Detoxification and Evaluation Program
The Detoxification Process is the first important step in the treatment of an addiction to alcohol and/or other substances. Symptoms of withdrawal may include blood pressure and heart rate elevations, anxiety, emotional instability, nausea, sweating, tremors, vomiting, insomnia, depression, and seizures.
Some people have tried home based detoxification unsuccessfully. Sometimes it is not possible, due to life circumstances or the need for medical monitoring/treatment, to do home based detoxification. Possibly a person may feel more comfortable with being out of their current environment in order to take this step. Our detox program is a place to receive medical attention, and professional treatment services, in a comfortable and caring, supportive environment that may make for a more successful detoxification.
We help people detox from many substances, examples are alcohol, narcotics and opiates including heroin, morphine, codeine, percocet, oxycontin, vicodin, dilaudid and anti-anxiety drugs.
We detox with a variety of medications, including librium and methadone. Your counselor along with our medical staff will decide on the specific course of detoxification.
MCCA provides a Medically-Monitored, caring and friendly home-like atmosphere to help people safely and effectively detoxify from alcohol and/or other drugs. Each person admitted to the Detox Program receives a medical and clinical evaluation, followed by medication administration to help them detox in a safe, comfortable way. A structured program consisting of educational groups, 12 step meetings and individual counseling sessions is also part of the process.
Aftercare Planning is the other essential part of the detoxification experience. Detoxification is the first step on the road to recovery. Participants receive help from the time they enter the program in defining and connecting with services to achieve their goals for the time beyond their stay here. Once the detoxification process is complete, we will continue to provide treatment within other MCCA programs and/or arrange for other treatment services, as necessary, based upon the individual client's needs.
MCCA offers clients a continuum of care:
- Detoxification and Evaluation, including the use of Methadone for opiate detoxification if appropriate
- Short and Long Term Residential Programs
- Intensive Outpatient Programs (day & evening)
- Various Outpatient Programs
- Relapse Prevention
MCCA's Detoxification and Evaluation Program is a client -centered, recovery-oriented integrated treatment experience that focuses on the physical, emotional and social well-being, growth, education and empowerment of each client, promoting respect and dignity through the efforts of a well qualified, well trained culturally competent medical, counseling and professional staff.
The program concentrates on medically monitored detoxification, the health, psychological and pro-social skills of the identified client.
Our professional staff consists of a Medical Director, Program Director, Registered Nurses, Counselors/Case Managers and Substance Abuse Technicians all working toward the goal of helping our clients overcome addictions, in a very caring, professional and respectful atmosphere.
We at MCCA believe that alcoholism and drug addiction are treatable illnesses and that those affected can recover.
