Orange County Drug and Alcohol Detox Center

Alcohol Detox – Alcohol is one of the most accepted and frequently abused substances in the world, with an estimated 80% of Americans drinking. However, alcohol withdrawal is dangerous, can result in permanent complications, and can be life-threatening. Individuals struggling with alcohol abuse require medical monitoring and will typically receive medication to reduce symptoms such as seizures and tremors. In some cases, alcohol withdrawal develops into Delirium Tremens.

Benzodiazepine Detox– Benzodiazepines are one of the most commonly prescribed medications, but they are very addictive. Benzos include Librium, Lorazepam, Klonopin, Valium, and Xanax. Even regular prescription users can become physically dependent, which will eventually lead to dependence and addiction. Most importantly, withdrawing from benzodiazepines is a long and sometimes-dangerous process requiring strict management and medical monitoring. You may be prescribed a tapering schedule or medication to ease withdrawal symptoms to prevent tremors, delirium, and hallucinations. Sheer Recovery offers a benzodiazepine detox program, designed to help individuals safely recover, without the trauma of strong side-effects.

Prescription Pain Pills Detox – Prescription painkillers such as Vicodin, Hydrocodone, morphine, codeine, fentanyl, and oxycodone are among the most frequently abused drugs in the world. They’re also one of the most dangerous, with opiates contributing to over 30 deaths daily in the United States alone. Detoxing from opiate painkillers means going through a severe withdrawal phase where users experience cravings, lethargy, strong cold and flu symptoms such as vomiting, tremors, anxiety, paranoia, increased blood pressure, and an increase in agitation and irritability. Our Orange County Drug Detox Program offers support for opiate detox, including medication to ease symptoms and speed up withdrawal, maintenance medication to prevent cravings and relapse, and full clinical support.

Heroin Detox– Heroin is a street drug, but it is an opiate. Like prescription pain pills, heroin users should use medical monitoring to ensure safe recovery. Most users will experience the same symptoms as listed above for prescription pain pills.

Amphetamines – Amphetamines, including methamphetamine and prescription medication, are frequently abused but highly addictive and typically difficult to withdraw from. Users experience a strong crash after use, which worsens into depression, anxiety, aggression, and emotional blunting as well as severe cravings. While less dangerous, amphetamines are very difficult to quit on your own.
