Detox & Rehab Programs
“An Advisor for people who think independently and expect excellent natural individualized rehab & detox programs that are successful“
(To get help with admission into a private pay detox or rehab center, go to bottom of this page for costs and contact info)
Withdrawing from harmful drugs or alcohol is the major barrier to happiness and health and getting yourself back. Excellent detox which rejuvenates life is essential to make significant gains in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Correct healthy detox & withdrawal programs ensures that detox is wonderfully successful and healthy. Inexpert detox programs are dreaded by clients.
Standards: I believe in only working with people and centers that I personally trust. The centers I work with are unique as the people running them have a deeply held philosophy that happiness is found in living drug-free. These centers also attain to excellent standards of integrated detox and rehab services for their clients. All others are not considered regardless of media hype.
Integrated and Holistic: I define the best Integrated detox centers as specialists in natural medicine and alternative medical treatments. These are proven to be far more effective than traditional ‘modern’ medicine. Expect highly talented doctors and individuals working at the integrated holistic treatment centers I recommend.
The best Holistic detox and rehab centers will do more than yoga and meditation. Holistic treatments should involve the person’s entire life into alignment. Holistic rehabilitation treatments should be designed to bring about a wonderful treatment result when worked together. Simply put, the treatment program uses different disciplines with planning and purpose.
Is Detox or Rehab Your Primary Focus?
When I understand the primary concern of the client and family, I can best advise on either a detox or rehab focused recovery plan. Some centers also offer both detox and rehab equally well.
Notes: we work with
Rehab programs delivering on-site drug and alcohol withdrawal at their centers and focus on counseling, personal and social situations. All rehab centers are life skills focused; even the executive rehabs use business coaches and personal trainers during recovery.
Detox centers focus on the physical detox and have ongoing rehab support throughout the detox process.
Some detox and rehab centers will focus on both processes at an equally outstanding level.
The difference between the detox or rehab center’s focus has to do with the type of recovery needed and expected by the client. The focus and type of drug or alcohol treatment is determined by the client.
Detox & Rehab Programs
Drug Withdrawal is the process of coming off of these drugs. The safest, most comfortable and rapid method of withdrawal will be done with natural, assisted 24 hour care. All detox centers offer medically supervised care by either medical professionals closely monitoring a detox or by holistic detox specialists providing 24/7 attention under the guidance of detox doctors.
Ending heavy alcohol use, certain opiods, heavy use of benzodiazepines or some other meds are better done with medical detox combined with natural medicine and therapies. This is primarily for safety and security of the patient.
Many medical detox programs will rely on medications to try to ease discomfort. Unfortunately, many centers just cover up the discomfort and awful feelings of withdrawing from drugs and alcohol.
These truly expert withdrawal or medical detox program will nourish the body with nutrients, food, physical and holistic attention. Medical drugs are given only as needed or requested by the client to move rapidly through detox.
Integrative Rehab Center
Effective Withdrawal and Integrated Medical Facilities
Medications plus natural and therapeutic agents, such as proper hydration, mega nutrients, therapeutic touch and other therapies alleviate withdrawal effects much better than medications alone (if medications are indicated for a severe drug abuse situation).
The use of medications in withdrawal should be to expedite withdrawal, not lengthen it; ie suboxone or methadone use for longer than 1 week is lengthening drug withdrawal. Ideally, suboxone is used for seven days maximum and methadone is never substituted for opiate addicted clients. People leave without dependency causing drugs.
1. Naturally Assisted Detox Programs
Naturally assisted withdrawal and detox can and should involve mega nutrients, lots of water and rest to allow the body and mind to recover from the damaging effects of drug and alcohol abuse.
A natural withdrawal is not a cold turkey withdrawal. A natural approach instead of medications is used to rapidly repair health and restore proper body function.
Most clients I’ve interviewed, even those coming off of high doses of oxy and heroin have preferred drug-free naturally assisted withdrawal procedures. These clients tell me that during their medical detox’s they felt lousy because of the drugs and they still have to detox from those drugs after their original detox. Traditional medical detox can prolong the discomfort of withdrawal due to its sole reliance on medications.
Several such natural withdrawal processes are used to comfortably rebalance the body’s chemistry by assisting it in returning to proper function.
Medical supervision through a natural detox is used to insure safety and address concerns of patients.
Vitamin Depletion
Natural Health Detox Center
Pharmaceuticals, drugs and alcohol burn up, expedite the excretion of, and prevent the absorption of, nutrients and vitamins.
Therefore any intelligent natural detox program would include a large compliment of nutrients to assist drug withdrawal.
The major questions that determine which type of natural detox a person requires are:
- How ill are they?
- Are they currently dependent on medications? How many?
- How long have they been dependent on drugs / medications?
- How sophisticated do you expect the facility to be?
- How much has it or will it cost you financially or in loss if a good solution is not found?
2. Medical / natural integrative detox programs
When a person has been suffering from numerous health and addictions problems, especially if they are on significant medications, a medical / integrative detox program should be considered.
