Alcohol Detox
The withdrawal symptoms related to alcohol addiction can be life-threatening. Stopping alcohol can cause the body to go into shock. Medical supervision is critical when you want to stop.Many people believe that if they want to overcome alcoholism, they can gradually reduce the amount that they drink. However, alcoholism is a dangerous condition that creates a strong physical dependency. Stopping or reducing alcohol consumption can cause the body to go into shock.
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be serious – sometimes life-threatening – and for this reason, alcohol detox should be done under medical supervision. Inpatient programs are recommended not only to protect the health and safety of the patient but due to the easy availability of alcohol in non-medical settings.
Drug Detox
Drug dependence and the symptoms of withdrawal are varied. Medically supervised detox is the only way to ensure a safe transition to being clean. Do not attempt to stop on your own.If you have been using a drug for any length of time, you are likely to have developed some physical and/or psychological dependencies on it. In other words, you feel as if you need the drug in order to survive and function.
Since the effects of most drugs lessen over time, drug users have to take more in order to achieve the desired effects. Their bodies become used to it and go into revolt when they try to stop. The resulting withdrawal symptoms are so uncomfortable – and often frightening – that the individual seeks out more of the drug just to get away from the withdrawal symptoms. Many studies have shown that medically supervised detox can drastically reduce the risk of short-term relapse.
Inpatient drug detox has the following advantages:
- You are watched round the clock by medical professionals who can act immediately if you experience complications during your detox
- You are in a supportive setting in which you do not have access to the substance you are addicted to
- Your detox program is customized for you, with consideration for your age, state of health, the drugs you have been using, the length of your addiction and other relevant factors
- As you go through the detox process, your supervising doctor can help you identify inpatient rehab programs that are suited to your needs and circumstances

Opiate Detox
Opiates are a class of drugs that create strong physical and mental dependencies. This category includes the illegal street drug heroin, as well as a number of legal prescription drugs such as morphine, Vicodin, oxycodone and Fentanyl. One of the challenges of opiate addiction is that it frequently starts with users using prescription medication for legitimate purposes, and inadvertently becoming addicted to it. People in this position face the challenge of breaking the dependency while continuing to address the original medical needs.Opiates are popular among medical and recreational users because of their powerful painkilling and sedative properties. In some users, they produce strong feelings of euphoria. When used over time, though, these drugs can have detrimental effects, including the following:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Stomach pain, bloating and constipation
- Liver failure
- Brain damage resulting from hypoxia (a shortage of oxygen reaching the tissues)
“Cold turkey” is the practice of abruptly stopping the use of drugs. But when it comes to opiates, it is not necessarily the best choice. Undergoing a detox treatment in a medical detox facility is far better and safer. Here you will receive constant medical supervision as you recover from opiate addiction.
Inpatient Detox
The first time you use alcohol or a particular drug, you may experience some intense effects. For example, you might feel euphoric or calm, or find that there is an easing of chronic pain. While these effects may seem desirable, they are usually accompanied by harmful effects, like digestive problems, an elevated heart rate or slowed breathing. In some cases, a substance can result in hallucinations, violence and thoughts of suicide.
The second time you use the drug, you will find that you have to take a little more than you did the first time or order to achieve the desired effects. The third time, you will have to take even more. As you gradually build up your dosage and frequency of use, your body and mind become dependant on the drug until you get to the point where you are not able to function without it. At the same time, the negative effects may prompt you to want to stop using the drug, but when you try to quit, you experience physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms that are uncomfortable and frightening, and sometimes life-threatening. Many people who try to stop using alcohol or drugs without assistance relapse very quickly, because they are so desperate to escape the unbearable withdrawal symptoms.
Inpatient detox is a drug and alcohol withdrawal method whereby you are given round-the-clock medical care as the substance works its way out of your system. Your withdrawal symptoms are managed as they happen, and you are kept safe from the more intense effects. For people with severe or long-standing addictions, and for those who have coexisting physical and mental health conditions, inpatient detox is often the only safe choice.
Critical Addiction Care
Put Yourself in Caring Hands
When a recovering drug or alcohol addict experiences substance withdrawal, medical detox gives both a safe and effective means of eliminating substances from the body. Our physician-led medical team of experienced nurses and clinical staff will supervise your every step towards a healthier and sober you.
With our team of trained professionals, we can assure you that you get the utmost care for the treatment and management of your addiction concerns. For many substances, withdrawal can cause fluctuations in heart rate, blood pressure and temperature, so these vital signs are closely monitored by nursing staff. A safe detox takes place at a licensed detox facility with medical oversight from experienced and caring staff.
Effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Medical detox is most effective as a component of a larger treatment program that addresses the underlying emotional, spiritual and behavioural causes of addiction.

Do I Need an Inpatient Detox Centre?
Some people with very mild addictions are able to detoxify themselves at home, with occasional visits to a doctor to check progress.
- The substance you are addicted to
- How long the addiction has lasted, and how much of the substance you use
- Your state of physical health, and the presence of any medical conditions
- Whether or not you are taking medication
Whether you need an inpatient detox program depends on several factors:
Others may receive help from an outpatient detox program, in which they undergo medical treatment during the day and released to go home at the end of each afternoon. This might be a choice for you if:
- Your addiction is not severe enough to call for round-the-clock medical attention during withdrawal
- You can receive help from the support of friends and family
- You and your doctor feel that you will be able to avoid using the substance you are detoxing from
- You can keep your employment, education and activities
Medical Detox Rehab in Ontario
Difference Between Medical Detox and Addiction Rehab
Medical detox is a key step in the addiction recovery process that should come before rehab. It is important to have a medical assessment for your specific medical situation. Medical detox is a necessary process for those who have developed a physical dependency on the substance they have been using.
Dependence Increases
Dependence on drugs or alcohol increases as you become more accustomed to the substance and you find yourself having to use it more often, and in larger doses, to gain the desired effect. While this is happening, your body is getting used to the substance, and then addiction occurs. Mentally and physically you feel that you can not survive without it. If you try to stop using the drugs or alcohol, your body goes into revolt and you experience withdrawal effects that are uncomfortable and can be life-threatening.
Safest Way
Medical detox is the safest way for people with addictions to free their bodies of addictive dependence. While you are removing your dependence, you need to be supervised by doctors. At our private clinic, patients are kept comfortable, safe and protected from the debilitating effects of withdrawal.
The Next Step is Rehab
Rehab is the next step after detoxification. Rehab therapy includes individual and group counselling, holistic and therapeutic treatment specific to the issues that caused the person to begin using in the first place. For rehab to work, people need to first remove their dependence on the substance. Medical Detox and removing the substance from your body is the most important first step towards addiction recovery.
Medical Professionals
You Shouldn’t Go It Alone
The most important step in your rehabilitation is removing drugs or alcohol from your system. The only way to do this without outputting your life at risk is with medically supervised detoxification. Our medical professionals care for you 24/7 – 7 days a week.
Our Private In-Patient Treatment Clinic is located in Ontario and serves clients throughout North America and the World.
What Happens Next?
For those with addiction, overcoming the physical dependency is an essential first step, but it is not enough. We know that almost all addictions are underpinned by issues that need to be addressed in a rehab setting.
The circumstances that lead to addiction are different for everybody, and include the following:
- Experiencing or seeing a traumatic event
- A history of child abuse, sexual assault or domestic violence
- Military combat
- A history of bullying
- Mental illness
- Troubled family relationships
People who undergo medical detox without rehab are at a high risk of relapse because their psychological dependency on the substance has not been addressed.
