Drug Detox Centers
The different types of drug detox centers
The more successful drug detox centers today are the alternative, in-patient facilities that offer either long-term or short-term stays. These are residentially designed facilities that come complete with many of the amenities that the individual is used to at home. The addition of recovery tools (classes, educational materials, outdoor activities, and life skills programs) makes the residential drug detox centers more conducive to long-term recovery.
How to enjoy success at drug detox centers
Whenever you are being treated for your substance addiction or dependency issues, there are a few things that you can do in order to be successful at any of the drug detox centers. Here are some tips:
Be friendly towards others – the peer support offered during the detox and treatment stage, recovery, and long after you have returned to society is one of the more invaluable elements involved in addiction treatment and recovery. Although no two individuals in any drug detox and rehab center are ever alike, you all have one thing in common. Having another pair of ears listen to you is a benefit because you have all endured the same fears, issues, and struggles associated with substance abuse, addiction, and dependency.
Be honest and open with the staff members and your peers – although drug detox is a critical part of the drug rehab process, it pales in comparison to the psychotherapeutic treatment stages that follow. Your group or individual counseling sessions give you the opportunity to open up and tell your story to those around you. By not opening up totally and being completely honest, decreases your ability to progress positively through the remainder of your addiction rehab program.
Do what the doctor tells you – this is just common sense. One thing that you need remember is that you cannot cheat the system in drug detox centers and rehab programs. If the physician instructs you to drink a lot of water or get plenty of rest than do it! It’s just that simple. Remember that these are trained professionals who are genuinely concerned about your health and well-being.

Many of our addiction rehab programs are based on our 5 Phase Step-Down Model, the first stage of which is detoxification. This stage is similar to those stages of other drug detox centers in that the removal of the substance toxins from your body along with any residues is the goal. It is extremely intense at times yet a highly structured stage of the 5-stage process. Please call the Delray Recovery Center for more information about this program (or any of the others we offer) at the toll-free phone number listed at the top of this page.