While natural detox centers provide excellent holistic care, sometimes direct medical attention is required. When the best medical help is needed for a medical detox, a proper clinic specializing in detox should be chosen.
Medical detox doesn’t replace rehab; instead medically assisted detox insures the smoothest and safest transition from a chemically dependent state to a drug-free and sober condition.
There is a huge difference between the services different medical detox centers provide. 99% of medical detox center staff and doctors are not holistically trained or fitted for integrative medicine and assessment. Most medical centers provide on allopathic approach using symptom treating methods of recovery: drug therapy.
Integrative Medical Detox Programs
Best Med Detox
A new and extremely effective detox program includes the use of holistic therapy, IV nutritional supplementation, counseling and education. Integrative medicine has bridged over to a truly state of the art process of medical detoxification.
Integrative medical detox facilities are a new phenomenon in the medical field. Although integrative medicine is easily the most popular and effective treatment strategy for any health problem, few integrative medical detox centers exist in North America.

I have been on Paxil for about 12 years and it has been horrible . I have tried many times to come off and can not take the side effects.I get this electrical sensation through my body like nervous legs but its from head to toe and I my whole body keeps jerking around and wont let me sleep. I tried coming down slowly and that sent me to the hospital thinking suicide was my only answer. I have great insurance and wonder do these facilities take insurance?
14 November 2009, 3:09 pmDrug Rehab Advisor:
Mark,
14 November 2009, 11:20 pmgood news is that the centers I work with specialize in withdrawal from drugs like Paxil and other anti-depressants. The brain zaps are what keep many people taking the drugs, despite wanting to get off. The integrative medical centers work with your insurance provider to reimburse you, so contact me when you’re ready and we’ll get you the help you need and want.
sandy:
Hi, I quit paxil or should I say switched to effexor I am curious what this program does to get people off in such a short time as they do not say what they do to help with brain zaps ect I am skeptical so if it does work for you let me know I am connected to many in withdrawal and they sure could use help. I for one dont really believe there is anything that stops withdrawal in 2-3 wks you may want to take a look at paxilprogress.org a slow and steady taper is suggested there are many people who have been able to get off these drugs however it may take a very long time. Good luck to you and if you go to this program and it is what it says let us all know thanks.
19 November 2009, 8:27 pmDrug Rehab Advisor:
Fact: I help people get off of psychotropics in weeks.
20 November 2009, 2:04 pmThe fact that you’re depending on belief tells me who advises you to keep taking drugs like effexor.
Sandy, switching from one psychotropic to another? Please read the drug’s inserts and google side effects or effects of effexor / paxil etc. These effects are created by the drugs your taking. Dr Peter Breggin in his book ‘Toxic Psychiatry’ makes it very clear how to come off of psych meds on an outpatient basis: slowly, via taper.
People who are under expert holistic / medical care are routinely being taken off of 10 and 20 years of paxil, effexor, ativan, methadone and other psychotropic meds in weeks, comfortably and without adverse reactions. How? By finding and correcting the ACTUAL problems 1st. I don’t have enough room to give a course in biology or detoxification here. If you and others want to come off psychotropics, that’s where I come in.
Gerry O:
I am assisting a friend to arrange detox and recovery from Crack and Methadone. She has done one crack detox and rehab and has had a relapse into periodic use of Crack. She is on a gradual methadone reduction program that is difficult to follow but she has been pretty steady about sticking to the program. I am wanting to help and have thought holistic rehab in Arizona might be best. I wondered what centers you have reviewed in Arizona. We have looked at these and wondered about the intensive vitamin and natural medicine supplement program they use to facilitate faster brain function recovery.
Any info you can provide would be appreciated
Cheers

Gerry,
22 November 2009, 11:53 amthanks for helping your friend with naturally getting off of methadone and crack. Arizona has several centers that specialize in holistic rehabilitation . These programs are proving significantly more effective than traditional ‘drug’em send them to a meeting’ approaches.
Arizona is home of a well schooled Naturopathic College and therefore many trained and skilled professionals make AZ home.
I’ve been working with several detox / rehab centers in AZ, some 12 Step and others non-12 Step.
Let me know which best works for you.
Meg:
I have been diagnosed with Fybromyalgia, Chronic Myaofascial pain, depression/anxiety as well a whole slew of other things that go along with the above. What I’ve discovered through research and trial and error is that most of my problems stem from food allergies/intolerance and toxic overload from alleopathic medicine.
