Find Drug & Alcohol Detox in Murrieta & Temecula, California

When you use drugs and alcohol excessively, your body and mind adapt to the changes caused by these chemicals. This explains why it seems to take more and more of a drug to keep getting the desired effect, but it also explains why the drug detox process can be so challenging. As you move through the detox portion of addiction treatment, your body readjusts to not having these mind-altering chemicals.

Without medical detox, the shock this causes can feel uncomfortable for your body, mind and spirit. In general, the length of detox is determined by how long a substance remains active in your system and usually lasts between three days and two weeks. However, there are a number of factors that impact how long you might be in a detox facility.

Let’s look at the duration of a drug detox depending on substance use:

• Alcohol: Medical detox from alcohol usually lasts for between one and two weeks, although you might need medication for longer to ease withdrawals. Despite how common alcohol misuse is, alcohol is one of the most difficult substances to detox from. It changes your brain in multiple ways, and the body adapts quickly to its presence.
• Benzodiazepines: Benzodiazepines have a similar effect on the body, which adapts to their presence and goes into shock if you suddenly stop taking them. Medical detox usually lasts for at least two weeks, although you might need medication support for longer to maintain a healthy body and mind.
• Cocaine: Cocaine leaves the body very quickly, so medical detox isn’t usually required for more than a week. However, the psychological impact of heavy cocaine use is extreme, forcing your body and mind to adapt to radical levels of dopamine, which can be severely depleted by substance abuse.
• Methamphetamine: Crystal meth causes extreme increases in dopamine and alters brain chemistry in a short time with heavy use. Medical detox usually lasts for a week, but recovery from this powerful drug often lasts months.
• Opioids: Heroin and other opioids cause potent releases of endorphins in the body that make them some of the most addictive substances in the world. Medication-assisted detox usually lasts for between one and two weeks, although treatment at rehab centers should be significantly longer.

Our goal, first and foremost, is to keep you as safe, comfortable and supported as possible. When you no longer fear alcohol and drug withdrawal, you can effectively detox and progress into your next level of addiction treatment.

When you arrive at Ranch Creek Recovery, our first step is to determine if sub-acute detoxification is the right treatment for your lasting recovery. During our initial assessment, we’ll examine the severity of your addiction and figure out if there are other health conditions we should be aware of before we begin treatment.

If sub-acute detox is deemed necessary, you’ll move into our treatment facility in Murrieta, CA, an hour away from Los Angeles and begin the detoxification process. Our expert and compassionate staff will be available at all times to support you as we flush the alcohol and drugs out of your body.

During this time, the Ranch Creek detox staff will have medications ready if you need them to ease any pain or discomfort you feel from withdrawal. Our team will monitor your condition regularly to ensure you’re detoxing safely and no complications arise.

As you progress through detox, you’ll be able to participate in therapy sessions or individual and family counseling to work through cravings and the negative thoughts and feelings you experience. This holistic approach to addiction detox helps to jump-start your body’s healing process and can improve your mental and emotional health.

The drug detox program you choose will lay the groundwork for the remainder of your addiction treatment. If detox isn’t successful, it could prevent you from reaching lasting recovery. At Ranch Creek Recovery, our sub-acute detox program is the right choice because:

Sub-acute detox has been proven to help people detox safely and successfully from substance abuse. Plus, with our ability to prescribe medications when needed, you’ll be able to push through all those uncomfortable moments when you feel like relapsing.

Detox is an emotional and vulnerable experience. That’s why we provide a staff that’s both highly trained in medical care and compassionate. Our staff won’t judge or shame you but will instead provide caring support and guidance.

Ranch Creek Recovery treats no more than six clients at a time. This allows our staff to provide the individualized, one-on-one care you need during this crucial time in your addiction rehab journey. This laser-focused attention will help you detox safely. We’re recognized by both the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) and Incidental Medical Services (IMS) to offer detox services in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Murrieta and beyond.

Our treatment facility offers the peace, tranquility and privacy you need to detox comfortably and prioritize your recovery. Besides the high-quality amenities you can enjoy, our facility is designed to be warm and welcoming so you can feel safe and at home during this time.

Drug detox is never easy, but the difference between attempting to do it alone and attending a medical detox center is night and day. Medication can practically eliminate the most uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and help you self-regulate. Plus, being under the care and attention of qualified staff 24 hours a day assures your safety as you go through the recovery process.

It’s also important to factor in that different individuals can experience withdrawal very differently. Factors such as pain tolerance, preexisting health conditions and emotional sensitivity mean a substance that’s traditionally associated with mild withdrawal could cause extreme distress.

That’s why we’d recommend that anyone who’s worried about their relationship to drugs or alcohol seeks advice about sub-acute detox in Los Angeles, Murrieta, Palm Springs and beyond.

However, generally speaking, the following substances are deemed the hardest to withdraw from:

• Opioids
• Alcohol
• Benzodiazepines
• Methamphetamine
• Crack cocaine

Detox is only the beginning of your recovery journey. The next step would be inpatient rehab or outpatient rehab. Addiction recovery treatment involves clearing the body and mind of external chemicals (detox) and then addressing the issues that drive you to use substances in the first place. Without the latter, the chances of relapse are very high — some might say inevitable.

At Ranch Creek Recovery, it all begins with our team of experts getting to know you: your motivations, triggers, history and goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to recovery, some may require inpatient rehab while others can settle to outpatient rehab, so we tailor our approach as much as possible. We work with you to create an individual treatment plan and continually assess and update it to make sure you’re getting the best possible care based on your unique needs.

Once you complete our holistic sub-acute detox program, you’ll transition into our residential treatment center. This is where you’ll participate in a rigorous schedule of evidence-based and experiential therapies to help heal your mind, body and spirit and teach you the necessary skills to maintain long-term sobriety.

Through our inpatient rehab, you’ll meet with trained psychologists and counselors during individual and group therapy sessions to get to the bottom of your substance abuse. You’ll also have the chance to participate in equine therapy, art therapy, meditation, family counseling and experiential activities designed to help you work through your emotions and become more self-aware.

What’s more, our opulent inpatient rehab environment includes a pool and fitness center and boasts just six beds, so you’re guaranteed the necessary care and attention from the qualified, friendly staff at our treatment center in Southern California.

You can find out if we work with your insurer by filling out an online form or calling us directly.
