Upon checking into our detox facility, a team of clinicians will conduct a thorough physical and psychological evaluation to help determine what you may expect during detox and create a personalized treatment plan. Once you are checked into your room, you can expect withdrawal symptoms to begin within hours of your last dose. Our team of medical professionals will administer medications to ease those symptoms or prevent dangerous symptoms such as seizures. Our team of doctors and nurses will monitor your vitals around the clock to ensure your safety.

All your meals will be prepared for you and will provide nutritional supplements such as oral or IV vitamins and amino acids to help your body begin healing from substance abuse. Once your symptoms have peaked and you begin to feel better, you may begin with individual and group therapy sessions to address the underlying causes of addiction and provide support during this difficult process. The River Source also incorporates other holistic treatment methods and medications to help ease withdrawals naturally such as massage therapy and infrared sauna. Everyone goes through drug detox differently, but you can expect to complete the process anywhere between 5 to 10 days.

All types of drug addiction present their own challenges during detox and will require specific treatment approaches. Our detox and rehab center at The River Source near Tempe, Arizona, employs a multidisciplinary team of professionals, supplies a variety of medications, and uses various addiction treatment methods to treat a wide variety of substance abuse. Drug dependence and addictions we treat include, but are not limited to:

• Amphetamine and stimulant addiction
• Benzodiazepine addiction
• Cocaine addiction
• Depression medication dependence
• Heroin and opioid addiction
• Marijuana addiction
• Methadone addiction
• Methamphetamine addiction
• Prescription drug addiction
• Psychedelic addiction
• Sleeping aid dependence

Methamphetamines can lead to severe physical and psychological addiction, which can be quite challenging to stop using on your own. Individuals attempting to stop meth abuse alone are often unsuccessful due to early relapse. The Meth detox program at The River Source provides medications and IV fluids to treat dehydration, which is the biggest concern when stopping meth use as it can lead to medical complications such as renal failure. Medications used in meth detox include benzodiazepines for anxiety, antipsychotic drugs, and over-the-counter pain medications.

While cocaine addiction primarily affects a person psychologically and behaviorally, overcoming physical dependence is still challenging. There are no specific FDA-approved medications for cocaine withdrawals, however, drug detox still boasts several benefits for those attempting to stop cocaine abuse. The River Source’s cocaine detox program uses holistic methods not common in other detox centers to naturally ease withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and co-occurring disorders. We also use psychotherapy and psychiatric drugs to help with many of the psychological withdrawal symptoms including depression.
