Passages Malibu believes that an opiate rehab program can be accomplished without severe discomfort and craving.Opiate detox in a drug rehab facility is the first step towards rehabilitation from an opiate addiction. Whether it is oxycontin, heroin, morphine or vicodin, drugs derived from the opium poppy model are very effective pain-killers. Along with the tolerance developed by the user, and further refinement of the modern day synthesized versions such as oxycontin, withdrawal from these opiate dirivitaves can be dangerous and painful. One of the “clinchers” of opiate treatment is that severe discomfort and pain usually leads the addict to resume using shortly after leaving an opiate treatment center. Passages Malibu believes that an opiate rehab program can be accomplished without severe discomfort and craving. Incremental doses of several recognized medications including suboxone are used in dramatically reducing the symptoms of withdrawal. Under the optimum care of skilled physician, most people in opiate detox rest comfortably through the entire process. At Passages Malibu, we provide personalized rehab programs tailored to each individual. We understand that there are different circumstances that have led each person to their drug dependencies. Alcohol treatment, for example, is not a cookie-cutter proposition. A one-size-fits-all approach rarely finds success. We believe it will take different treatment programs molded to the needs of each individual to assist in their rehabilitation. This begins immediately in alcohol detox, and continues all the way through a personalized program design that may include life-purpose training, spiritual counseling and aftercare. |