19 January 2010, 11:11 pmI am currently trying to withdraw from a low dose (15mg) of methadone (for chronic pain ONLY). I tried dropping down to 10, but I’m having some pretty awful withdrawal symptoms. I’m currently on no other meds, having weaned myself off everything else (except nicotine). I’m broke from trying to get myself well, and would love to do this at home, but I’m scared about the long term effects I’ve been reading about re: withdrawal from Methadone, and my husband is concerned about me doing it at home because of the severe pain, anxiety and depression I experienced dropping down from 15-20mg to 10mg, and that it would be just me here most of the day (though he might be able to take a week off of work, if needed). I want a program that is as natural as possible and would especially like one that uses Chinese Medicine and nutrition. I don’t know how supportive my current Medical doctor would be…she hasn’t been the greatest, but with the Methadone and the fact that I’m on Medicare disability, my options are limited. As I live in Alaska, if I have to travel for treatment, I’d prefer somewhere sunny and warm. I don’t feel like I need a 12 step program, just help to keep my body from being ravaged by the withdrawal effects of this nasty drug, and to help me re-balance my brain and body chemistry. Any program would also need to accommodate my food allergies and intolerance. For example, I can’t take any supplements in a gelcap because I’m allergic to beef and pork. Wheat and Corn also seem to cause problems. I have oral and digestive reactions to many foods related to latex…and the list goes on… I’d appreciate any information you could give me.
Thanks for you time and willingness to help those of us caught in this Western medicine hell!

Meg,
19 January 2010, 11:29 pmfollowing our at home drug withdrawal program would be good, but you may want more care. Right up front It’s going to cost you a minimum of $10K for anything of any lasting benefit or value. That’s one month of inpatient. Better would be to go to $12.5K but you’d have to leave the country for that, and that may not be an option for you. Again for at home, go to our at home program.
Jackie:
I currently am on 50 mcg Fentanyl patches (epidermal system), take 30mg oxycodone IR every 4 hrs, and Xanax 1mg 3-5x’s daily (which is more abusive then “needed”). Additionally I will take about 4-8 vicodin 10mgs a day. I have a terrible condition where I will need pain medicine but realistically 3 times a day with 15 mg oxycodone is sufficient enough. I’ve been doing this routine for 2 yrs now, but much longer with benzo’s.In addition I abuse 20mg instant release Adderral, with 6 pills daily. What program do you recommend I look into? I live in WI.I need to get off these meds asap bc I want to gain my life back and be the mom I once was.

My husband has been on Paxil for many years and tried to get off, but experienced brain zaps and extreme lethargy…He is 69 and although he has tried to taper off and stop, he has been advised by Drs and Psychiatrist not to stop due to the withdrawal dangers and its benefit for alcohol treatment which he has been successfully sober for 8 years….
Help, he could not do this without being in intensive care facility.
11 July 2010, 2:50 amDrug Rehab Advisor:
Jean,
Your husband should definitely be commended for his 8 years of sobriety. Unfortunately it he’s also taking Paxil, his sobriety is not truly complete. The forums and 100s of callers who have contacted me worried about detoxing from Paxil, as their MD or Psych advised against it, are legion. Psychs advise against Paxil detox because they a) don’t know how to effectively move people off of Paxil without months of hellish withdrawals, b) they would have to admit that Paxil’s side effects which often aren’t visible until a person begin withdrawal, are actually not worth the supposed benefits of the drug; ie they’re worried about legal battles and horrible public repute.
The alternative is to seek out truly successful integrative medical health detox centers which specialize in Paxil and other psychotropic drug detox. These are few and far between. Please contact me about the options we may be able to consider. Factually, we need to consider minimum stays of 2 to 4 weeks. Costs start at approx. $12,000 and go up to $35,000 for longer term detox in excellent settings. As a note, I’ve never had difficulty helping people smoothly through a Paxil detox. But that’s because I only use programs that are expert at integrative medical approaches for drug detoxification and health rejuvenation.
11 July 2010, 9:55 amRhianne:
I am currently taking paroxetine, clonazepam, and quetiapine as prescribed by my psychiatrist to treat the symptoms of Emotional Dysregulation Disorder. I am fully aware that I will always contend with mental illness, though, I now seek to do that without the aid of synthetic/pharmaceutical medication, and with a holistic approach in mind. The main problem is, as I’m sure that you have encountered having heard time and time again- is that I have become utterly physiologically dependant upon these drugs and when I have attempted to withdraw from these drugs at home, even under a doctor’s supervision (which consists of a slow taper, a hardly adequate monthly visit to my psychiatrist and semimonthly visits to my counselor)- it is an excruciating and terrifying experience to undergo. I have attempted to withdraw three times now, over a span of five years, and have been unsuccessful. I know for a fact that my past attempts to withdraw from these drugs has been unsuccessful, not due to any lack of desire, resolve or ambition on my part, but because I am simply not receiving enough help. Though I do not live alone (I live with my fiance) it is hardly fair to expect of him to take upon himself the task of being my primary caregiver. Are there any appropriate treatment centers that specialize in handling my particular predicament that accept medicare/masshealth?
21 July 2010, 12:09 pmDrug Rehab Advisor:
Rhianne,
I understand the nature of your problem and realize you’re in a difficult position. Mass health generally covers pharmaceutical, counseling and related treatments. They are quite ineffective in resolving the problems you’ll be encountering detoxing off of your psych meds. The solution is proper and complete treatment. The least expensive and effective program I’m aware of would be $9,500 for the 1st month and would include all that I’ve promised in this article. Insurance probably won’t help in these programs unless it’s a PPO, it does not sound like it is.
21 July 2010, 2:29 pmI consider a person’s well being synonymous with their life. I suggest you invest in your well being,
