Detoxification helps rid the body of the dangerous substances it has come to rely on. If a person attempts to go through this process without proper medical supervision, it can be dangerous and often painful. At Keystone Treatment Center in Canton, South Dakota, we offer medically supervised detoxification services for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with addictions. Patients who participate in detox at our treatment center spend an average of three to seven days going through this medically monitored process that clears alcohol or other drugs from a person’s system while minimizing withdrawal symptoms. Our staff of physicians and nurses is on hand 24/7 to observe our patients, ensuring a level of comfort and support. We encourage all patients to participate in our evidence-based therapeutic programming while in detox if they’re physically capable of doing so. Depending on a patient’s personalized detox treatment plan and unique needs, they may receive a prescribed medication to help avoid the negative effects of withdrawal.
