Detox is the first and most important step in the journey of recovery from addiction; at this critical stage, our Program aims to help your body clear the effects of the addictive substance in complete safety and with maximum effectiveness.

This is achieved by easing severe withdrawal symptoms and reaching the full physical and psychological stability that is essential before the rehabilitation treatment that follows can begin.

The Scientific Basis and Approved Medical Protocol

We follow the highest international standards of healthcare; withdrawal symptoms are managed entirely under intensive medical supervision, using scientifically approved medication protocols to achieve physiological stability and reduce health risks, giving you a withdrawal that is as safe and comfortable as possible.

Our Commitment to Personalised, Ongoing Care

Our Service goes beyond initial treatment; it is a personal journey towards lasting wellbeing. We fully understand your unique challenges and goals, which is why our treatment approach is tailored using clinically proven methods and compassionate care.

Tailoring the Treatment Plan

Your detox plan is carefully tailored on the basis of a comprehensive assessment that covers:

• The type of addictive substance: (alcohol, opioids, stimulants, etc.).
• Duration and amount of use: to gauge the expected severity of symptoms.
• General health and co-occurring diagnoses: to make sure there are no medical conflicts.

What Does the Detox Program Include?

Specialised, Intensive 24/7 Medical Care

Intensive round-the-clock medical and nursing supervision to monitor vital signs closely and respond immediately to any medical complications that may arise.

1)

Managing Withdrawal Symptoms and Relieving Pain

Medication protocols designed specifically to reduce the intensity and danger of physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms, including nausea, muscle pain, severe anxiety, insomnia, or serious symptoms such as seizures or delirium tremens.

2)

Comprehensive Medical and Psychological Assessment

A thorough examination of the patient's physical and mental health to identify any underlying health problems or psychiatric disorders (dual diagnosis) that need treating at the same time, ensuring the greatest possible safety in the use of medication.

3)

Achieving Physiological Stability and Preparation

The main goal of this stage is to stabilise the patient's physical condition, leaving them mentally and physically ready to engage fully in the next stage of psychological and behavioural rehabilitation.

4)

Comprehensive Support and a Safe Transition

Achieving physical stability through detox is your first step towards regaining your strength. We understand that real recovery takes time, trust, and the right guidance; that is why our approach offers:

A safe, non-judgemental environment:

We give you a safe, supportive space entirely free of judgement, designed to help you focus solely on your physical recovery.

Building bridges to aftercare:

Our role does not end when detox ends. Your detox plan is integrated seamlessly into the next rehabilitation Program (inpatient or half-residential treatment) to ensure continuity of care without any interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions About Detox

Is detox the complete treatment?

Detox is the first, essential step that ensures your physical safety. However, it is not a complete treatment for addiction. This stage must be followed directly by intensive psychological and behavioural therapy (rehabilitation) to address the root causes and prevent relapse.

How long does the detox Program take?

The length varies with the type of substance and the severity of the addiction, but it usually ranges from 3 to 10 days. The decision to discharge is based on how stable your medical condition is and your readiness for the next stage.

Is detox painful?

No. At El Massar Center we apply modern medication protocols to ease withdrawal symptoms (physical and psychological) and help the patient through this stage with as much comfort and safety as possible.

Can I detox at home on my own?

We strongly advise against it; detoxing at home is dangerous and can lead to serious medical or psychological complications. In addition, the lack of supervision raises the risk of relapse and returning to use as soon as withdrawal symptoms appear.
