Detox Treatment and Therapies Beginning Addiction Recovery

Evidence-Based Treatments

The primary aim of detox treatment is to ensure that the withdrawal process is both safe and as comfortable as possible. When selecting a detox program, it’s essential to consider not only the physical side of addiction but also the psychological factors involved.

Throughout a patient’s stay, our medical professionals and case management team conduct a comprehensive Medical Evaluation along with a Bio/Psycho/Social assessment to identify both immediate and long-term detox needs. Our case managers work closely with each individual to develop and implement a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique goals and circumstances.

Choosing to quit is a major step toward a healthier life—and detox is often the first phase, helping to clear harmful substances from the body. Overcoming physical dependence can be one of the most difficult parts of recovery for individuals struggling with drug or alcohol addiction.

When someone abruptly stops using, their body enters a withdrawal phase. This period can be not only intensely uncomfortable but also potentially dangerous. Fortunately, there’s a safer way forward.

At Mesa Detox, we provide natural, supportive services to guide patients through the detox process. Detoxification is a medically managed procedure that carefully eliminates addictive substances from the body under the close supervision of licensed physicians and trained professionals.

We use proven medical methods to make the process safer and more effective:

  • 24/7 medical staffing
  • Vitals and Cardiac monitoring
  • Withdrawal symptom management
  • Nursing staff specialized in addiction treatment
  • Oral medication
  • Proper nutrition
  • Body movement sessions
  • Meditation and Reiki

Detox Safely & Comfortably at Mesa Detox

Psychologically detoxing from drugs and alcohol is one of the most important parts of addiction recovery. We have trained addiction specialists on staff that begin to prepare the mind for the next step in their journey while they work to heal their body. While the mental focus is more high-level than inpatient rehab, it is an essential first step in encouraging patients to continue to the next phase of treatment. Typically we see two primary settings for psychological detox.

Top Two Settings for Psychological Detox

Individual Case Management

Individual case management allows patients to work closely with our case management team to explore the personal factors contributing to their addiction and to develop a customized plan for life after detox. This step plays a vital role in assessing the patient’s readiness and dedication to long-term recovery. At Mesa Detox, we prioritize a comprehensive discharge planning process during each patient’s stay to ensure continued support beyond detox.

Group Therapy

At Mesa Detox, we provide daily group therapy sessions led by our addiction specialists in collaboration with patients undergoing treatment. These sessions offer a supportive environment where individuals can connect with others facing similar challenges, share insights, and work together to explore solutions or practice handling different situations through role-play.

At Mesa Detox, we primarily utilize the following therapeutic approaches:

  • Stages of Change Overview
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Emotional regulation
  • Addiction Cycle vs Recovery Cycle
  • The Brain on Stress (Overview of fight/flight/freeze and the benefits of
