Detox
Our experience with medical detoxification for health professionals
motivated us to create a program specific to physicians. Medical
doctors are used to a high degree of autonomy and control, especially
with regard to their own medical treatment. Before even entering
a rehabilitation or detoxification program, many physicians facing
substance abuse try to deal with the problem on their own. Their
reasons for failure include an inability to leave their environment
of abuse, continued unrestricted access to drugs and alcohol,
and a failure to change habits surrounding substance abuse. Without
addressing these matters, as stresses mount a physician attempting
to treat him- or herself will only fall back into the cycle of
habits for continued substance abuse.
Our detoxification course for physicians provides a practical,
proven solution for these problems. We provide a professional
facility staffed by addiction specialists including doctors, counselors,
and therapists. All clients are continuously monitored throughout
their stay (the length of which is variable, depending on severity
and drugs of choice), and we are medically prepared to handle
detoxification from pharmaceuticals, illegal drugs, and alcohol.
Our program for opiates, for instance, has a 7 to 10 day stay
and uses such state of the art medications as Buprenorphine (Subutex/Suboxone)
to medically relieve symptoms and ease the process without creating
physical dependence.
Continued Care and Treatment
After completing our program, many physicians feel that since
they are now clean they do not need further formal rehabilitation
or are capable of handling their program on their own. When such
questions are raised, we strongly emphasize the need for continued
care and treatment. While our detoxification program does touch
on some rudimentary subjects of substance abuse and addiction,
it does not sufficiently address such issues as using triggers,
long-term relapse prevention, and environment. We believe that
a strong understanding of the disease of addiction is important
for physicians- both for themselves and for their patients.
For a physician struggling with substance abuse, we emphasize
the importance of recognizing that addiction cannot be handled
alone. For more information on our programs or for further assistance,
please call us at 1-800-784-4791.
