What is Detox Placement?

Detox is short for detoxification, and medical detox is the process for helping your body clear out drugs or alcohol from your body, while medical personnel help. Not only do they help by prescribing medication that can help with the withdrawal symptoms, but they can also prescribe additional substances to lower safety risks, along with withdrawal intensity.

When you or someone you love has gotten to the point where prescription drug dependence or exposure to powerful synthetic opioids like fentanyl has begun to run your life, help is available. Not only is it available, but it’s a smart move for anyone struggling with substance use.

Solo detox can be incredibly painful and even dangerous, depending on the addiction profile and drug of choice.[1] Medical detox can play a big part in keeping you safe during withdrawals with around-the-clock monitoring. Nursing or medical staff will keep 24-hour logs of vital signs, including blood pressure, breathing rate, hydration, and your mood, to help you stay in control.

At Epiphany Wellness in Tennessee, we’ll coordinate rapid admission to one of several trusted Nashville detox centers in our network all across the state. When you contact our admissions team, they’ll immediately begin your assessment, including substance history, mental health disorders, current medication information, and more. Then they’ll work with your insurance provider to figure out all the details about your coverage, benefits, and deductibles, and make sure you’re on track to get the right level of care.

How Detox Works

Once you arrive at your Nashville detox location, your providers will review your substance abuse profile, including substances used, last use, mental health history, and current medication needs. You’ll have a fully personalized detox treatment plan that can include things like medication-assisted treatment therapy for alcohol, opioid, or prescription drug withdrawals.

Your mornings will typically be mild, warming up with monitoring, comfort medication, and hydration. Afternoons will include group check-ins, counseling in both group and individual settings, and relaxation exercises that can help you learn to tolerate cravings while your body processes and clears the remaining substances.

What Happens After Detox?

Depending on individual needs, some people move into residential treatment programs, while others move into a PHP or intensive outpatient program.
