-occurring mental health conditions.

Withdrawal Symptoms & Clinical Support

During detox, withdrawal may include symptoms such as anxiety or depression, fatigue, and changes in appetite. Some individuals may also experience nausea or vomiting, sweating, fever, or irritability. In severe cases of alcohol or benzodiazepine detox, seizures and other severe symptoms can arise. At our detox and addiction treatment center, our medical and therapeutic teams provide continuous monitoring and tailored care to safely and effectively manage these challenges.

Medical Detox Program at Align

Our medical detox program includes 24/7 medical care, psychiatric oversight, and ongoing clinical monitoring. This helps clients safely stabilize during withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. Guided by a medical team that specializes in addiction treatment, co-occurring mental health problems can also be addressed throughout this time.

Clients who are detoxing from substances such as alcohol and opioids may receive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to improve stabilization and reduce withdrawal symptoms throughout this process. Those detoxing from benzodiazepines may detox through a tapering protocol.

During detox, clients can also begin taking part in evidence-based treatment services focused on emotional regulation, relapse prevention, and addressing trauma and other co-occurring mental health conditions, setting the foundation for further treatment in a residential rehab center.

This may include residential programming, sober living placements, and continued care pathways rooted in evidence-based therapies such as CBT and DBT.

Why Detox Is Needed for Substance Use Disorders

Substances such as alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, marijuana, and prescription drugs can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms. In many cases, a medical detox is necessary to ensure safety and well-being.

Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal, for example, can be associated with severe medical risks. Additionally, opioid withdrawal can lead to serious physical symptoms and severe cravings that can increase the risk of continued use or relapse.

At our treatment facility, detox protocols are utilized and individualized based on the substance the individual is using, the length of time they’ve been using it, and the severity of withdrawal. Other critical factors, including medical history and co-occurring mental health conditions, are also considered when developing a detox plan.

Throughout this time, clients are medically supervised 24/7, have access to psychiatric oversight, and may receive medication-assisted treatment as needed. Our approach to care improves stabilization, reduces withdrawal symptoms, and promotes long-term recovery.

Transition to Residential Treatment &
Recovery Programs

While detox is the first step of recovery, continued treatment is necessary to address the root cause of substance misuse and prevent the risk of relapse. Following detox, individuals can smoothly transition into residential care, sober living, or outpatient treatment programs while receiving the support and structure they need to promote long-term recovery.

Residential
Programs

Many individuals will continue with residential treatment programs following detox. These rehab programs provide daily structure, individual therapy, trauma-informed care, and ongoing psychiatric support. Clients also have access to group therapy, evidence-based therapy such as CBT and DBT, medication management, and relapse prevention education.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

Outpatient treatment programs, including intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP), provide the flexibility for individuals to continue living at home and attending work or school while still receiving regular therapy and continued treatment. While we do not have an on-site outpatient program, case managers can provide referrals and next-step planning based on the individual’s specific needs and the level of care required.

Comprehensive Aftercare and Support

Discharge planning begins in the early stages of treatment and may include referrals for outpatient therapy, sober living environments, support groups, and continued recovery services. Ongoing recovery planning helps promote accountability, ensure clients continue to make progress, and prevent relapse.

Evidence-Based and Holistic Treatment Approach

At our treatment center, clinical programming for substance abuse combines evidence-based and trauma-informed therapy with a holistic approach. Combining multiple treatment modalities helps address the underlying causes of substance use and trauma, and develop better emotional regulation and coping skills for lasting recovery.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

We specialize in treating co-occurring disorders, ensuring that patients receive integrated care for both addiction and mental health issues. Our dual diagnosis program addresses the complex interplay between substance use and mental health disorders.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment. This approach is particularly effective for treating opioid and alcohol addiction.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps to identify unhealthy thought or behavior patterns and triggers that may lead to relapse. From there, clients can develop healthier coping strategies and improve emotional regulation, promoting long-term recovery.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT helps clients develop healthy and effective skills for managing emotional distress, impulsive behaviors, and substance use triggers. It can also promote better emotional regulation and mindfulness.

Group Therapy and Support Groups

Group therapy is a cornerstone of our recovery program, offering clients the chance to connect with peers and build a supportive community. Our relapse prevention strategies are integrated into all levels of care, ensuring that clients have the tools they need to maintain their sobriety.

Mindfulness and Meditation

Meditation and mindfulness help clients to improve emotional awareness, reduce stress, and manage cravings for substance use as they navigate recovery.

Experiential and Wellness Therapies

Wellness and experiential therapies help clients make progress in their recovery beyond what traditional talk therapy can provide. These therapies may include art therapy, music therapy, yoga, recreation, and mindfulness activities.

When to Seek Help for Drug or Alcohol Addiction

Common signs of drug or alcohol addiction may include increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and loss of control over substance use. Individuals may also find themselves neglecting personal or professional responsibilities, isolating themselves from loved ones, and losing interest in the hobbies they once enjoyed. Experiencing any signs of addiction means it’s time to seek help.

Early intervention can improve long-term recovery outcomes before continued substance use can lead to further mental, physical, or professional consequences. Medically supervised detox helps ensure stabilization, reduces the symptoms of withdrawal, prevents the risk of relapse, and promotes lifelong recovery.
